Imagine Percy Jackson and the Olympians, except with a fresher cast of characters and an entirely sport-infused narrative, and you’ve got Ring Force. Just in time for the Olympics in London, Ring Force is poised to be the illustrated chapter book of the summer and an instant favorite for kids between 8 and 12 years old.In the book, which is complete with more than 50 full-color, eye-catching illustrations, we meet Booker—a young boy from Brooklyn with an incredible talent for running. As the chapters unfold, Booker crosses paths with other super-athletic (almost super-human) kids, and they ultimately join together asa team. But not just any team. These kids have been recruited by the gods of Olympus to fight an evil, rogue god and to keep the Olympic flame (and all that it stands for) burning in the hearts of men.For any kid who has ever dreamed of making it as an athlete (or for any kid who simply likes a good adventure story),

I thought of this story while playing a popular app for iPhones and Android phones called Dots. For me, the game quickly became addictive. I found myself playing “a couple games” before bed, only to finally go to sleep hours later. After only a handful of days I deleted the app from my phone and I don’t trust myself to go near it again.I wonder about hell. Does it exist? What is it like? What does the devil look like? How creative is he?What would happen if you went to hell and the devil gave you a chance to escape? The tendency is to suspect the devil will cheat, but what if the chance is straight up? No tricks. Do a task and you go to heaven. Not that the task will be easy.If you’ve ever spent too much time playing a video game, whether on your phone, your computer, or your TV, you will probably relate to this story. If you know someone with signs of O.C.D., I hope you will see them in the main character.I would love to hear what you think about the story. Thank you for checking it out and for your support.-Brian
