Michael Lopez Reveals Multicultural Girl Power in New Children's Fantasy Adventure Book Author Michael Lopez grew up as an Air Force brat and later became an elementary school teacher. Now he taps in those experiences in the first of a planned series of books which puts girls as forefront heroes. Book one, filled with monsters, magic, and mayhem, is entitled Zoey Le Mar and the Veil of Fear. Michael drew from his many experiences growing up and teaching to come up with his characters and plot ideas. "Children say and do the most colorful of things," Michael said. "I take from what's right in front of me and transfer that genuine playful innocence into scenes that do them justice. It's comical, and at times, poignant. Such is life." Starting him on this journey, Michael recalled an experience from a college children's literature class that sparked this girl power idea. He was later reminded of that when his student's requested more contemporary reading material. "I was asked, 'Where are the smart girl characters? Where are the girls of color?' These students motivated me to write." The series will capture the trials and tribulations of the main characters in their friendships, family life, and a newfound responsibility. Humor is a staple component in the books, but a serious side does popped up unexpectedly, prompting a stop-and-think mentally before it's a learning-by-experience reality, sometimes perilously so. "Reality has a cruel mistress, so take detailed notes, and don't piss her off," Michael said in between laughs as he made an abridged quote. Since this interview, Michael has finished Book 2: Zoey Le Mar and the Wrath of the Anasazi (based on Danielle's Native American heritage) and Book 3: Zoey Le Mar and the Curse of the Nian (based on Lucy's Chinese heritage). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Lopez Pens Romance, Heartache, Life-Lessons, and Humor in an Exposed Raw Book of Literary Prose "These poems span my lifetime, from my teenage years until now. This venture has been cathartic, writing about the joys, the loves, the sadness, and the pain of my life. I have my muses who have truly inspired me, and continue to do so. I share some of my loves and losses. I expose some of my dark thoughts and times. I recall and offer life lessons, either by experiencing them or teaching them. Lastly, I end with some silliness and humor. I do hope you enjoy the journey." Michael has 2 books of poetry: A Prism of Poetry and A Pathway to Prose
