Teacher-Author? Me too! Let’s talk

This week, my wonderful efriends and fellow teacher-authors are helping me launch my latest prehistoric fiction novel, The Quest for Home.

Driven from her home. Stalked by enemies. Now her closest ally may be a traitor.

An early review…

“I can’t begin to imagine the hours of research, not to mention the actual writing time, that went into this wonderful gem of a story. I highly recommend this book. It’s a must read for those who love prehistoric fiction.” —Sandra Cox, author of ThunderTree

I know–this isn’t about education. In fact, the excitement is happening over on my writer’s blog where I am not only a teacher but an author. Today, I’m here on Ask a Tech Teacher, asking my fellow teacher-authors to help me kick start this launch.

My promise to you: Leave a comment below. I’ll follow up and make you part of my writing community. There’s nothing more powerful than us supporting each other!

I’ll be visiting efriends’ blogs between September 16th-30th to chat about The Quest for Home. Some of the questions we’ll cover:

1. How do you know these People are as smart as they seem?
2. Their speech is too sophisticated.
3. Convince me they can communicate as well as it sounds like they do with just gestures, hands, and facial movements.
4. Could primitive man build rafts as suggested in this story?
5. Was there really a giant upright primate like Giganto (Zvi’s friend)?
6. What does ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ side mean?
7. How did early man tell time?
8. What does a ‘hand of Sun’s travel’ mean?
9. Why are these characters so violent?
10. I am not reading these books in order. Does it matter?
11. Could Xhosa (the main character of The Quest for Home) really have traveled with a wolf companion?
12. The Quest for Home hints at a spiritual side to man. Is that accurate?
13. This is part of a series. What’s that about?
14. How does the trilogy Dawn of Humanity tie into the trilogy Crossroads?
15. What’s the relationship between Xhosa (and Homo erectus) and animals?
16. What one characteristic would you say allowed Xhosa to survive in a world populated with Sabretooth Cats, violent volcanoes, and predatory species who liked to eat man?
