I wrote Dargo as a way of dealing with my despair about the state of the world. Sick of all the doom and gloom, I created a humorous story. Dargo is primarily an adult fairy tale and is a tribute to all those who work so hard to make the world a better place - for you, I wanted to offer some respite, some laughter and cheer.
The story is based on my personal experiences and relationships. The Spirits I know personally. I wanted to introduce them to you in case you’ve not met them beforehand. You can introduce them to your children too (with care)—a fun way to teach them about nature. For more stories in this vein, see my ‘Treasury of Feel Good Stories' series.
Yay, Renaissance Women! Ladies, seeing as we weren't allowed to participate last time, let's get into big-time now! My official training is disease ecologist, but I am also a musician, illustrator, writer, and theatre producer. Intelligent fiction designed to inspire and entertain; novels and novellas that I describe as spirit-lifting. My fiction is character-rich and has been described as richly realized and deeply evocative. I do strive for this! I also create non-fiction and teach so as to help others discover their creative selves. I am an ardent conservationist and am working to create new habitat for wildlife. Character research is a favorite pastime - that's a real bone he's chewing on!

Dargo, Eco Hero! by Karina McRoberts tells the fascinating story of Dargo, who works at Fischer and Co. Express Marketing Solutions and Event Management. Dargo is a delightful young man who some may consider a bit of a weird, geeky type of guy. Jake is the office hottie and they all report to the Superior Being, Mortimer Fischer. Mortimer puts Dargo on unpaid leave due to a lack of productivity. On his way home, Dargo is swept up in an unusual windstorm and lands at Jollypark, an amusement park he used to visit as a child but it is now abandoned. At the park, Dargo meets Flame, a nature spirit; Terran, a rock giant and spirit of the land; Vivian, the water spirit and Mariah, the spirit of the wind. With help from his previous colleague, Lucinda, Dargo has to find a way to save all of them – and all of us.
Dargo, Eco Hero! is by far one of the best and most unique books I have ever read, with a vitally important message. Karina McRoberts uses humor to address a serious subject – taking care of our planet, the environment, and the ecological system that we all rely on for survival. This poignant story is filled with fascinating characters, places, and events – all enhanced with beautiful pictures. I particularly enjoyed the way old and new songs and films are incorporated into the dialogue to enrich the characters. The smooth flow allows for quick reading which makes it perfect for parents to read to their children. Overall Dargo, Eco Hero! is a thoroughly enjoyable story that is highly recommended for young and old.
