CARLSBAD, Calif. -- About:

A sacred crystal conjures a mystical ship, a girl’s angelic song, and the mother he thought was lost. He is just a boy who cannot hear, but his music creates miracles for everyone he loves.

"The Secrets of the Moon Singer" trilogy has been a labor of love and dedication. Years in the making, an eternity for a writer. The hero of my stories is a young deaf boy - David Nickerson - who develops extraordinary powers of “hearing” through his affinity for crystal power and music, and a yearning to resolve his anguish over the death of his mother. A novice at spiritual quests, he inadvertently conjures the mystical clipper ship Moon Singer that transcends this world and transports him to other dimensions of time and space. There, he encounters people whose lives intertwine with his through many lifetimes - including a young Princess imprisoned in a Palace Tower, whose song has the power of healing, and was the first sound David heard after years of living in a silent world.

In these other worlds David finds he can hear clearly, while at home he is just as deaf as before. What he hears compels David to leave home three times on an urgent quest to save a life that means more to him than his own: first to rescue his sister who has mysteriously disappeared; then to make contact with his mother and learn why she had to die; and then to thwart a malevolent Millennium plot that could destroy the entire world because of a madman’s destructive musical compositions. But David is a reluctant hero who feels he accidentally creates miracles without knowing how or why. With the help of the young girl who has the power of immortality in her song, and the musical synergy of three sacred artifacts, David learns how to use his natural silence to complete his missions. Thus, his disability becomes his greatest gift.

But was he chosen - or did he choose - this life-altering role as Captain of the Moon Singer? The answer lies in the great ship’s mysterious power to guide him on Karmic journeys through a personal and spiritual evolution to his ultimate and unexpected fate.From the outset, I knew there had to be three books, three adventures. For this campaign, I'll begin with Adventure One, “The Crystal Clipper,” the fairy tale, for that is how we all begin to process and resolve our life’s problems. We invent fanciful situations, envision our problems and enemies as “monsters,” and see ourselves as heroes who save the day and those we love. If I am successful, I will then be able to illustrate the other two stories (“The War Chamber" and “The Wind Rose.)”

I've always felt these stories were meant for film, they are so visual in concept. But having the stories illustrated in book form would also bring their meaning to life, and allow readers to add their own imaginative interpretations. I hope you will watch the simple slideshow video I made and will feel the emotion through the words, pictures and original song - so much so, that you would feel inspired to support me in bringing my stories to the children of the world. I invite talented artists to offer their ideas for illustrations in keeping with the mystical theme. If chosen, the art would be included in my books and artists given full credit as illustrators. I am especially interested in reaching out to children of the deaf community to participate, to enjoy, and to feel empowered by David Nickerson’s heroic adventures.
