Time Text
And I want you to get prepped.
We don't know what's coming.
Who knows?
But regardless whether it's a hurricane, national disaster, or the whole government shuts down, they have awesome deals on freeze-dried food.
In fact, they have a new item.
It's freeze-dried cans.
It's a lot less expensive than the big barrels.
Go there.
Heavensharvest.com.
promo code "Kanis" and check them out.
Hey everybody, welcome to Jesus, Skins, and Babies.
I'm your host, Dr.
Candice Taylor, and I have a great show for you today.
I'm going to start with a scripture, Galatians 4, 4-5.
But when the set time fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
And I was thinking about, it's Christmas time, and what verse can I read?
And when I read this, I thought, this is it.
Because we have...
been adopted into sonship so everything that Jesus had access to we have access to and everything that he has access to now we still have access to that and so Christmas is this wonderful time of his birth and him coming and the sacrifice he made to even come into a human body to be born here and go through everything that we even worse than we go through and so to think that we have access to the same kingdom he does is mind-blowing So, Merry Christmas!
Great scripture.
But welcome today to Jesus, Guns, and Babies.
My friend, this is his second time coming on.
And so, you know, if I have a repeat person, I really like them.
So, welcome to C.R. Stewart.
He's an awesome author of a Britfield series that is amazing.
So, welcome to Jesus, Guns, and Babies.
Again, Chad.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so glad to have you back.
And, you know, I've read about half the book, the first one, because I'm reading it out loud of my six-year-old.
And so we're reading it together.
But it is awesome.
We love it so much.
And my nephew, actually, he read it quickly, like within four or five days.
And so I've ordered him two more, which you have available for Christmas.
And so he's going to love getting those books for Christmas and having them signed by you because you're one of his favorite authors now.
I love that.
Yeah, they were signed and already shipped, so they're on their way.
Yeah, so he will have them, and he thinks he's like, it makes him feel like he's special, like, oh, I have somebody famous that signed a book for me, you know?
So it's just, it's awesome.
It's hard, you know, when you start getting into this world about people knowing who you are and this notoriety, you're thinking, I'm not famous, I just do this, but you are, right?
And so it's a different kind of, God gives you a different influence.
So, I don't know.
Maybe we'll start there, talking about that, Chad.
But it's a different influence.
And I believe, if we're obedient to Him, and you are, and you created this supernatural series that is biblically founded and not any witchcraft and none of the other stuff, it's like God breathes on it.
You want to start there?
Yeah, no, I love that.
I love that.
And I myself love getting signed books from authors.
If you're familiar with the little Christmas story, I think it's called The Snowman.
It's done by a British author, and I was just thinking about this the other day, and I was in Richmond, England, this is like 20 years ago, and kind of staying there for a while, and I visited the bookshop, and he was there signing the books, and I got one with the signature, and I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world, so I am no different, you know, but I think it is cool.
It's fun.
I love doing it, and while I can do it, because I'm starting to get very, very busy, but I still enjoy it, And it's all I've been doing for like the last, I guess, two or three months.
It's almost like every single day I'm signing a ton of books.
What a blessing!
That means you're selling a bunch of books.
But it is.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, one could do worse.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is great.
And it's fun.
I mean, they're literally all over the world.
We shipped, I just, like three weeks ago, we shipped books off to Brazil.
If you can imagine, we shipped them off to Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands, England, Australia, New Zealand.
We just sold books in Japan.
Where else?
Just all over.
Georgia.
You shipped some to Georgia.
And I ship some to Georgia, even the best.
And no, it's really cool because just across the nation, and it's always interesting for me.
I mean, we have a lot of different platforms, Amazon and all these others that, you know, the books are being purchased through and shipped, but these come through the website, Riverfield website.
And so it's fun.
It's always fun to see the places that it's coming from, especially just even the United States.
I'm like, where in the world is that?
I just did one in Wisconsin this morning.
I'm like, where is that?
I'm like, oh, right by Milwaukee and stuff.
Just these little towns and cities.
It's really cool.
It's just across the nation, and it's exciting.
I'm very blessed.
This is obviously completely ordained under the Lord.
I was just thinking about this morning.
I was walking.
I just am in the passenger seat along for the ride.
It's not easy, and it's hard, as you can imagine.
Anything of quality takes a lot of time, effort, and work.
And really anything the Lord has called you to, to be honest, it's hard.
It's hard work.
A lot of it's just discipline and faith and walk by faith and not by sight, taking it one day at a time, one step at a time.
But we are really at a really cool place right now.
We've been in a paradigm shift for the last couple of months, which is really kind of going to the next level, if you will, with where we're at.
And really, you know, it all started...
I started over 12 years ago, you know, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, when I had an idea for Britfield and Lost Crown.
And at the time, I was in the corporate world.
I was an investment banker.
Sat down, just on one page of paper, kind of outlined this book.
You can kind of see it behind me with the balloon.
You know, it takes place in present time in England, up at Yorkshire, Northern England.
