Hi Rosalie and thank you so much for having
me today. I am thrilled to be visiting with you.
I would like to talk about my short story Billy Cooper’s Awesome Nightmare – The Wickware Sagas.
It’s for the MG kiddos and it’s a time travel adventure. I have sent in four other stories and the plan is to have a book, starring kids of today coming face to face with historical legends of yesteryear. I am really excited about this project with Billy Cooper starring in Volume One.

Seventh grader, Billy Cooper, watches as
the clock in his last hour class ticks by at a snail’s pace. Old lady Wickware’s mouth is moving but Billy
is paying no attention. History was not a favorite subject of his and besides
it’s Friday and he has baseball practice, right after this class, if that darn
bell would ever ring.
Billy had heard the rumors about Miss
Wickware. Weird things happened in her
class. Lights flickered, the radio would
turn on by itself, electricity would shoot out of the end of her fingers, things
happened to different students, but nobody was actually talking.
It was bunk! Miss Wickware was a nice old lady that cared
about history and her mission on earth was to boar Billy to death.
“And this oral report will be due on
Monday.” That got Billy’s
attention. “Everyone will draw a subject
out of this box. It does not have to be
long, just factual.”
Among the grumbling of the other students,
Billy’s mind was going over all the things he had planned for the weekend….
ball practice, the new Matt Damon movie, and fishing with his dad.
It’s Billy’s turn to draw his subject. William Tell.
Who was William Tell?
No worries.
A ten-minute search on the computer and he will bluff his way by on this
assignment. The bell rings and Billy smiles as he rushes out the classroom
door.
His attitude takes a different turn when he
wakes up the next day in front of William Tell’s home in the fourteenth
century. How did he get here and the
bigger question is how will he get home????
