Really admire that you're donating all your profits in the first year to charity. What made you decide to do that and why that charity? (Sorry I forgot the name of the charity.)
Sophia L. Johnson
Hi MKJJ,
Thank you for the kind words. The charity I'm donating to is called Covenant House. It is the largest charity in the Americas dedicated to help homeless youth. They have shelters across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. You can find more information on their site www.covenanthouse.org.
I used to teach at a career college in downtown Toronto and there was a Covenant House shelter nearby. I saw many homeless kids needing care and guidance during the time. In my teaching I also encountered some under-privileged students who were trying their best to make something out of their lives despite the difficult circumstances they were in. I wanted to help and encourage them because as cliché as it sounds, they are the future of our society. They can do great things just like any other kids. They just need a little help along the way so they can get there. Hope I've answered your question and thank you for your support!

Hello Sophia. I don't know if you ever read this section but seeing that you have replied to a fan earlier so I'm going to try here. I LOVED your book Shadow of Deception and is dying for the second one. When do you think the second one will be available? Thanks Cadie