And it took me four years, 2500 hours to write book one.
And then from that point on, when we launched in August 2019, it's been over 10 years.
And then here we are five years later, and we're really at a paradigm shift, and we're really at the next, what one would say is a tipping point.
We're going from a soft launch, everything that we've done in the last five years, from a soft launch to a global launch.
And it's exciting.
I can feel it.
It's amazing.
So we can kind of talk about this because it's kind of fun.
Everything I'm saying, I say it humbly, but I also say it with excitement because it's really fun.
And I think the difference is it's not about selling books or products or making money.
It's about offering wonderful, wholesome content to children and adults all over the world.
And that has always been our attention.
The schools have always been our beachhead.
And we're in an industry right now, we're in an era right now that is just saturated, as you mentioned, Well, just frankly, let's call it garbage and flashover substance and witchcraft and demigods and superheroes, 85-90% of the market.
And yet, 85-90% of the market opportunity is there for quality content.
And I think I've been struggling with this, if you will, because you always try to...
We can talk about the movie, too.
Here's our movie script.
How cool is that?
Yay!
That was a huge undertaking, and we'll come back to that.
I've been trying to anchor the book into something.
I was influenced by James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charles Dickens and things like that.
I honestly don't think that there's anything like the Britfield series in literature.
And I think we've created our own category.
And I think really what we're trying to do, and what I'm always trying to do, is we've raised the bar in literature.
And that's why we're having such impact with children across the world and parents across the world, teachers and stuff, because it's such a great story.
It takes place in present time.
I don't need to use any of these devices that it seems like almost every other author has to hook their wagon to, right?
You know, whether it's demigods or superheroes or witchcraft or occultism or fantasy or whatever it is, you know, it's like, you know, anything, it's all flash over substance.
The idea behind it is to get kids away from reality And that they're not good enough as they are.
Isn't that the truth?
It's like, if you only had superpowers, or if you only had a wand, or if you could only, like, have this magical cloak, and it's like, no, you're born in the image of God.
You're creative.
You're amazing.
You have talent.
You have gifts.
God has an incredible plan for you, each one of you, every single child.
And that's what we're trying to, if you will, instill in these books.
And that's why we're having such impact, because they're anchored in reality.
And kids can relate to Tom and Sarah and Tom and Sarah, they use creativity, critical thinking, and communication, and collaboration while learning about geography, history, art, architecture, and culture.
For a series, it's based in family, friendship, loyalty, hope, faith, and courage.
And God's going to work all things for our good, supernaturally, whether we even can understand or fathom how it can happen.
I want to talk about this paradigm shift because I'm very intrigued with that.
But before that, I want to talk about the actual writing quality.
Because when you came on last time, you know, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is exciting.
But I'm a writer.
And so I'm kind of picky about quality.
And if someone really is a good writer, and let me just say, The Twilight series that Stephanie Meyer did was one of the best written series, along with The Hunger Games, just the quality and the capturing of the reader, and that you could see it, and you could feel it, and you could smell it.
And it was, I read them multiple times, and I actually burned them and threw them away because of the occult.
Yeah.
It's not from him, right?
Because, but Stephanie Meyer had a dream and she wrote the scene, this scene where the vampire's glittering in the sunlight.
That was the first thing she got for the book.
And then she wrote the rest and then came back and wrote the beginning.
It was kind of like that.
And then with Hunger Games, I really haven't heard that author talk a lot, a little bit about how she got her, the writing or whatever, but it's very well written.
But you can see ebbs and flows in those books in the quality of the writing.
And so some of the second, third book, I can almost, because I am a writer, and I don't know if you read like this, this is how I read.
Whenever I see a little bit of laziness or I see a little bit of Not as much detail or not.
I'm like, they were getting tired, right?
Because we're human and we're the one writing.
And so you get tired or you get like, your focus is moved or maybe like for me, when I'm writing, I'm writing a book right now called Swatted because I was swatted.
And so it's a, you know, a nonfiction book, but I'm writing this to be an educational piece for help law enforcement never, you know, be used or weaponized against someone and kill them.
And so when I'm writing this, I'll get a creative idea and then I get distracted because one of the kids needs something.
And then it's like I come back, I'm like, oh man, I had an image in my head I wanted to write about and now I can't remember it.
Lord, help me remember it.
So anyway, all that, I want you to talk about your process because when I was reading, I've been reading this book and it's excellent, dense quality.
And so I was very impressed, Chad.
Like I thought, hey, it really is good.
Like he told me he's excited and God gave it to him.
But until I read it, I didn't know it was that good.
It's that good and better.
It's a very good quality.
And so I guess for me, I want to know like, How do you maintain that quality?
How do you, you know, and I know you went through, it took you so long on that first book, but I'm thinking maybe it's getting easier because you're in a vein.
Because when you get in a writer vein, it kind of gets easier, right?
So anyway, all that, you talk about whatever piece you want to, but those are my thoughts in my head as you were talking.
Yeah, no, I love that.
I love that.
