Parents, have your boys discovered Sean Yeager Adventures yet?

Does your child complain that reading is boring? Do they complain about stories that are slow or where nothing happens? Have they finished their favourite series and run out of books?

How about something decidedly different to read?

 

 

 

We asked young readers, and boys in particular, what they wanted to read about. They told us they wanted stories with:

• Lots of gizmos
• Cool machines
• Fast-paced action
• Fun
• Mysteries and surprises
• Stories where things really happen
• Big battles
• A side to root for
• And bad guys

And so, some years later, Sean Yeager Adventures was born. Then it grew legs and became a series.

Action-packed, fun-filled and age appropriate from 8 years upwards. With Sean Yeager Adventures we managed to shoe-horn more ideas into a children’s book series than most action movies.

Why not check out a free sample ebook on Amazon and see what your son, grandson or nephew thinks?

Sean Yeager Adventures – because we love writing what young readers want to read.

Farewell to Chuck Yeager, a real-life hero

 

Sadly, Charles Elwood Yeager passed on 7 Dec 2020, aged 97. Our condolences to his family and friends.

As a youngster, I clearly remember reading about Chuck Yeager’s historical achievements as a test pilot and as the first person to fly faster than sound – in a Bell X-1 dropped from a B-29 Superfortress like a manned firework on wings. What I did not realise, and later found out, was that Chuck Yeager was also a World War 2 fighter pilot ‘ace’ flying a P-51 Mustang, and became an ‘ace in a day’. Considered one of the all-time best pilots, Chuck Yeager went on to take on several commands, including flying in the Vietnam and Korean wars, and was in time promoted to Brigadier-General. It is said that in all Chuck Yeager flew 360 types of aircraft including some of my personal favourites – the P-51 Mustang, the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-4 Phantom. (Though notably not the F-104 Starfighter (nick-named the widowmaker) which almost killed him).

It may come as little surprise that the Sean Yeager Adventures book series was in part so-named (in 2012) as a tribute to Chuck Yeager, a real-life hero. The idea of the Sean Yeager book series being to attract young readers – in particular boys aged 8 to 14 – to read more often, by offering action-packed stories about high-tech, fast-paced escapades.

Rest in peace Brigadier-General Yeager, you will be long remembered.
