Box Set 1, Part 1: Egg [Egg and the Hameggattic Sisterhood]

The law of unintended consequences. Years ago, my son who was then in 6th grade, wrote a short story. I enjoyed it so much that I turned it into a novel. I then wrote a sequel at the request of the kids who read the original story.

In the sequel I named a character for a neighbor's 9 year old girl and said she was boy crazy. When her mother read the story to her she cried. She hated boys. I felt badly and asked what I might write about to make her smile. She said the girl, Eloise, liked to fly in her dreams.

The next day I began Flying Girl, the first book of what would eventually be a 12 book serial called Egg and the Hameggattic Sisterhood.
