1) My love for fantasy adventure books. In some ways this is a fun-filled love letter to the genre and books like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hobbit, and The Chronicles of Narnia (upon which I based the subtitle of my book).

2) My work with Dr. Michael Gurian (Saving our Sons; The Purpose of Boys; The Minds of Girls) on rites of passage. I took that work and turned it into an engaging story, hoping to impart, as all good fantasy adventures do, some good values and character qualities to think about.

3) Being a grandpa. My grandkids inspired me to write this story.(less)

Our Boys Need a New Storyline

Mom of two sons, Elissa Strauss, wrote this in an op ed to CNN: Since my sons were born, I've tried to speak openly about gender. I've taught both of them, now ages 5 and 9, how to spot the ways the world holds girls and women back. I've also taught them about gender norms in toys and clothes, and why it is OK for both boys and girls to break them. I thought I was being proactive in my approach un Read more of this blog post »
