But most of all, I want them (the kids) to grow up free ... the same for my grandkids (of which I have one now).
I wrote the book to try and send a message regarding what it takes to retain that freedom, a message that will continue throughout the series. I wanted to do it in a fictional environment where the reader could also get some entertainment and engrossment out of the message.
We'll see. Thanks for the BUMP and the well wishes. I hope the same for you and yours.
