About the Author
As a child, I was always fascinated by dinosaurs. Whenever I went to the library, I checked out dinosaur books. I also enjoyed sci-fi cartoons and movies. With this story, I wanted to show dinosaurs in a different way. I wanted to tell the story mixing the prehistoric world with the sci-fi world.
