Dear John,As a new writer, I believe you may be interested in the book I recently completed. It\’s about a mermaid princess pirate captain, far from the typical \”girl book\” or \”boy book.\” If you\’re interested, please contact me at kylebswartz@gmail.com. Thanks again for the great article and I look forward to hearing from you soon.Sincerely,Kyle Swartz

I\’ve never had a school visit where they asked me what the sex of my characters was. I have both boy and girl characters so maybe they knew that. I don\’t think I\’d participate in a visit that wanted only half the class to be there.
