Meet The Author
Life is always a mystery if you are doing it right. Children are most themselves prior to puberty. With my writing I want to help them identify what lights them up during those innocent years. And, then find ways to help them continually remind themselves of their light as the pressures of being part of a greater world come to awareness. My daughter’s unceasing interest in the world is the origin story for Hiccup. Even with Google, I found she could stump me with questions about seemingly simple things… like Hiccups. Recently I learned, from my daughter, that our understanding of such things as Hiccups can be considered a part of an area of study called Folklore. Folklore is dedicated to those things we still learn just not scientifically – or at least not obviously scientifically. But that is a discussion for another book.

I am a published academic author. I have written campaign literature for a national political campaign (my candidate got reelected). I have written college newspaper articles (about a crime I was unlucky enough to witness). And, I sometimes will wax eloquent on reviews for food or service if asked at the right moment. But, this Children’s book is an adventure with many twists and turns. Since we do not have the science just right, it has been a joy to revisit my childhood and how our family went about getting rid of hiccups. Hopefully, you’ll have found success with one of the methods in this book. If not, please send your hiccup remedies to me so we can continue to build the lore (or, maybe, some scientist will see the pattern and create the science).
Thank you for visiting my page. I hope the Hiccup story made you grin.
