Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
A 30 year teaching and administrative career within both private and state universities--and as an observant and concerned 20 year retiree--forced me to conclude me that there are many (TOO many) floundering, flustrated though promising young people spinning and groping for answers as "they get ready to get ready".
