Luckless Larry and the California Gold Rush (ePub)

Stephanie Munn-Tsukada is an elementary school teacher for the California public school system who is taking time off to raise her four wonderful children. She is an aspiring novelist and screenwriter, and she uses her children's naptime to write. Quite often, ideas for her stories come at unexpected times, as was the case with Luckless Larry and the California Gold Rush. One day, Stephanie's sweet husband asked her to participate in a research project he was conducting at Stanford University. The project involved the study of the brain and required that she undergo an MRI. Although she didn't relish the idea of being trapped in the tight space of the machine for forty-five minutes, she agreed—she wanted to be helpful and support science, and she was curious about what her brain looked like. This proved to be a stroke of luck. While she was lying flat on her back in the narrow tube, with the top just a few inches from her face, Stephanie fought off the uncomfortable claustrophobic feelings rapidly creeping up on her by squeezing her eyes shut and thinking about the gold rush activities she had planned for her fourth-graders to do the following day. She really enjoyed reading to her students and wished she had more literature to supplement their studies. She began thinking about writing an educational and entertaining story of her own, and suddenly the character Luckless Larry Wallbertson popped into her brain and took shape.
Stephanie loves to spend time reading and writing, but she is most passionate about her lovely family.
