Produktbeschreibung

Based on a true story.

"Tommy and the Great Fireworks Caper" is a heartfelt tale narrated by Tommy, a great-grandfather writing to his newborn great-granddaughter, Rebecca. Reflecting on his adventurous childhood in the now-forgotten town of Vivian, Alberta, Tommy shares a secret story from his youth during the Great Depression. Growing up amidst economic hardship, Tommy and his friends found joy and mischief in simple pleasures like comics and makeshift baseball games.

Driven by a desire for excitement, Tommy embarks on an unexpected business venture by secretly importing and selling fireworks to the kids of Vivian, circumventing strict town laws. His operation grows rapidly, leading to chaos as fireworks light up the town, attracting the attention of local authorities.

The story captures Tommy's growth as he navigates the complexities of right and wrong, the thrill of adventure, and the bonds of friendship and family. Ultimately, his tale serves as a cherished legacy for Rebecca, connecting her to a vibrant past and the enduring spirit of youth and resilience.

Autorenporträt

I have been a writer, producer and editor of video productions since the 1980's. My work has been on almost every network in Canada and the US including CBS, NBC, PBS, Family Channel, CBC, Global, Discovery, and so on. Although I've been writing since forever I signed my first professional writing contract in 1994. As soon as I realized I could make a living doing something that I enjoyed as much as I do writing, that became my primary focus.
Like a lot of boys, I lost interest in reading when I was old enough to call myself a guy. Friends, games (not the online kind, they didn't exist yet) and television dominated my life. I rediscovered the joys of reading at around 13, when I was lucky enough to have a teacher who convinced me that the power of imagination was far better than anything I could see in movies and TV. Since then I have been challenging myself to read more and different works and to understand the strength and differences of each type of writing, whether it is comics and graphic novels, classic fiction from other centuries or science fiction and fantasy. This has helped expand my writing, which I hope you will see in my books.
