Meleaha Howard asked A.R. Von:

Was Listen, just Once a hard one for you to write?

A.R. Von Excellent question, Meleaha!
Yes and no. The story was one that was real, a persons actual life. So it was--in some ways--easier to write than fiction. The root of the story itself made it difficult. To bring a persons story to life, to share it with others. THAT made is a bit difficult. It's almost as if I was living it over and over again as I was writing. I was just happy to get it out there. My main hope was (and still is) to open eyes and wake up some clouded minds so they look with eyes wide open and listen with their hearts. Children need to be listened to. No child should ever be ignored. No matter the case.
I plan to publish a full novel of the story within the next few years. It took me a few years to get Listen, Just Once out there. So it's definitely going to be a while before I get this one complete.
Thank you!
