BIO

I'm just a teenager trapped in a fifty-something year old body who gets my writing inspiration from having raised the three Killer B's ... Brandon, Blake, and Brianna. And from being involved in a variety of ways with teen groups, teaching, and currently masquerading as mature with a college & career class. A love of reading stories from the Sugar Creek Gang, Danny Orlis, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and others when I was a kid now fuels the creativity to write the Barton Family Adventures.  The goal is to spark young people's imagination while challenging the perception that "being a Christian and serving God is boring."

I have been blessed to be able to travel to a wide range of places in this world ... 45 states in the USA and 21 countries abroad ... so far.  A lot of it is business travel with busy weeks visiting customers or clients, but if I can find a way to make time on the weekend, it's time to grab my Nikon and head out on a photo hunt.  Once in a while, the Green Eyed Girl gets to come on an adventure with me ... those are the best!

​

I hope you enjoy browsing the gallery of destination and travel photography from those trips. Maybe it will ignite a bit of wanderlust in you.  When you find one or two that inspire you, click over to the Puzzle HolidayZ store on Zazzle and pick up the jigsaw puzzles to put your skills to the test.  Or you can grab a puzzle along with posters, cards, tapestries, and a bunch of other things at Redbubble.  Check out more at www.puzzleholidayz.com
