Something meaningful is taking shape behind the gates of Apollo’s Academy.

I’m pleased to share that the manuscript for Apollo’s Academy: The School of Brave Little Paws has officially been submitted to the publisher and is now in production.

What began as a simple tale from Barkington has grown into a world of lantern-lit halls, faithful companions, hidden mysteries, and the quiet belief that every life carries a noble purpose.

Through courage, kindness, loyalty, service, and faithful companionship, the students of Apollo’s Academy discover that even the smallest paws can leave lasting footprints upon the world.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged and supported these stories along the way.

The gates of Apollo’s Academy will open soon. Small paws. Brave hearts. Noble deeds.

A Time for Clarity, Not Confusion
I’m going to say this as simply as I can.
We are living in a very confusing time. It feels like everywhere we turn—news, politics, world events—there is more noise than truth.
Let’s start here: Donald Trump is not a perfect man.
None of our leaders are.
But he has shown something that matters right now—strength, courage, and a willingness to act when others hesitate.
And that is exactly why he is constantly attacked.
What troubles me most is not just disagreement—
it’s how quickly stories are twisted.
One image, one comment, and suddenly an entire narrative is created that doesn’t reflect reality.
That is not honest.
That is not helpful.
At the same time, I am deeply concerned about what we are seeing from global leaders.
When voices from the Vatican speak strongly on political matters…
When leaders like Giorgia Meloni take positions that seem to oppose decisive action…
…it raises real questions.
Where is the unity among allies?
Where is the urgency when real threats exist?
Why does it feel like some are quicker to criticize than to stand together?
These are not small issues.
These are serious matters that affect real lives.

This Is Bigger Than Politics
At its core, this isn’t just about governments or leaders.
It’s about right and wrong.
It’s about truth versus confusion.
And honestly, it feels like many people have stopped asking hard questions.
They accept what they hear without stepping back to think it through.
There is an old line often attributed to Joseph Addison:
“There is a line… the boundary between God’s mercy and His wrath.”
That line applies to all of us—individuals, leaders, and nations.
And when that line is ignored long enough, things begin to break down.
───────────────
A Simple Question
Are we seeking truth…
or just reacting to what we’re told?
Are we willing to look deeper…
or are we letting others think for us?
───────────────
Stand Firm
You can support a leader and still know they are human.
You can question what you hear and still care about the truth.
But what we cannot do is stay silent or confused.
I support Donald Trump.
I support strength and decisive leadership.
And I believe now more than ever, we need clarity, courage, and truth. Because without those, everything else begins to fall apart.

✨ I’m so grateful to share a special moment with you…
