The Grzedek's (The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs)

Greetings.

Hope you all have had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend thus far. I know I have. Especially since we all know that now is the time to get hectic with all of the Christmas decorating and gift wrapping. Among other things. Christmas is just around the corner.

And so is the completion of my first sci-fi compilation, the Crazy Chicken Escapade. I have two chapters left, so I am anxious to get those final chapters completely proofread and then finished! So, please stay tuned in the next couple weeks for an announcement on the website.

Tonight, I will talk about the Grzedek's from The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs and what their unique attributes are.

So....here we go! (I know, I say this all the time!)

Andrew David Michael Grzedek is the oldest of the five children. He is also the most athletic of the kids, since he plays tennis in high school; he also plays basketball, soccer, baseball, and is a runner. His main sport is tennis, though. Andrew also plays tennis in college and becomes close friends with Brody Ingram and Andrew McCalsky (Rockybado). Andrew Grzedek and Brody play tennis together in college, and Andrew often spends time playing video games on Friday nights with Brody and Andrew McCalsky. Andrew Grzedek really likes to read, and sci-fi is, of course, his favorite genre. He is a double-major in Marketing and Spanish and never switches his majors. Andrew was an RA for a semester of his sophomore year but quickly becomes overwhelmed and eventually steps down the next semester.

Caleb Andrew Grzedek is the complete opposite of his older brother, Andrew. Caleb is a musician; his main instrument is the alto saxophone, but he can play many other instruments. Caleb is a member of his high school band and choir, but he goes to a different high school than Andrew. However, Andrew and Caleb enroll at the same university. Caleb majors in Elementary Education and minors in Music and French. He and Andrew spend some time together in college, but he generally has his own group of friends that he hangs out with.

Adam Timothy Grzedek and Caleb are more similar, in terms of their looks and their interests. Adam and his twin brother, Cameron, go to the same college, but they go to school an hour northwest of Indianapolis. Adam is also a musician; he plays the tenor saxophone, guitar, and piano. Adam really likes to draw, so he is often found on the couch spending an hour, at least, drawing caricatures of people. Even though Adam is a musician like Caleb, he is not as involved in music as Caleb is.

Cameron Benjamin Grzedek is more like Andrew, in terms of his looks. However, Cameron plays guitar and piano. Cameron and Adam are relatively similar, but Adam is more musically involved than Cameron, who prefers bowling. Cameron and Adam go to the same college, but they choose not to be roommates because they want to meet new friends. However, even though this is the case, they end up in the same residence hall, but on different floors. Cameron, like Andrew, likes to play video games more than Caleb and Adam.

Alyssa Michelle Grzedek is the only girl of the five and is the youngest. She, like the other Grzedek's, plays the piano. However, like Andrew, she is not musically involved like Caleb, Adam, and Cameron. As a matter of fact, Andrew teaches Alyssa how to play tennis. Alyssa is also the only other Grzedek to attend the same school as Andrew. Alyssa is obsessed with cats and eventually gets a Calico cat for Christmas when she is ten years old. She names it Buttercup.

Ladies and gentlemen....the Grzedek's.

Next weekend, I will talk about the Cranston's. Then, I am going to talk about The Crazy Chicken Escapade. After that, I will discuss my later novels that I will start working on after finishing the sci-fi compilation. Afterwards, I will talk about Rockybado and his friends and enemies (Rockybado); Dacston and his friends and enemies (The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs); and Marty and his friends and enemies (The Magic Video Game). So please look for future blog posts!

Have a great remainder of this weekend!