And it is, it's funny, the difference between a hobby and profession is about eight, 10,000 hours, right?
Of hard quality work.
And so I'm now writing book four, about 70% done.
Book four is Britfield and the Eastern Empire.
It takes place in Eastern Europe and Russia.
And just to kind of fast forward to that, I took four months just to outline book four.
So four months.
That was all I was doing.
I wasn't writing scenes.
I wasn't writing paragraphs.
Now, as I'm doing a scene, I might have an idea for some dialogue or a quick couple lines or something.
But the whole idea is literally from start to finish.
And it comes out to 84 scenes for the entire book.
I put them all together.
So it's not like I've got most of them.
Let's start writing.
I figured the whole thing out.
I laid the whole thing out.
The subplots.
I have plot points.
Very, very distinct in my writing.
I base it really on the three-act structure and I base it on a movie script.
And I think that's why so many children and adults that have read it, say, my books read like a movie and you feel like you're there and stuff.
So very stringent with that, with the plot points, midpoint, all that type of stuff, the subplots, bringing that in.
But yeah, it really is.
It's like 10 to 20% writing and then 80% rewriting and editing.
And that's where it really happens.
I mean, getting your first draft done is phenomenal.
It feels really good.
I got it all out there, start to finish, take a break, and then you come back and it's the editing.
And it's not one edit.
You know what I mean?
It's multiple edits over and over and over again.
Even with book four right now, what I'll always do is, you know, before I start every morning with the new scene, I'll jump back 10 pages and just edit through it.
You know, and then write a couple scenes and then I'll, you know, come back and I'll edit through it.
Now that's on the computer.
When I'm done and I get it as good as I can on the computer editing, I think we talked about this before, is I go into the paper edit and it's just absolutely different.
It really is.
And it's like, I might have the best page you've ever read in your life on this little screen here and I'll print it out as a page and I'm like, huh?
You know, like, Like, I said that word three times, and I don't like that sentence, and that doesn't make any sense.
You know what I mean?
It really is.
It's so interesting.
And so the paper edit is like the gold.
And I'll go through that about two, three times.
And what I mean is a complete paper edit all the way through, take a break, and then I'll come back.
And so I do spend that extraordinary stringent time on it.
I think one thing I also try to do is I enter late and leave early, which is, if you're ever watching a great television or a good movie with the scenes, it's not a knock at the door, come in.
And they come in, they hang up their coat.
That's all wasted time.
It's like, boom, the scene starts right in like, you know, he's sitting at his desk and he's yelling at this guy, you know, boom.
And it's like, well, all right, get it done.
Boom.
Next scene, next scene, next scene.
And so I really try to keep the scenes tight only on the action.
And I'm not huge in description, but it's funny because so many, so much of the feedback I got is like, I love all the description.
And I think it's just I'm very, very concise.
I'll frame stuff, but I don't over exaggerate it.
And I think too many authors do that.
And even some of the well established, and we've probably talked about that.
You're reading along, you're halfway into the story, halfway into the book, and it's like, here's three more paragraphs about the way they're dressed.
It's like, really?
It's like, you know, unless it absolutely has something to do with the story.
And don't get me wrong, like, as I'm traveling through Europe in my books, you know, I might describe, like, this museum or this cathedral.
I just don't go into it.
It's like, if you want to get more, you know, Google search it or find out and stuff.
And so it's always a confinement of sentences.
And my goal, really, is to take a paragraph And be able to turn it into one sentence.
Meaning, you know, for what would take someone eight lines to describe, can I do that in one sentence?
And you read that one sentence, you're like...
Got it.
I just saw the whole thing or got the whole image.
So that's kind of my goal.
You know what, Chad?
When you're talking about that, I'm thinking, you know, it probably is more effective and it's probably a balancing act, but we have beautiful imaginations and we were created in the image of God who was the creator, who saw everything.
So when I read, I like books better than movies because...
You know, the characters look different in my head, and they look better to me in my head than they do on the movie screen.
And so when you give less, it's actually more.
You know how you say less is more?
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
So that makes sense.
Yeah, always leave the audience wanting more.
But I think on that line you talked about imagination, that's always been the goal of the Britfield series is to elicit the creativity and imagination of the one that is reading it.
I don't need to fill in every single piece of the puzzle.
That's why I said I frame it.
And to sort of exemplify that point, if you're looking behind me, the balloon in Britfield and Lost Crown, book one, as they're approaching the balloon, I describe the basket and this tall, you know, structure with the balloon and the netting and the ropes.
And the propane tanks, but I never described the color of the balloon.
And it's a very simple example that I'm letting you as the reader fill it in.
And I bet every child says, oh, the balloon's like bright red.
Or it's like, no, it's black and yellow.
You know what I mean?
Or it's, no, it's got a whole, you know what I mean?
Everyone sees it differently.
And I think that's That's what's cool about the writing, is I'll frame the city or I'll frame the structure, but I don't fill in every single little detail.
Number one, because you don't.
