My debut novel on the Syrian conflict launched on 29 February! It highlights the human toll the Syrian conflict has had on Syrian civilians since 2011, particularly the children. My publisher, Pandamoon Publishing, and I are donating a percentage of the profit to Save the Children’s Syrian Children’s Fund. Please help us make a difference today!

Hi Todd,
Pardon me for bothering you but I saw you were one of the highest-rated books on Amazon by Pandamoon Publishing — would you recommend them?
They’ve expressed an interest in my manuscript but I wondered if they were useful to you or wanted you buy any services from them or anything odd like that?
Thank you SO MUCH for taking time to read this — and congrats on your book!
Have a great day,
Katherine Cerulean

Hi Ketherine. Pandamoon is a tight-knit community of dedicated writers, publishers, editors, and marketing specialists. They really care about the craft, their writers and employees and changing the industry for the better. Zara Kramer is a knowledgeable and dedicated professional with a heart of gold. They are a small and independent group, unlike the corporate publishers, but they offer an intimate publishing experience with a fantastic supportive group behind you. If you have the chance to get in the group – that means Zara likes you and your work and she is a pretty good judge at both. They don’t charge anything. They are a legit publisher that I have been very happy with.
Hope that helps! I will look for your name in our future meetings! Congrats on getting your work recognized! It’s a fun process to see your work take shape and hit the world! Best of luck to you!
Todd
Thank you so much for your great response!
Just finished Looking into the Sun. What a great book. I am truly impressed, Naval Aviator, author and great karaoke singer. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the next book. Let me know when it’s published.
Thanks Nick! You’re a fine American as well…Frogman extraordinaire…and brother with Ike…both not easy endeavors… 🙂 Working on drafts of the screenplay for Sleeperwave Films who recently acquired the film rights and optioned my screenplay based on the book! Thanks for the nice words! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read the book and comment for me. Put in an Amazon review if you have a few minutes… Thanks Nick!
Hey Todd, what our your thoughts of Patrick Swayze as a singer?
Never heard him sing…so, I’m a bit unqualified to answer that one…and what I think about the late Mr. Swayze’s singing voice isn’t really relevant…but thanks for the random comment… 🙂
Hi Todd,
My name is Eric Ferguson. So that would make me Bonnie’s 1st cousin.
Congrats on the book and I hope to meet you someday. GO NAVY!!!
Sincerely,
Eric Ferguson
Thanks Eric! Hope to meet you one day!
Hey Todd
Just done reading your novel. I am researching on Syrian Literature and for that I read your novel as first. It is so captivating , authentic and realistic. I have all my appreciations for you, giving us firsthand information regarding war and violence in such a humanly way.
