If you can imagine it – you can write it.
Imagination is the catalyst behind every good fiction story. By allowing yourself to unlock your imagination you can literally do anything in the universe – and then some! If you can think of the next step your character should take, you can start writing that character’s story. Soon, that character will start taking on a life of his or her own. Before long, your imagination will shock even yourself as your story continues. I’ll admit that even I have found myself laughing hysterically or crying crocodile tears as my fingers type out a scene I was not prepared for. When your story shocks even you – the writer – you know it’s going to be good! That is exactly why Imagination is key!
As an only child I discovered the joy of entertaining myself through my stories and carry that thrill through the writing process to my young readers. I love going to schools and visiting libraries. Reading to and educating children is a true joy of mine. Please contact me if you’d like to have an author visit your students.

I write an inspirational BLOG: KathleenJShields.com and would love it if you would Follow Me. I write about being an author, business owner and Christian. I offer educational tidbits about writing, publishing, graphics design and more. I impart inspirational messages and food for thought, then I throw in some crazy topics every once in a while. I also, of course, post updates regarding my books, readings and tradeshows.
Additionally, I host Hamilton Troll’s website, which contains games for children to play, videos to watch (I call it Troll TV), and there are printable coloring pages.
I also developed a curriculum to go along with the series. Parents, teachers and homeschoolers can work language arts, math and science into their day of Hamilton Troll.
