In case you are wondering who the heck Connor Hayden is, worry no more. I’m going to tell you. Right now. No, now. Right…okay, that got old fast. Connor is a really cool kid who lives down in Florida with his mom, dad, and sister. He is a pretty normal kid, except for one thing, he is eleven years old and…Connor Hayden is a published author.
Yup, that’s right. He is getting paid for stories that he has co-written and sells all over the world. Literally. Wanna know a little more about Connor? Here is, what just might be, his very first ever celebrity interview. And you read it here first.
1. You are writing this story with your dad; do you want to be a writer?
Yes, I am writing a book right now, by myself. It’s about a boy who got into a car accident when in his mothers stomach. The accident gave him a super brain. It’s called Miracle Child. Writing is fun. I’m thinking about writing another book after Miracle Child, but it won’t be a series.
2. What’s it like writing a story with your dad?
It’s fun. He teaches me about writing books. We laughed so hard coming up with the character names and story. Writing Steampunk is fun, too. We get to make crazy inventions.
3. What’s it like have a dad who is kind of a goof? (But a very nice one.)
Cool. We do all sorts of things together. One time we built a boat for boy scouts and now we do all sorts of martial arts things together. I’m in taekwondo and he’s in hapkido. I like to go with him so I can laugh. He makes me laugh all the time.
4. I hear you are pretty smart. What do you plan on as a career when you are older?
I want to be a chef or a teacher. I like to cook at home. I help mom and dad make dinner and mom is a really good cook. I want to have a family chili cook-off. I know my mom will win, but it would be fun. Being a teacher would be fun too. I like school and being a teacher would be awesome.
5. If you could go anywhere in the world, real or fantasy, where would it be?
Japan. To get all the latest Pokémon games that you can’t get in the US yet. I like Pokémon.
6. What is your favorite thing about yourself?
My sarcasm. I’m a lot like my parents that way.
7. Who do you really look up to or admire?
Mr. Bump, my teacher, and my parents. He teaches math and science at my school. He makes learning fun. My parents are great role models for me. I want to be like them when I grow up.
8. Tell us three things about you that nobody knows.
I drink coffee. I love coffee! I’ m drinking French vanilla iced coffee right now.
I like a girl in my class, but I’m not going to tell you her name.
I’ve eaten the hottest pepper in the world. I cried.
9. What’s your favorite food you could not live without?
Cows. I love beef. Steaks, burgers, hotdogs, even the byproducts.
10. Why do you keep letting your dad buy more ducks?
Cuz they’re cute and fuzzy when they’re babies. Then they grow up to be fat and mean. They only like my dad. Sometimes I’m sorry he got them.

Stolen from their home as babies, Dade and Paige have lived their entire lives doing whatever Professor Pelusian Minus wants of them. The twins are special, they are steamsmiths and have a special connection to the important parts of the professor’s steam carnival. Without them, the carnival would fall apart.
Dade and Paige, however, have other plans. They’ve had enough and are willing to do whatever it takes to escape and find a better life away from the carnival. If only they could come up with a plan.
The twins’ adventures will bring them up against sinister plots and great danger as they try to make Professor Pelusian Minus pay for kidnapping them and holding them as prisoners their whole lives.
