It’s completed almost. Waiting now on one more short story from a military kid now an adult. In case you might think this book is all about the Stories of where they are now – yep!

As I send the content off for layout and a final proofing – I am a bit sad. Used to happen all the time when I published PC Teach it or PC Create it. We worked 6 issues a year and after each taken to the proof and layout, I often felt sad. Like a child getting ready to grow up and leave..NAH not this time – I am hopeful to have this book go to print and many wish to become advocates for children/youth and working to help youth of all ages – find their voices, strengthen their self esteem while have fun….
