As contributing writer of a news magazine and a writer of action-adventure children chapter books featuring heroes, I have had a life long passion for the history of comic strips, comic book superheroes, and their creators.
As a substitute teacher, elementary school paraprofessional, and preschool teacher, I realized some educational markets like ABDO publishing, created supplements about super-heroes and made them available for elementary schools. Spider-Man. The Hulk. Captain America. The Avengers. So many of these figures are accepted and used as a tool for a theme or lesson in the classroom.
Naturally, since I have had a strong interest in comic books and the creation of it all, I felt I had a duty to not only write about my own hero creations, but also to develop a platform for others who have a passion for the history of comic strips and their creators. It's a fascinating subject and I learn something new each time I study the topic.
Adults will never get tired of comics and graphic novels. There always have been a great appreciation for this art form.
That's why I decided to create a new monthly newsletter titled, "Superhero Sandwich." This is a great way to share some facts about the golden age of comics and to invite readers to share their thoughts, knowledge, or opinions.
Aside from that, the themes in my fiction and nonfiction action-adventure books can go along with the lessons children learn in school or summer camps and help mold cognitive development; especially in the field of English language arts.
My mission is to get the message out there about comic heroes and their creators and use their stories to share and reflect during a time when comics were falsely considered only, "kids stuff." I like to connect with readers who have this passion for comics and the hard working people behind the scenes who made it all work.
