James C. Wallace II

I am a father of 5 children and 12 grandchildren and happily married to my wife for 25 years and counting. My background covers nearly 25 years in children’s education, curriculum development and implementation, including experience working for the world’s largest children’s museum; The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. I have written and produced 8 planetarium programs, all of which were aimed at the 8-12 year old market. I am recognized by both NASA and the NSF as a leading developer of web-based educational games and curriculum. In addition, I am involved in the DiscoverHover program, which is an educational program developing and utilizing hovercraft in a unique and fun way. Although MAGICIAN OF OZ is my first novel, my writing experience also includes newsprint, radio and television copy, curriculum development and numerous journal publications in the science and education field
