Q. What inspired you to start writing?
A. What inspired me to start writing the book I wrote: Piggy, You’re Not a Duck, was the amount of nonsensical garbage that I had seen on social media forcing young kids into the liberal, transgender agenda. I researched and found so many more books that discussed the positives of kids transitioning that I believed there needed to be more books talking about the common-sense side of the question.
Q. How long have you been writing?
A. I actually started writing a novel in 1999 that which I have never finished, and this children’s book is actually only my 2nd attempt.
Q. How did you develop your plot and characters?
A. I found this to be a very interesting question. I was so angered by all the stories of teachers, and other adults, forcing their transgender liberal agenda on young children that I literally came up with the characters, and the entire story sitting having lunch one day. I went home, opened my computer at 1 pm and the words, characters, and story all came out 3 hours and 15 minutes later.
Q. What came first the plot or the characters?
A. Piggy was the first item that came to mind…The the character.
Q. What does success mean to you?
A. With regards to this children’s book: Piggy, You’re Not a Duck,…I’ve already told people that I am judging my success not on the amount of books I sell, but how many people “on the left” I offend and trigger.
Q. How do you research for you book?
A. I did google Google ‘How to write a children’s book’ and tried to apply all that I learned from that. As stated before, I researched how many stories discussed the transgender idea to children and realized there were so many more nonsensical stories out there and more needed to be written regarding the common-sense side (negative side of transitioning.)
Q. What is the key theme or message in the book?
A. The book is definitely a political message set in a children’s book. Children should not understand the political aspect of the book, but parents will. This book is completely intended for politically conservative parents as there are symbols that represent conservativism splashed throughout (the farmer is wearing a MAGA hat, there are bumper stickers on the truck: Make America Great Again, National Rifle Association, Don’t Tread on Me and there is a flag that represents 2 genders ONLY!). The underlying story is a metaphor against the idea for kids to transition into another gender at a young age and the inherent dangers associated with that change.
Q. Tell us the process for coming up with the cover?
A. The cover was entirely the work of my illustrator-he had carte blanche on that.
Q. What was the highlight of writing this book?
A. To be able to get the message out!
Q. How do you deal with poor reviews?
A. Considering I will get poor reviews from the liberal side, I actually consider that a success.
Come along and join the adventure of Piggy as he gets adopted by a loving family and begins his life on a wonderful farm. Follow as Piggy befriends two of the farm animals and makes them his best friends: Stu, the rabbit and a duckling named Bobby. During his meeting with Bobby’s family, and in order to be accepted by the family of ducks, Piggy is then forced into transitioning into another animal, a duck. Over the next couple of days, Piggy encounters a series of mishaps while living life as a duck that becomewhich becomes more and more dangerous. Whereby, Piggy learns a valuable lesson during this time and realizes it’s better to be the animal he was born as and was always meant to be.
Piggy, You’re Not a Duck is a story intended for the common-sense minded, conservative parent to teach their child in the reality and principles that the world exists with only two genders: Male and female and nothing in-between. It also teaches the inherent dangers that come along with child grooming and transitioning a child at such a young age. As well, the story instills positive moral messages and traditional family values that can be shared between parent and child for years to come.
