    About this ebook

    It’s time for bed, and Dexter and his mom are following their bedtime routine. Dexter loves this special moment with his mom as he snuggles in the crook of her arm to listen to her read stories. Of course, to delay the inevitable sleep, he chooses the four longest books in his library.

    But mom doesn’t read the words on the page. She tells her son a story of Dr. Dexter Scott, a world-famous paleontologist who has discovered many great dinosaur fossils and is on his way to unearthing a new dinosaur. The doctor won many awards, but most of all, he followed his dreams and is happy doing what he loves.

    A picture book for children, Dexter’s Dreams shows kids they have the ability to be great and to do anything and everything they dream.

      The Most Difficult Story I Ever Wrote

      Aug 29, 2019

      It took me more than a dozen years to write. In 2017, I “finished” it. That’s in quotations because it’s a lie—I knew it wasn’t really finished. The post The Most Difficult Story I Ever Wrote appeared first on The Millions.
