History

Fonseca began writing during his college years at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Masters of Science in Biomedical Engineering.[3][4] His first published work, The Time Cavern, was first released as a self-published title in June 2008. After winning a 2009 Indie Excellence finalist award,[5] Ridan Publishing released a second version of the book in October 2009.[6] In November 2011, the second book in the Aaron and Jake Time Travel Adventure - The Inverted Cavern - was released by Ridan Publishing.[7] The series is an inspired fusion of Fonseca's childhood experiences growing up near Amish communities in Northern Indiana and the natural curiosity he saw in his four boys.[8]
