In 1997, the year that fictional Vermont State Trooper Bruce Sutton dies in the line of duty, 175 actual U.S. and Canadian law enforcement officers died in the real world.
In the most recent year with data available (2019), four U.S. Law Enforcement Officers were killed in the line of duty while performing unspecified investigative activities. (Source: Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2019, U.S. Dept. of Justice / FBI annual report)
Teens are sometimes independent and adventure-prone. Willful, experimental, and thrill-seeking behavior are normal parts of growing up, but they can lead to risky or even damaging choices and activities.
ParentUpVT.org provides simple and direct advice for how to spot, prevent, and address potential problems. We all want our families to succeed, but we are not always equipped with all the tools, knowledge or temperament to make that easy... and a perfectly normal teenager can make that seem impossible on some days! That's okay, it feels impossible for the teenager, too. Children are our gift to the future, and ParentUp has some good advice for protecting and polishing that treasure.

Writing a story, and then a book , and then publishing, then turning it all into a brand of books which I had to learn to market... well, it's been a long and winding road. But there's been a lot of fun and adventure along the way, for the author-publisher as well as for readers! And I've gotten a lot of help, for which I am grateful.