Number two, it's a waste of words, and it breaks up the flow of the story and the sentence.
But number three, I want you to fill it in.
We've all been to a city.
We know what skyscrapers look like.
The gleaming glass with the silver and the steam, blah, blah.
We know what a city looks like.
You know what I mean?
So you frame it and let them fill it in.
And so that's one of the techniques.
One of my final techniques that keeps things so moving is when I'm at my final draft, my goal now is to get rid of at least one sentence per page.
That's like every single page I want to get rid of at least one sentence.
Already it's as tight as it gets.
And so how do I do that?
And all it does is it just tightens it and tightens it.
So there's no fat, right?
There's no slack.
There's like nothing that doesn't need to be there.
I often say that my books are kind of like a house of cards.
It's like you take out one thing and it's like, you know what I mean?
Because it's so tight.
But that's one of the techniques, and that's why I'll get stories back from kids that have read Britfield and Lost Crown in one sitting, or in five hours.
And it's not because it's simple writing.
I use vast vocabulary.
I spend most of my time trying to figure out what word to use.
You know what I mean?
What's a different word that I can use?
But I don't over-exaggerate it.
Some authors will throw it in there because they think they're so sophisticated.
Look at the cool word.
But the word doesn't fit.
Number one, we've never even heard of it before.
Number two, it's too chunky.
You know what I mean?
And so it really is, it's the art of writing.
It's wordcraft.
And usually what I'll do is when I'm doing my final edits with the paper edit, I sit down And relax.
You know, I've got a highlighter and a pen, and I'm reading it out loud.
And so how does it sound?
How does it flow?
And so these are some of my techniques to make sure that it just flows so fast.
And I just got a letter from this girl in Montana, and her parents, you might actually know her parents, are best-selling authors of the Bible Bells.
with that yeah I've heard that yeah very popular and their daughter's great the cutest little thing and she absolutely loves Britfield I'm like her favorite author which again is amazing because she's read all the greats out there I got a letter from her if I can find it it's over there but um and she was just saying how much you know she loved the series she read book she read book one five times um book two six times and she read book book three This is 575 pages.
She read this seven times.
Wow.
I'm like just blown away.
So it's really cool.
And I mean, it was just, we get that feedback all the time from kids that just, you know, I couldn't put it down or, you know, and adults, you know, I got an email a couple weeks ago from a 62-year-old woman up in Washington State.
And she said, you know, someone recommended the series to me and She goes, I don't read a lot.
And she goes, I just zipped through Ritfield and Lost Crown.
She goes, thanks for writing a book that was so readable, right?
And our youngest reader is seven, our oldest reader is 93.
55% of our audience are adults anyway.
And I got some feedback from a woman in the Netherlands, which was really cool, an older woman.
She goes, I just love the Ritfield series.
She goes, I've never read anything like it.
And she's like, I can't wait until you guys are here.
And we are now, through Amazon, which is kind of cool.
Well, you know, when people, like before, when I even heard you, I thought, okay, well, can I ask you, you know, writing technique and all this.
And so some of this I heard before, but not in this much detail.
It is amazing to me because it makes sense because the writing is so dense and it's so good.
It's just, it's not a lot of fad.
It's not like, you know, you read books that I really like, but then I'm like skimming it.
And I'm a speed reader too.
So I'm skimming it to get past all the details so I can get to the meat.
It's not like that.
It's like every sentence.
And so even when I'm reading it to my little boy, I was reading the fits and he dozed off.
And then I wanted to finish the page.
I started up the next page, you know, the next sitting.
He's like, wait, what happened?
So I had to go back and read the rest of that half of a page to catch him up.
Because you miss something.
You can't.
You're right.
You can't take a sentence out or you miss a house of cards.
That was so, I mean, that was a great imagery because it's the truth.
But it's, I mean, I'm not just telling you this, Chad.
Like, I wouldn't have had you back on.
I'm telling you, it is a beautifully written piece of art.
I mean, the whole.
Thank you.
And I haven't finished it.
And I'm like, you know, it's awesome.
We're on Christmas break and I'm super busy.
You know, I work full time and I do GOP stuff and I'm always nonstop.
But I love to read.
Reading is my favorite thing to do, even more than writing.
So we're off for 15 days.
And so we're going to finish book one.
I'm so excited to finish it.
And I may have to read book two and three before I give it to my nephew next week.
We'll see.
Well, we can shift real quick just to the script, only because I want to talk about the movie, but this is the third draft, final polish version of the script, and so it's so funny.
I signed with the author, I'm sorry, I signed with the script writer Christmas Eve last year, and I was thinking about that today again when I was walking.
Lots of thoughts, and I was thinking, oh my gosh, anniversary, and it's like, here I am.
Like, how cool is that?
It was God's gift.
It was a gift to Eve.
Yeah, it was.
And it's interesting.
So he went through it.
You know, he's been a script writer for 30 years.
He's written over 40 scripts, major motion picture types of things, adaptations, which is important.
