My name is Carter Patterson and I’m 11 years old and started writing books at 7 years old. I love playing College Football 25 and Roblox. I also promote child literacy by attending local elementary schools and youth programs to read my books to kids. I’m in the works of making my fourth book in March and my third book is completed and will be released in 2026.
We all remember that childhood phase of eschewing bath time. But what happens when our own kids decide dirt is a badge of honour? This playful book meets little ones in the muck and mire of their no-wash zone, taking parents along on the messy ride.
Infused with humour about a universal childhood ritual, Washing Woes breaks the cleanliness standoff gently. It highlights, through chuckles not chiding, the very grown-up importance of washing up. No heavy-handed lecturing here! Instead, this book meets children where they are while bringing parents laughter and wisdom.
In this family jungle adventure, meet Andre, an alligator who strives to be the best and craves competition, but in the process, has isolated all of his friends.

Through this experience, Andre realizes the error of his ways and discovers that life is much happier with friends by his side!
I love experiencing different cultures, meeting new people, trying different foods, and having meaningful conversations. I love living life! I have visited 47 countries and over 35 U.S. states, and my love of travel drives my passion for writing.
The Golden Rule of Travel: Travel often, journey far, and take nothing but memories, souvenirs,
and photos.
Travel should be a delightful adventure, not a dreadful headache. I have traveled to over forty-five countries and I am willing to travel pretty much anywhere at least once. I have heard many horrific travel stories through the years and believe there is no such thing as a bad vacation, just inadequate planning.
I’m a proud first-time mom and thrilled to debut my first children’s book, Island Dreams on New Land: Isabela’s Journey. As a proud Latina, I cherish the vibrant cultures of both my Puerto Rican and Dominican roots.
