Fettinger and illustrated by Milana Samarskaya.  The stories focus on the adventures of a little girl, appropriately named Sophichkin, and her adventures with her daddy.  The Sophichkin series aims to help children (and adults) learn to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, recognizing all the little miracles that happen every day.

The Writing

Daniel S. Fettinger was born in Michigan. He stayed there for a number of years until he decided not to live there anymore. Now he lives in San Francisco, a town he finds quite to his liking. After studying English at Michigan State University, Daniel spent 25 years making computers go “beep boop beep” until finally deciding to pursue his first love.

These days Daniel writes stories for children like his daughter. He hopes other kids (large and small) will enjoy what he writes. In his spare time he is a tinkerer, a Reiki Master and a homework assistant, sometimes all at once.
