That handsome young lad you see in the picture above is my friends son Antowaine. He is 8 years old going on 16. Yesterday I found him on the houseboat reading my book, Well at least he was reading the cartoons at the start of every chapter. He was so into it, I had to laugh. It made me wonder what differences my life would have made if I had learned some of the book lessons at a young age?
Oh, and now Antowaine (and my friends) want me to write a childrens book. Apparently they feel that because I'm so in touch with my inner child it would be a short leap for me to write for kids? Antowaine feels my cartoon hero should be based on him and as for the smart ass girl? He has a lot of candidates in his class who could qualify. Maybe....
"It's not my inner child I worry about losing contact with, it's my outer adult"
Terrific idea!!!
