What is the backstory behind your work, and what inspired you to write it?
November 14,1996, is when the FIRST idea of Fuego dropped into my heart in "seed form" during a Sunday night service at Calvary Cathedral International. My husband and I had been serving in Children’s Ministry for about 5 years at this time; 2 years in the infant room and 3 years teaching preschool aged children. Our church had been experiencing major revivals which started in 1993. One of the staff ministers at Calvary Cathedral International had just returned from preaching in Mexico, where “Revival” broke out during his ministry time there. He was sharing details of the meeting at our church on that Sunday night, of how the people in Mexico were shouting, “Fuego” as the power of God would touch them. I saw in my mind “Fuego” as a character that looked like a flame, for a kids’ book. I thought it would only be one book, not a whole series.
As I researched libraries and what books were out there for children, I realized there was a big need for more books that would teach boys and girls to know God is real, to know the love of a Heavenly Father, and to know God has a plan for their lives.
