I'm not a big fiction reader, but I certainly appreciate the motivation to generate interest among family members when it was found that there was little "color" among David's ancestors. I think that combining the framework of existing ancestors with some fictional exploits must have been an enjoyable exercise. I really enjoyed this interview.

They are stories of a family and are appropriate for family members of all ages in that there is nothing graphic that children shouldn't read. However, they are written on a high school reading level and would probably not be understood by or interesting to young children. Teenagers and adults, though, enjoy them. Sean,
