Self Published Author
A.A. Roberts

A.A. Roberts A. A. Roberts is an author, an award-winning playwright, and a screenwriter. Though Bobo World is his first completed novel, Anthony has written many plays, short stories, poems, and children stories.
Growing up, I was always fascinated with great stories. I remember the power that stories such as Charlotte's Web, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Ricki Ticki Tavi had over me as a child. They took me to new places, and made me care deeply about characters and things on a level so deep; it was as if they were speaking directly to my soul. Each story masterfully dealt with themes every human experiences at some point in time. Life; Death; Sacrifice; Friendship; Loneliness; Fear; and more. I thought it was simply magical to create a world of fictional characters and watch as their lives and their struggles became so real you actually felt their triumphs, and experienced their pains. I grew up wanting to create those kinds of experiences told from an African American perspective. And that is what inspired me to become a writer.
As for my reasons for writing Bobo World, I wanted to write a story that brought black children into the realm of fantasy. I realized it was a genre in which their presence was sorely lacking. Also, I noticed that most books aimed at the middle grade fiction market neglected to take a look at the romantic relationships that children have. I know many adults chalk it up to "puppy love", but what they don't understand is that everything being relative, "puppy love" is just as confusing, unpredictable, and intense as adult love could ever be. I thought a story such as Bobo World would serve as a wonderful venue to acknowledge this. And my final reason for writing this story is that I wanted to create a nostalgic piece that anyone who was ever a child could relate to.
