Of the 15 books I've written so far, STAND FOR SOMETHING is the most purchased book.
What has surprised me most isn’t the sales—it’s the response. With very little promotion since its release in October 2025, the book has already gathered thoughtful, substantive reviews from readers who care about helping teens build character in a corrosive culture.
This campaign exists for one purpose: to put this book into more hands—intentionally.
