An "accidental" prediction
Hubert in Heaven has an average 4.5 rating on Amazon. As the author of "Hubert in Heaven" I'd like to add some personal insights.
I actually wrote the story in 1995 - long before there were iPhones, tablets, hand held computers and the like. In fact I knew very little of video game technology. And now I feel Hubert's theme was a little prescient. I see now, after all these years, that it speaks to all of us who are too addicted to our hi-tech toys and there is definitely a "cure" for this very modern malady, if we just look within ourselves.
Although there is a hint of a religious quality about the story, it was written purely from a non-denominational aspect, for I wanted it to be enjoyable to all people of all ages and faiths. And although it has a Christmas theme, its a story that has a message that resonates all year long.
*If you get a chance, please listen to the audio version on Audible. Only 20 minutes but pure delight, enhanced with sound effects, original music and charming character actors.

Why Did I decide to make David's character deaf? I own a Singer crystal, shaped like a small sailboat, that inspired the Moon Singer trilogy’s first adventure, “The Crystal Clipper.” I found this unique crystal at a workshop (actually, it found me – which is what crystals are preordained to do). In pondering its energy, a story began to take shape. Young David Nickerson came by his own Singer because it was meant for him; he is the one true owner of the Singer which manifests into the Moon Singer ship and takes him on all of his adventures. David develops extraordinary powers in worlds he never knew existed, because of his deafness: this important aspect of his character allows me to demonstrate how David hears the inner cravings of his soul and finds his own strengths. Hearing people who meditate are always instructed to do so in a quiet, silent environment - "Be still, and know..." David learns how to use his natural silence, and so his "disability" becomes his greatest gift.