Worked with a lot of the major studios.
And he got through the second draft, which I received last month, November.
And it was kind of at that point where it's like, you know, I'm tired of like making all these notes and then going back to them and then and then so I really sort of I like I was kind of joking with myself but I said the lunatic has taken over the asylum and so I got the software program that he was writing the script in and I talked to him I said I'm going to go ahead and do the third draft now and it was at 168 and I got it down to 148 so I shaved off 20 pages which which is a lot But I gotta admit, and again, too, this is me stepping outside myself.
I'm reading the movie script and these scenes, and they are.
The story is so incredible.
The scenes are so wonderful and heartfelt.
And I'm seeing this visually as a movie.
I'm seeing it on the screen.
We're very excited about, you know, the movie, and hopefully we'll be moving into pre-production in the spring and actual production in, ideally, in England.
In Eastern Europe in October, November of next year.
Wow.
To be launched globally, November 2025.
I do think that this will be one of the highest grossing movies in cinematic history.
I am telling you right now, the public does not know what's coming.
I just, it's, because I'm like, I'm reading the script and like just the first 30 pages, the first act, so you know like Weatherly and everything that happens.
Yeah.
And it's like, it's like we open up that whole world and bring you into Weatherly.
We start right on the action.
And Tom, you know, going out on this little mission at night, the book exchange, and then being called into the office and then being threatened.
Yes!
All of that happens within 15 minutes.
And then they're up on the roof and Sarah gets captured.
Oh, 15 minutes!
Oh my gosh!
And 15 minutes of movie.
And then it's the plan, the great escape.
And the next 20 minutes is just pure action, you know?
And it's like, and so you end act one, which is usually about 30 minutes, 30, 32 pages.
You end act one, and it's like the chase and the dog and all the tension and climbing through the...
And I'm thinking to myself, and it's just high octane.
You're like just completely engrossed.
And I'm thinking to myself, hey, audience, it's just begun.
It's like we're just getting warmed up for this story.
We are taking you on a journey you have never seen before.
I don't know of any movie.
I'm a movie buff.
I'm a movie historian.
I've been researching it for 40 years, starting in the 1930s.
I've written papers on it.
So I know the industry very well.
I don't know.
I don't, I just don't know a single movie like this ever in history, which comes back to the, to the book series.
And it's just, it's got, it's just got so much heart and, and warmth and these, and the values of it.
And they're just coming through in these scenes.
And it's just, it's just so, it's just wonderful.
And I just see people just, I think what will happen is the movie will be over.
People won't believe what they just watched.
Literally, like you, And it's not hard.
You know what I mean?
How hard is it to do a good story?
And how many times have you seen Hollywood?
And Hollywood's all corrupt and it's all bought and paid for.
It's all agenda.
How many times have we watched a movie and we're like, gosh, they had to put that in there?
You know, it's like it was almost a good movie.
And they know that.
They did the whole movie so they could put that in there.
And yet you're going to watch the story and it's just like, it was so good.
I mean, it's like I cried, I laughed, I celebrated.
I think it's the type of movie that 12-year-olds' kids are going to stand up in their seats and be applauding and yelling.
And you haven't seen this type of involvement in a film in decades.
And I think we're going to knock the ball out of the park.
Yeah, I'm sitting here thinking about Little Orphan Annie.
Like, that's what I thought about when I started reading the movie, right?
So different.
Like, it's not even just the orphanage and how they were treated.
And then how, you know, it's similar in that way.
And the wicked, you know, lead of the orphanage and how they just don't give a crap about them.
Like, they're garbage.
They're nothing.
They're animals.
It's not any love, any nurture, any, you know.
No relationship.
Numbness.
I thought about when you were talking about this, for me as a little girl, I loved Annie.
I loved it so much.
The whole movie builds up to Daddy Warbucks at the end.
This movie is going to be that the whole way through.
You know what I'm saying?
It's going to be so intense the whole way through, Chad.
It's going to be, and I can feel it.
And so tell me the difference in the editing process of the movie script versus all that you told us about the novel.
Because I just sit here and I'm thinking, you're amazing, like the writer, because you shift in that as a huge deal.
That's not easy to do.
No.
And I'm fortunate because I came from a script writing background, but I'm not that kind of person.
I need to do everything.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to direct it and I wouldn't touch it with directing.
What do I know about directing?
You know what I mean?
Like, we're going to find a great director.
I don't need to be acting in it.
We're going to find great actors.
You know what I mean?
I'm not that type.
But I did come from the script writing background before I became a novelist.
And so, you know, but even with that said, I still hired a very well-vetted, you know, experienced script writer because guess what?
That's what he does every day.
I'm not writing scripts every day.
But with that said, and he did some great stuff in structuring it and laying it out, but we just needed to do a lot of tweaking.
And I kid you not, it took me three weeks.
My final edit, the third edit, took me three weeks, 150 hours nonstop, you know, of course, but you know what I mean, like just straight through.
Reduced it down to that 20 pages.
