I was attending college to become a computer animator, however I enlisted in the United States military. Despite the career change my forte for creativity never died and I owe all of it to God. From there I began to write the novel "The Judges Chronicles: Rebirth of Shavron(2nd edition) ---now in print. My style of writing relies heavly on the Bible. I'm new to the publishing world and look forward to publishing the other three manuscripts that I have completed in the same series. I am a Christian with a desire to share God with children (or anyone for that matter)  through books, short stories, and poetry. I reguarly blog on associated content, displaying most of my work for anyone to enjoy. Aside from the Bible, my favorite stories are the classics (Ivanhoe, Treasure Island, Little Women, etc.) This kind of writing also has a deep influence over my work, but not as much as the Bible does. My pen name is "Ivan Sugarwood"  If you are interested in buying the book, you'll find it to be a overall great read for you and any child between the ages of 5 to 8. The first chapter is found my website: www.authorsden.com/adstorage/90163/Firstchapter.doc Have your child sit with you as see their reaction.
