How do you achieve your dreams? Hard work and determination to think "that happens all the time". My dream was to publish my first children's book I've always loved writing and it has lead my life in many directions so I'm glad I finally get to share this with everyone .
As a child I grew up with my grandparents and parents out on the carnival we always had a Hometown in between traveling where my mom would raise us on the week days then on the weekends we traveled to the carnival which just as much home because it was our grampa's and gramma house, and where we grew up. So coming from a rural mountain town in California I guess you could say our life was pretty adventurous. when I was 13 my parents started a pizza place in Clear Lake where we grew up working with them. After I graduated from high school I left to Nashville for a few years to try my hand at songwriting. That's where I learned the art of pursuing your dreams while working for your means. My road has led me back to Shasta Lake California where I operate a small pizza place in our family and work closely with our local historical society creating a "dam museum". In the midst of all of that at work I decided to write this Cali the Carny book. I'm inspired by the stories and memories of the carnival. I hope and intend to turn this book into an adventure book series for children. I started because I couldn't find a carnival stories to share with my nieces and I thought our old lifestyle and adventures were amazing and fun. My childhood was truly magical thanks to my parents, grandparents, older brothers, and carnival family so here is to them may we enjoy the ride.
