I donated a copy of my novel, “Seekers”, to my high school’s library, intending to inspire other students’ who might be following me. My alma mater is Shawe Memorial High School located in Madison, Indiana USA. The donation led to a chat with the Director of the Prince of Peace School System of which Shawe High is now a part. He said they had initially placed my book in the trophy case where students would see it. This was a thrill for me, since the trophy case is an honored spot, usually reserved for basketball trophies. You need to understand the mindset: Hoosiers (people who live in Indiana) are crazy about high school basketball. The Director invited me to be interviewed for school system newsletter, “The Hilltopper”, which reaches several hundred families in Madison and nearby towns, in Indiana and Northern Kentucky. The interview was published in the August 2025 issue of with my photo on the cover.
