John has collaborated with Felix on his published books, “Horace the Great”, “Wobbly Bags a Theif”, “Guitar Cowbow”, and “The Three Little Godfathers” reading his stories and translating that into illustrations. He has also done all the cover illustrations to all the rest of Felix’s children’s stories. John is a Simpson’s animator and has also worked for Disney and Steven Spielberg. Their collaboration has been a delight and one born out of mutual respect for each others work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6520e2b9286ed573ac030dfa/b6e55ba5-5ec4-4713-b7d9-7b189fcbcf10/0+copy.jpg CHILDREN'S BOOKS - FELIX THE STORYTELLER A career birthed out of a passion for storytelling and retirement from the Palmdale School District, Felix Mayerhofer had worked with children from Elementary age to High School teenagers for over 25 years teaching and band directing. Felix didn’t want to just sit around in retirement, he wanted to be creative and this led him to writing over 30 children’s books! Some are tales inspired by his own childhood and some inspired by his past experience and a band director at the school. With the support and love of his beloved wife Shirley and now his son David helping him, he has been able to self publish these books.

It was there he encountered drugs, drinking, and women while traveling on the road. After a couple of years in an air force band during the Korean War (an activated air national guard unit), it was back on the road with more jazz groups, then finally working the showrooms of Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno. Felix married Shirley Wagner (Wagonseller), a beautiful dancer at Harrah’s Club in Lake Tahoe where his life began to return to normal. During the previous 14-year period, he managed to receive a degree in music education, where a part of his time at college had the semblance of a scene from a Dostoevsky novel. His long tour in the South before the 1950s was an eye opener for a young boy including problems with a sheriff in Macon County, Georgia, who had a disdain for New Yorker’s, and scary run-ins with corrupt policemen in New Orleans, raising his awareness that the situation in that part of the country was even more devastating for black people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6520e2b9286ed573ac030dfa/5883e10b-75ba-41f1-8de8-597e3e4f99c7/%231+Book+cover-Diary+of+a+Young+Musician+copy+2.jpg Diary Of A Young Musician - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.felixmayerhofer.com/about-om daily 0.75 2023-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6520e2b9286ed573ac030dfa/7b71d81e-bb51-406b-b4ce-a42b66cb701b/Felix+at+home.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6520e2b9286ed573ac030dfa/15507353-fc41-4ab6-b537-40548b22bfcd/I%27m+narrating+my+38+stories.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.felixmayerhofer.com/contact-om daily 0.75 2023-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6520e2b9286ed573ac030dfa/81381781-d760-43ff-8158-367458af7ef2/Another+picture+of+Felix.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.felixmayerhofer.com/store daily 0.75 2023-10-19
