I'd like to extend my warmest congratulations on the release of your new book, "The Boy With Strange Eyes"! It's thrilling to see this captivating YA fantasy novel hit the shelves, especially after its impressive win in the Fall 2023 Kindle Vella Writers Tournament.
I'm particularly drawn to the premise of a young orphan named Kuni, who dreams of becoming a warrior despite the odds against him. How did you come up with this idea, and what inspired you to create Kuni's character?
I'm also curious about the themes and messages in your story. The readers' comments suggest that the book is not only an exciting adventure but also a thought-provoking exploration of relationships, self-discovery, and personal growth.
What do you hope readers will take away from "The Boy With Strange Eyes", and what's next for you in terms of writing projects?
I wish you all the best with your book and look forward to hearing more about your future projects!
Thank you for your kind words, Lisa. TBWSE was initially written with at-risk youths as the primary target group. It was to be used as a tool for discussions about life. However, home-schooling parents and adult readers showed me this story appealed to a broader audience. 100% of all earnings from this story are donated to a 501 (C)-(3) charity that works directly with ex-felons to develop entrepreneurial training and projects. Our goal is to eliminate recidivism and seek redemption and second chances! ~ Doctor D

I'd love to help spread the word about your book and its meaningful purpose. Would you be open to discussing some promotional ideas and strategies to reach a wider audience?
