Frequently Asked Questions
What inspired you to write children’s books?
My inspiration for writing children’s books comes from a desire to motivate my children to fall in love with reading. I pull the stories from things I see in their lives and I use the time spent creating these stories as an opportunity to teach them basic computer and AI skills. So…not only does This Dad Write, but the kids do too!
What age group are your books suitable for?
My books are primarily aimed at children aged 4 to 10 years. They are designed to engage young readers with relatable characters and exciting plots that encourage creativity and learning. Each story is crafted to be age-appropriate, ensuring that children can enjoy and understand the themes presented.
How can I purchase your books?
You can purchase my books directly from Amazon. Use the link from the menu at the top of the page.
Do you offer signed copies of your books?
Yes, I do offer signed copies of my books! You can request a signed copy through the contact form on my website, and I will be happy to personalize it for you or your child.
Are there any upcoming book releases or events?
Yes, I frequently update my readers about upcoming book releases and events through this site and social media channels. Be sure to follow @thisdadwrites on Instagram and Facebook and bookmark this site!
