“My goal in writing this book was to spur the imagination of young readers,” says Eddie. “Boys especially. I wanted to create within them a desire to read and set sail for a life of adventure on the high seas.” Note: Eddie sails and surfs and sometimes works.
“I also want to help kids (and adults) who suffer with epilepsy. That’s why I created a “Heroes Among Us” page in honor of Ricky Bradshaw, the hero of the book. Ricky suffers from epilepsy. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the Epilepsy Foundation. For each book sold, the publisher will donate a few pieces of eight - half a sandy dollar – to Ricky’s Hero fund.”
Eddie says, regardless of how well the book sells, if it helps others become “Seizure Smart!” and raises money to fight epilepsy, then it’s a success.
You can help by visiting the book’s Amazon page, read the free sample (on the right side of the page) and write a review. Or give a copy to a young reader. NO KINDLE REQUIRED. Readers young and old can install the Kindle app FOR FREE on their smart phone, PC or Mac. The total investment for this high seas adventure is only $2.99!
