Author & Poet

Justin could almost see her face as she held out her ivory hand beckoning him to come to her.  Who was this mysterious creature, and why was it always the same dream? It was the summer of Justin’s fifteenth birthday and his dreams were about to become reality.  Justin Willows was born with a very special gift.  He had a unique ability with his sketching and painting to capture nature, particularly the oceans, unlike anything the world had seen before.  He was about to embark on an adventure that would change his life and lead him on a crusade to protect the oceans and all of the mysteries they hold.

 A book of original children’s poems I am using as a fundraising project to support Kiwanis efforts to provide education and protection against AIDS for children in the Caribbean. The Caribbean has the second highest incidence of AIDS in the world, second behind Africa, and pregnant women are passing the virus onto their babies. According to AVERT, and international HIV and AIDS charity based in the UK that operates the world's most popular website for AIDS education and information, an estimated 230,000 people were living with HIV and AIDS in the Caribbean at the end of 2007. Some 17,000 people were newly infected furing 2007, and there were 11,000 deaths due to AIDS.   Five dollars from every book sold goes to a joint project between Kiwanis and Unicef to educate the people of the Caribbean about AIDS and also to provide antiretroviral treatment to expectant mothers. Their goal is to raise one million dollars over three years (2008/09/10) and make a difference for children so tragically affected by this pandemic.
