You may have noticed I published a new book, Goodwin’s Magic Shop. I did not initially plan to release it, as I wrote it for one of my grandsons, who had to spend a day in the hospital for testing. It turned out to be such a good story (in my opinion!) that I decided to expand the size and release it as a completed novel. While it was written for middle-grade and teens, adults should enjoy it as well. Within this fantasy world I have included some social commentary through the story and dialog, using Magic as a representation for power and control, and discussing how it can be a corrupting influence few can resist, without the aid of a higher power.
