Who is C.R.?
Caitlin is a Christian author who loves learning and aspires to use the powerful tool of storytelling for God’s glory.
She had the privilege of being home-schooled and is very grateful for the unique opportunities this gave her to grow close to her family and learn how the Bible applies to all of life. It also provided the perfect scenario for her to develop her love of writing and begin her first full-length novel, which was published by Vision Forum under the title Baker Family Adventures: Summer of Suspense. The sequel, Peril on Providence Island, was released last year.
Both of the books, as well as the next two installments in the series, Riddle of the Ruby Ring and The Treacherous Trail, are available from Vision Forum.
She is blessed to live with her family in the beautifully green and pleasant county of Hertfordshire, England. Connect with her on Facebook here.
Why Family Adventures?
Most of my childhood reads were about individuals or groups of children going off on thrilling adventures by themselves. There were no parents around, and hardly any adults (except the villains, of course). Sound familiar?
A few years ago, I began wondering why this was so. Why do adventures have to take place when children are alone? Why are things suddenly more boring when parents are around? Yes, it’s true in real life that sensible adults tend to make sure children stay out of dangerous situations, but is the story view that “adventure only happens when we’re not around authorities” the right attitude to have? And is there a way to write something different?
This is the point I spent a long time pondering. What if whole families could go on thrilling exploits together? What if parents weren’t an impediment to adventure, but rather the reason children get into it in the first place? Wouldn’t this be a far more exciting (and Biblical) premise than the one currently offered by stacks of literature out there?
I began to think so, and the Baker Family Adventures Series was born.
