About Me

.. ..
You might as well know right now that I have cerebral palsy. I get around using crutches and a wheelchair(manual). I am a writer. I have published a young/adult fantasy book called The Family Thing by Karl Shook which you can reach here.The Family ThingI have another book out thanks to the help and support of my Number 1 friend Christina Danielle, called The Legend of Reedville Lake. I write a newsletter about the University of Illinois football team. I am planning to use the blog entries here on myspace to talk about the team. Something I'm excited about getting back to is magazine writing. I have written quite a few articles about the British TV show Doctor Who, and now that the show is back on the air I want to do some interviews with people involved in the show once again. ..When I was in high school there was a poster that I believe gives an idea of how I think. I don't know who wrote this. If any body knows, please let me know. "Don't walk behind me. I may not lead. Don't walk in front I may not follow. Walk beside and just be my friend." You may have noticed my number one friend Christina Danielle. She is a very special person in my life. With her help I have been able to submit my second book for publication, and I am awaiting the results of the design team as my book is being prepared for publication. As I've said in my blogs God put it on Christina's heart to help me, and she worked to make it happen. When March began, I would have never dreamed of this happening!!! She also has given me a lot of encouragement in my writing. She once told me that I have it in me to write a number one seller. She made this layout of my page!!! I am a proud member of Team Christina! She is my friend, and I know that I can count on her. And she knows that she can count on me. She is the greatest!!!