I changed and tweaked probably 800 to maybe 900 things, whether it was getting rid of a sentence, changing a dialogue, whatever.
And I went through it multiple times on the computer.
And then I was like, well, I should probably do a paper edit.
And it's almost like, of course, but again, I'm used to the novels.
And so I did the paper edit.
I thought it would take me maybe two days.
It took me five days.
Through the paper edit, I changed another 400 things in the script.
Isn't that amazing?
So I'm glad you asked that question because it really, to me, exemplifies and emphasizes the importance of that paper edit.
And even if, like, you're writing a term paper and you're in school, you know what I mean, or you're writing a memo, print it out and read through it real quick.
I mean, it's just night and day, I'm telling you.
But, I mean, here I am, you know, three weeks, 150 hours On the laptop, tight, beautiful.
I'm reading through it.
I started printing those first three or four pages, and I changed between 400 and 500 things still.
Just a line here, or a little bit of dialogue, or a word, or whatever it was.
I cleaned it up.
And I'm still going to go through it one more time.
I'm distancing myself.
I got some great feedback from my producer.
Two weeks ago, he read through it.
He had like 50 little comments, which were great.
You know what I mean?
And so I'm like, yep, good.
Good catch.
And And actually, first week in January is when I'm going to sit down and go through it one more time with a paper edit.
And then we're actually going to do readings.
How fun will that be?
So we're going to hire some actors and read through the whole thing and see how it sounds and stuff.
And again, this is all kind of that pre-production stage and stuff.
So we're ready to rock and roll.
I mean, the spring is wound and we're ready to blast into next year.
Next year is going to be extraordinary.
And I've known that for a while.
This has been a tough year.
Truthfully, it's been a very odd year, very slow year.
And for society, too.
That's what I mean.
Having hope in 2024 that we will have this great entertainment, heartfelt relationship with these characters, peace coming.
And I think that we're going to have a really hard year as a country next year as well.
So I think it'll be, you know, it's going to be good to have this to look forward to.
But I want to say, you know, whenever you start doing the cast, that's going to be the part that is so critical.
And we talked about that last time.
Sure.
And like your ages.
And so I'd like to kind of talk about that a minute.
And because you may have changed even from what you told me before in your thought process or what the producers and things are saying about kind of how you're going to start it.
Because it's going to be important.
You're going to be on a timeline to make sure these kids that you get function now and then actually function later, right?
As that character.
So talk to us about that.
Yeah, and it's really cool.
I mean, we have an entire business plan put together.
Within that business plan is the entire cast and directors that we're looking at, cinematographers, all of it.
I mean, it's the entire package.
And people have to keep in mind, when you're doing a movie, it's like starting a company.
It's not a lemonade stand.
It's a major company.
It's a major undertaking.
And so everything's in place.
We've got some great actors.
I've got about Four to five actors per role that are already figured out.
Now, that's my best conception.
For Tom and Sarah, we've got a couple, but it's really going to be casting agent, the right casting agent, because they know.
They've got their beat and pulse.
You know, they see everything.
They know everything.
So, again, too, I'm not...
Talk to us about ages, not names, because I don't want you to give anything that might be...
Sure, sure.
Trying to steal them from you.
But, like, ages...
Yeah, and it'll be interesting.
I mean, there's some actors that keep their youth.
Gosh, even Matthew Broderick, right?
It's like he still looks young.
I say it because he was here in Laguna Beach at the La Jolla Playhouse doing Love Letters.
Again, if you're familiar with the play, I saw Matthew Broderick and Helen Hunt 40 years ago doing Love Letters up at the Cannon Theater in Beverly Hills.
So it was kind of cool.
I was going to go back, but I said, nah, that's right.
But it'll depend.
I mean, you know, whether, because Tom and Sarah, like, the ages are 12 in the book.
Now, whether they're 14 or 15 really depends, but you've got to be very careful, because it's like, what's nice about this is we already have book one, two, and three.
And so when we're done with filming the first movie, there'll be a break, but we're going right back and getting into the second, you know, movie, and then we'll just continue onward.
So there's not going to be any kind of long lull, and there shouldn't be.
And so those two actors are going to be key, and you don't want them to age out.
I was wondering if you would go like an 8-year-old or a 10-year-old so that they would be, they're 12 and a bit younger, so that you can kind of have some, I don't know, absorption.
And I know what you're thinking, but it's like, you know, if you look at television, too, or the movies or the television programs we grew up with, and it's like they're playing 12, and it's like if you saw the real age, it was like 16.
You know, the ones that are playing 17 in high school and they're really 25 and 26.
So it's kind of standard.
And so it's not to say that we wouldn't get someone that's 10 that looks 12 or I don't know.
It just kind of depends.
I mean, they're going to be veterans.
They're going to be good actors.
I don't think you would have known of them.
You might have said, oh, I saw them in that weird BBC program, or whatever, that show.
They'll have experience.
And they've probably been, both of these actors have probably been in the game since they were six or seven.
So they have the professionalism.
