A Visit from a Unique and Innovation Author: Carl Gundestrup

13 yr. old Garrett Spencer has 1 good leg, no friends, never been to school and lives with his family in a cave. The family has moved to Shiloh’s Island, known for pirates, treasure caves and legendary sea monsters. Shortly after they arrive, Garrett rescues the legendary feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl from a hurricane and certain death.Together they must battle the bullies of the island – survive multiple attacks by Sea Dragons and find the treasure so they can save his father’s career and remain together.

“My situation is probably a bit different from other authors,” shared author Carl Gundestrup.”Quetzalcoatl is available in multiple formats, accompanied by a workbook… and my hero is a boy with one leg. In today’s world he would be considered special needs. (But Garrett would be very unhappy with that label.)”

“I have 37 yrs. Experience in award winning film, video and audio production,” added Carl. “My credits include “Touched by and Angel” “America’s Most Wanted” “Rags Kids Club” “Pepsi” “Ford” General Motors” “Smithsonian” “DOE” “DOT” etc.    Resume, Client list, Equipment list & samples of my work can be found on my website. I wanted to create a series that would truly entice children to read. 90% if my work has been in film & video. But I know from my own experience that nothing engages the entirety of the mind and imagination like audio. I wanted a series that would truly engage, educate & entertain children while old school values were being modeled and taught. My primary focus in the original episode Quetzalcoatl is to engage the imagination. Boys especially, struggle to visualize which is a vital component of reading. Audio this complex engages and develops critical Listening Skills – Visualization – Imagination & Mental Focus.  All of us have and will face the challenges in life that our Hero Garrett faces. The Tales of Davy Jones Series gives children kind of a preview and preparation for life and helps them to anticipate and prepare for what’s ahead.”

Testimonials

My kids get so excited when I tell them about your new books and projects you are working on. You have become such an inspiration to them. Orion has begun writing short stories all on his own. This is huge for a 10 year old with ADHD and Autism. Getting his thoughts from his head down on paper or computer is a HUGE step. You have helped with that, and I can never thank you enough for your example.-Angela Glunt

“If you loved the Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe you’ll love Quetzalcoatl”-Chris Dalley
