My name is Muriel Fitzpatrick and I am the author of I Am Nuclear Fusion. I am a retired school teacher, regular and special education, and was certified as a Multi-sensory Reading instructor in the Orton Gillingham method. I wanted to write why I wrote this story. I think because I am Rita. I have no special skills and I am definitely not the best at anything I do but I have a zest for trying new things. I knew when I wrote this book it would not be winning any awards but I felt if I could help just one child or one student to see one way a story might grow it would be worth it. I also wanted to be an example to my children and grandchildren that no matter what age you are you can still try to achieve your dreams. Maybe this book will connect with your child or student? I hope so. In the meanwhile, I am not giving up on my dreams. I am looking forward to my second book coming out soon “An Extra Dose of Love!” I encourage you all to not be afraid and reach for your dreams. So what if you fail…because You Are Nuclear Fusion!