They have the ability to act very well and stuff.
This will be wonderful for them, as far as the next seven, because we need them for all seven movies.
And they're become famous.
Really famous.
Yeah, it'll launch a lot of careers.
You probably need to look at their parents and make sure they're grounded and not drug addicts.
You know what I'm saying?
This is going to be like a family investment.
Because like you said, it's like a company.
So when you think about your company, it's your brand and it's how you want...
To be successful, you're going to have to have a good, strong, firm foundation.
Hopefully, there'll be Christians.
I want to start praying.
I want to tell my audience right now.
Pray for the perfect casting.
This is so important.
No matter what Chad's done, Chad He can do everything he can do right.
And then the enemy is going to attack.
And he's going to attack any way he can to ruin this.
Because this is not...
He doesn't have a finger on it.
It's not a Kodish.
It's not anything that he's manipulated.
And it's going to bring people to understand who they are in Christ.
And who they are.
They're strong and they're able and they can do it on their own.
And they don't need drugs or they don't need a Kod or they don't need...
And so he's going to attack it as hard as he can.
And so I have a whole lot of prayer warriors.
So we're going to start praying specifically for the casting and the protection and the everything goes and the enemy's attacks fail.
Please do, because that is the greatest thing you can do.
That is the greatest weapon, Ephesians 6, right?
And I actually bring, I tie in, I have a little treat for you at the end of book two.
There's a, someone quotes a bit of Ephesians 6.
Awesome.
It's kind of cool.
And so, and I'm a prayer warrior myself.
And so, yes, I mean, please do.
That is the most important thing.
So, I mean, we're looking at some major directors right now, a couple that Would be perfect, but I don't know.
You know what I mean?
It'll be interesting to see where the Lord leads, quite frankly.
And so it's like I do my best that I can.
And I did a lot of research.
I spent a ton of time picking the actors and seeing where they're at in their industry and seeing what they've been involved and even the directors and stuff.
So it'll be interesting bringing it all together.
But yeah.
That is very key.
Having the right people, the right crew.
Book one will probably mostly be cast from British actors.
It's not to say that Americans can't do British accents.
You know, but I just, again, I like the authenticity of it.
And, you know, let's be honest.
I mean, so many of those British actors are so well trained.
They all come from theater.
And they've done all these wonderful BBC adaptations of books, whether it was Hard Times or, you know, Great Expectations or whatever they're doing.
And they're just geared into it, and they're just articulate, and I just love the authenticity.
That's why I'm kind of hoping to film at least some of it in England.
And we know, you know, in today's standards, I can give you this beautiful B-roll shot of London, you know, with the London Eye and the boats along, and you see people walking, and then boom, the next shot, you know, you're along this little cobblestone street, and that could be in Romania.
You know what I mean?
So it's like...
You know, that's typical.
You know what I mean?
Like, very few people are actually filming in New York.
I mean, Toronto is New York North.
I mean, very, very few scenes where television programs are filmed in New York.
They're filmed in Toronto, in Canada.
I think Blue Bloods, though, believe it or not, is filmed there.
And wow, like, I don't know how they pull that off.
But anyway, so, yeah.
So much is filmed in Georgia.
So maybe eventually, when we get back to the States, you'll come to Georgia and film.
What was filmed?
Oh, I know a lot of things are filmed.
So many things are filmed in Georgia.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
No, no.
It's possible.
It's possible.
So, yeah.
And then book two, you know, France.
Book three, Italy.
How cool is that?
So, but it is.
That's part of that paradigm shift.
And it's interesting, too, because, you know, like everyone's talking about development, you know, this and that.
But we've been in development for two years on the film, but it just takes a lot of time to reach out, to, you know, pull the team together, to get the script, to get the business plan together.
To be at this stage.
Because starting in January, I mean, it's like, you know, the gloves are off and there's no holds barred.
I mean, we're ready.
I'm ready to go.
I mean, we're good to go.
There's still funding aspects and things.
So I just want to say about the funding.
So what are you...
Like, for me, when I ran for office, and I'm, like, comparing this in my brain of, you know, people, a lot of naysayers, like, no, you can't do that.
No, that's impossible.
No, it's a fantasy thing to think that you can do that and, you know, not be politically involved all these years and then just run for office.
It's a high seat, like governor or U.S. Senate or whatever.
So are you...
How have you been received in pushing this forward in the funding, in the producers?
I mean, have you seen God open doors for you supernaturally?
Are you feeling like a lot of things shut in your face?
How has that experience been?
I think it's been an even flow, really.
Yeah, that's a great question.
I mean, part of it is just like the industry's over.
Like Hollywood's dead.
They've been dead for years.
They're over.
And the same thing with television, same thing with literature.
And it's so funny.
It's just like they try so hard to get your attention.
And to tell you that they're relevant.
It's like mainstream media.
Like, they're still on?
You know what I mean?
It's just like, who's watching you?
No one's watching you guys anymore.
Pure propaganda.
