Forgive me if its been asked.. is this the first in the series? [/qb]

It's in all the bookstores in JA and a few here so far. And online too, as we've been saying. Yup, this is the first in a series. Next one should be ready by next summer.

It's crazy but the...ah "mainstream" schools are really feeling Little Lion, while I've had some private Jamaican schools here in NYC give me static because the hero is a Rasta.

That's awesome. That's probably why I love to write. My mom used to read to me every night. Fell in love with books pretty early on.

This might be really corny, but I loved Pollyanna!! Loved the idea that you can choose to see the world positively no matter what situation you're in.
