Ideas I’m Working On
November 3, 2006
I thought as a start I’d let you in on some of the stories I’m working on:
1. Kay, a Canadian girl about 13 whose diplomat family recently moved to Rio de Janeiro. Kay has to struggle with the typical problems of making new friends but also picking up a new language and even more difficult, learning a new ballet style. I’m aiming this at the young adult novel market.
2. Stu is a typical 9 year old boy. His over-achiever parents can’t understand how their son could be such a goof-off. When they take him to a new restaurant on his birthday called “All in a Stew” the adventure takes off. Stu is the long awaited child prodigy stew maker who takes the humble stew to new heights. I’m aiming this at the middle age market.
3. I’m working on an action-packed idea about two 16 year olds and their lives as pizza delivery boys.
