Inspiration for Rosanna's children's books come from her family and friends. A mother of four adult children, four adult bonus kids and 15 grandchildren, she enjoys placing real life incidents and characters into her stories. A retired nurse practitioner, Rosanna, originally from the Canadian prairies now resides in southwestern Pennsylvania with her husband, John and their fur baby, Molly.I enjoy writing fiction and can think of no better main characters for my books than those I love. This book features my grandson, Sam. From a very early age he has been obsessed with dinosaurs and not just playing with them but researching them and learning about them from a scientific point of view. As you read the book you will get to know Sam as I have tried to capture his personality, dislikes and other traits that make Sam, Sam!...
