Best and Worst

Is there something you do, a skill, talent or attribute, that might be both a positive and negative in your life? My 10-year-old character realizes this about her artistic nature and must come to terms with the way she uses it. Her talent makes her unique among her classmates, but sometimes her pride and ego become the driving force behind her creativity. My own "best/worst" trait might be an addiction to current events. I love to read two newspapers a day - one local and one world - relishing the daily ritual with my cappuccino each morning. Yes, I'm informed about what's happening in the world, but I often find myself having to rush through other parts of my day. However, the best part of all that newsprint absorption are the new ideas for other scenes, stories, helpful facts and potential adventures for Maxzyne.

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

Maxzyne grins as Rosa admires the sketch and gives her a nod of approval. “Thanks, Rosa.”

It means a lot to hear such a compliment coming from a talented and pretty girl like Rosa. Maxzyne scrawls her signature across the bottom of the creased page, trying to explain. “My drawing got me into a lot of trouble today at school.” She swallows hard before continuing. “Sometimes I think it’s the best and worst part of me.”
