In light of his recent '2011 New York Times Best-Seller' top 10 listing with author Jennifer Fosberry of My Name is Not Isabella (#9) & My Name is Not Alexander (#10), it was a easy decision.

We're looking to have the characters developed by May 25th, 2011 (30 days) and the 48 page book with CD completed by July 22nd, 2011. If all goes according to plan, we'll be traveling to NC within the next 3 months to interview Mike for the documentary.
