Why did I decide to include sci-fi elements into my current project?

My six-year-old son provided the inspiration for my latest project when he created two very engaging characters.  He wrote several stories about them, and even self-published a children's book about their exploits. 

I felt there was more to be told about these characters and wanted to explore their adventures together with an older audience.  You can find out more about the book that inspired my current project at www.fieryfencer.com.
