“Make Retaliation Into A Movie” – Ka’Ron from Amityville says.
Hello everyone. Much love to Ka’Ron in Amityville!!!
You know I love the young people who read my books. So, I wanted to let you know that Ka’Ron,15, from Amityville, NY just sent me an email. Here it is:
“I’m writing you to tell you how great your book Retaliation was. That was the best bok I ever read in my life. I think you should make a movie about Retaliation. I really like your book and you’re a great author.”
So many people have suggested that Retaliation become a movie. So, I’m just gonna say, “Keep sending that up and I know it’ll happen.”
Young people keep emailing me and telling me how much you like Retaliation. You are an important part of the movement. Investors: You want to be a part of that Retaliation train, so pick up the phone!
