Personal Background from the Author:
I'm a children's book writer. The stories I write are recreations of stories I
used to tell to my boys as bedtime stories. Each book is a complete, new and
different story about Boga Bear and his friends, Skola Squirrel
and Bunko Bunny and their adventures growing up in the forest and
learning about life, friendship and having fun. Each book is designed for the
parent to read to their child(ren) just I told these stories to my children. The
age range of my listeners and early readers, is 4-8 year olds.
I'm a 58 year old, single parent of two boys and I live in Roseville. I retired
from Pac Bell (sorry I can't call it SBC) in 2002 due to a back disability that
prevented my from doing my job effectively. When I retired, I decided to fill my
time by recreating the stories I used to tell to my boys. I'm also involved at
both of my children's schools, assist in the Track & Field programs at both
schools, involved in both Cub and Boy Scouts, President of my homeowners
association and support my children at there various sporting events. Writing is
the easy part of my life. Trying to keep up with my boys with there various
activities and squeeze in marketing of my books is the hard part.
I decided to become a writer because I wanted to leave my boys something to
remember me by. A legacy that they could read to there children. I'm not in it
for the money, but If I can make a buck, so much the better.
I'm also a veteran, having served my time during the Viet Nam War era in the
Navy and Naval Air Reserves. I served on the USS Yorktown and was the 3rd person
on board to spot the Apollo 8 space craft as it made it's reentry to the earths
atmosphere. I was one of the fortunate few during my tour of duty, and during
that volatile time of our countries history, that never had to see the war up
close.
Sincerely,
Phil Silver
