Aww, thanks, Sharron. They’re sweet kiddos, haha.

Once the school year starts it doesn’t let up! I even got roped into coaching both of their soccer teams... 🤦‍♂️ But it’s okay. One day I’ll look back at everything and wish I could do it all over again.

I appreciate you. Thanks for being so kind!

Awesomeness all-around, Justin.

Thrilled to be a part of your self-publishing journey and excited to hold a copy of the finished work! When you know the approximate width of the spine, let me know so i can make sufficient space on my bookshelf. 🙂

Congrats on the upcoming book. Lately, my reading preferences have been for shorter stories and this is perfect. I'll be sure to check it out once it's available.

Thank you, Patricia! I’m excited to hear it! I’ll try to not pester everyone with release date announcements and things of that nature, but it will definitely be out there floating around somewhere. I really appreciate it!

It's so good to see the many ways you are getting your writing out there, Justin. You are so talented and it has been my privilege over the years to have the opportunity to read your works in progress and after completion. Thank you for acknowledging my part in the process. I am always excited when you send me something you've written. I also love the pictures of your beautiful children! Looking forward to when your new book is published, and I will answer your recent email soon!!

Hey Jason! Love the pictures from your summer adventures. Congrats on the book!

I’d love to talk to your creative writing group however that might work. 😁

Thank you so much! Sounds great. I’m still figuring out what it might look like exactly (either a student-generated series of interview questions or some type of live Zoom call), but I will add you to my list! 😃
