Yesterday, Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards announced the medalists in their 2019 contest, and Snow Globe Travelers was awarded the silver medal in the Pre-Teen Fiction Ebook category!
I’m humbled and overwhelmed by gratitude. There’s so many thing swirling around in my head, but words seem impossible just now.
None of this would be possible without God and all the people who helped and encouraged me along the way.
Thank you! And congratulations to all the medalists!!

About Snow Globe Travelers: Samuel’s Legacy
A mysterious snow globe shop. A multiverse at war. And a girl searching for her father.
In the heart of Vienna, twelve-year-old Sarah Ann Reisende wanders into a mysterious shop where snow globes double as portals to other worlds. After breaking the globe tethered to Earth, she discovers a cryptic note scribbled on the back of a photograph. The note links her father, who left before her third birthday, to a place called Elohi. Could this be a chance to find her father at last?
Unable to return home, Sarah follows the lead into the world of Elohi. But an army of vicious hybrids led by a genetically engineered warrior named Malvine now rules the once peaceful planet, and she becomes a target as Malvine wants to use the shop’s connections to wage war.
Can Sarah uncover the truth behind her father leaving and find a way home before Malvine gains control of the shop?
Samuel’s Legacy is the first book in the Snow Globe Travelers series, a middle-grade science fiction adventure series.
