Development Pitch
A young boy is helped by an unfeeling time traveler. The TT experiences an emotional response for the first time in his life. He returns 20 years later to help the boy who is now a police detective solve cases and save the world with his great X5 granddaughter and his pal Snowflake the magic owl. The TT came from a world with an exaggerated sense of humor and injects it into every situation he can for him and his owl's enjoyment. His GD is introduced half-way into the story and is eventually adopted by the detective. The group save the world from an egomaniac presidential candidate and move on to adventures in a series of 5 more (completed) books. If the book is picked up I want nothing to do with the development process. I bow to your expertise. I have 2 other books in the series on Taleflick. (c)
