A few years ago, I toyed with the idea of writing a kids series about authors; each book would find the character going back in time to discover what the world was like that the author wrote about. I penned one book in the series. It's called "Roughing It." It parallels many of Mark Twain's books, but mostly it's about California during the Gold Rush. The real life author (Mark Twain in this book) would always play a minor role in the story, but the book itself was more about the times that author lived in. The next book would have been about the movie industry during the 30s and would have paralleled the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I've toyed with the thought of revisiting the series, and retooling it a little. For now, however, the project is very deep in my list of things to write.
If you'd like to read the first book, it's now available on Kindle.
You can read it here.
Tomorrow I'll post the first couple chapters from the story.
