About the Book

This book is meant for ages 9-12. Growing up on a small farm in the state of Kansas, a young boy dreams of building a snow-capped mountain next to his farm, the kind of magical mountain most kids would love to have outside their back door. A mountain with 15,000 foot snow-covered peaks shrouded in clouds, rushing streams filled with trout and dense forests with trees over 100-feet tall. It's a place where remote canyons are the home to elk, black bear and even beavers, where bald eagles soar next to thousand-foot waterfalls and over beautiful high country lakes. Billy has a dream, but building a mountain is an almost impossible task. Billy will need help. How can he let everyone know about his dream? Can they see what he sees? Can they help him achieve the impossible? Beyond the simple story line, "Billy's Mountain" is a metaphor about impossible dreams, the vision to see what others cannot see, and the leadership needed to achieve what is thought to be impossible.

Before writing children's books, Steve Richardson had a successful career in scenic, architectural and portrait photography, published hundreds of times in national calendars, on post-cards and in numerous magazines. Steve has also published three scenic calendars through his own business Richardson Photo/Graphics including "Moods of the Grand Canyon 1995," "San Juan Mountains, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado 1998" and "Grand Junction, Colorado 1998." In 1998 he also produced a limited addition note-card set for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe's 400th anniversary featuring 12 of New Mexico's scenic missions and churches. The set includes an introduction by the Rev. Michael J. Sheehan, Archbishop of Santa Fe. Steve has frequently been published by: "New Mexico Magazine," Santa Fe, New Mexico; Smith-Southwestern Calendar Company, Tempe, Arizona; and Gold Leaf Publishing Company in Richfield, Utah. Steve has had a total of 18 images of Southwestern Missions published in the Catholic Extensions "Missions USA Calendar" for the years 2001 and 2002.

In his early 30's after the loss of several family members, Steve turned to writing to help him express the intense spiritual emotions experienced during this dark time in his life. Currently, he is the author of four books. His picture book "Billy's Mountain" was published in 2006 and two chapter books: "Alexander Trout's Amazing Adventure" and "The Adventure of Lavender Blue," are both in the process of being illustrated and published. Steve's ultimate goal through writing is to have a positive impact on those who suffer mentally and physically.
