BBB: What inspired you to become a children's author?
TCB: My profession as a teacher allows me to spend each day in the world of children. Their perspective on things never ceases to amaze and delight me. My passion as a teacher is to instill the love of reading in all children. My desire as a writer is create stories that will engage them and make them want to read. So to sum it all up, the children are my inspiration to write.

BBB: How did you come up with the idea for your book, The Time Travel Storm?
TCB: My class of third graders 2 years ago like books about time travel, such as The Magic Tree House. I wrote The Time Travel Storm for them and shared it with them on "Hobby Day". I also weaved Social Studies into the story by showing what life was like for children in the past.
BBB: Tell us about your main character, Alex?
TCB: Alex is a normal third grade boy who is excited about going on a field trip with his class. He has a favorite hat and a best friend named, Scott. When he finds himself in an unusual position,(a one room school house in the 1800's), "he goes with the flow" and tries to make the best of it. He discovers that he likes school today more than he thought.
BBB: What do you hope readers will enjoy most about The Time Travel Storm?
TCB: I hope the readers enjoy learning about school in the past through the eyes of Alex and enjoy a laugh or two throughout the story.
