Before beginning to write about 8 yea...Hi Michelle<br /><br />Before beginning to write about 8 years ago, most of my professional life has been involved in the production of films, video programs, and TV commercials. In the film production realm, I’ve worked on and marketed dramatic films for children. What we found during those years was that boys wouldn’t watch a film if the main character was a girl, but girls were as interested in boy’s adventure and mystery stories as the boys were.<br /><br />I used this experience as a template for my writing.<br /><br />It's so important to draw attention to reading, and attract reluctant readers to it, especially boys. In fact, I've recently completed a feature magazine article on this subject that came out in October, "Help for Struggling, Reluctant Readers." <br /> <br />I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.<br /> <br />My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading. And my new book, Lost Island Smugglers - first in the Sam Cooper Adventure Series - is coming out in June. Contracts are also signed for Captain Jack's Treasure and River Rampage.<br /><br />Keep up your good work.<br /> <br />Max Elliot Anderson<br />PS. My first 7 books are going to be republished by Comfort Publishing later in 2010maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602676696397151703noreply@blogger.com