There's absolutely zero need for mainstream media, for main newspapers.
It's all propaganda.
It's all crap.
They're telling you what they think is important and what isn't important.
And what you should know and what you should not know.
They're dictating that.
And it's the same thing with everything.
I don't need Hollywood's permission to go out and make one of the best movies ever.
I don't need the publishing industry to create one of the best series ever.
I just do it.
You know what I mean?
And it's like, it's not easy.
Of course it's not going to be easy.
Is anything that God's ever done really been easy?
Or anything he's called you to?
Yeah.
And it's like, you know, you think it's going to be a day and God goes, get ready.
It's going to be a decade.
And that's the truth.
And very few pastors sort of say that.
It's this flash over substance.
Crap.
No offense.
But it's just like, man, it is the hardest journey and the hardest walk, but there's no other walk to do.
And the end result is something that is so real and so solid and the seeds and the roots are so deep.
And so, no, we're excited.
And so it's...
I'm not feeling so much that resistance, per se.
Not that it's not out there.
But I don't know.
Yeah, it's...
I don't know.
They're so irrelevant to me.
It's a good question, but I'm so disconnected from it.
That's great.
I'm so glad.
They're just irrelevant.
Hollywood's irrelevant.
Television's irrelevant.
All these other programs are irrelevant.
When we do our series, it's just like whatever platform we use will be a great platform.
It'll be one of the best series you've ever seen, and people from all over the world are going to come and see that.
Same thing with the movie.
I could see pre-sales of tickets.
You know, like within, you know, $30 million in pre-sales of tickets, even before we opened up the first thing.
You know, it's going to be a landslide.
It's going to be a Titanic moment.
It's going to be a lot like The Sound of Music.
And I use that as a reference point, because The Sound of Music, one of my favorite all-time movies, was the fourth or fifth highest-grossing film in cinematic history, still, if adjusted to inflation.
And it was in some theaters for almost a year.
And some people had seen it 50, 75, 100 times.
And it's so interesting to think that that was launched in 1965.
And if you know the 60s, it's like, the sound of music?
Where'd that come from?
It's like, it's not singing in the rain.
We're done with those Hollywood musicals and stuff.
And all of a sudden, one of the greatest stories ever.
I mean, it's just so beautiful.
It's so heartfelt.
It's so incredible.
And I think, I think Britfield is going to have that same family impact.
Finally, a movie that kids could go to and the parents can take them and the grandparents can take the grandkids and let's go see that again.
And, you know, it's going to, it's going to make everything else in Hollywood look silly.
And we don't have to slide in the F word and we don't have to slide in transgender and we don't have to slide in all these things.
All nonsense.
Just get a narrative.
Just stop.
Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense.
Lies and nonsense.
Anything they say is nonsense.
Anything they do is nonsense.
They want your attention.
Hey, look over here.
This is what...
No, we don't care.
You're irrelevant.
You are irrelevant.
And you're not a majority.
And I think the public often, because they control so much of it, the media and stuff, think like, well, this is what's popular now.
That's not popular now.
It's disgusting and vile.
And us, Americans, patriots, God-fearing men and women, I think it's crap and garbage.
90% of us.
We're just busy.
We're busy, like, making money.
Yeah, we're just trying to get by and raise our kids and, you know, have a meal and have a nice weekend together.
So, you know, it's because we're not out in the streets and millions protesting.
We are protesting.
That's right.
And we're not buying it.
And we don't like it.
And it's crap.
And they know it.
And we're going to show them that.
Absolutely.
It's going to make it.
It's going to be a phenomenon.
It's going to be awesome.
Because God's in it.
And He's not only in it.
You're submissive to Him.
And He's going to...
Doors nobody can shut.
And He's going to breathe on it.
And it's going to be...
A miracle is what it's going to be.
And so I don't believe that.
And the thing that I want to hear about, and I don't know if it'll be our next interview or what interview it'll be, but at some point, I can't wait for you to say, you know what, Candice?
This person got saved.
This person had this miracle healing.
This person had this happen.
And it was supernatural.
We're on the set, and this is what happened.
We were here, and this is what happened.
Because that's what happens whenever God tells you to do something and you're obedient and you work really hard because nothing comes easy.
Everything that's worth having is really hard work.
And whenever like God told me to run for governor and I'm doing bus tours and I'm, you know, investing all this time and my family's sacrificing and it's a sacrifice.
When we sacrifice, It really...
I had somebody said, what was the one word you could say on what you did?
I said, sacrifice.
The sacrifice.
But out of that, I have relationships that I would never have had that are beautiful, lifelong.
People got saved.
People got healed.
People's marriages turned around.
Things happened through me running for governor.
That never would have happened had I not been obedient and worked really hard and put myself out there and met these people and done.
Same thing is going to happen on these movie sets, when people read the novels, when people, everything, everything about this company, because it's like a company, everything that is going to be a miraculous story time and time again for you to tell and testimony.
No, I love it.
And we're seeing slivers of that.
All over.
I mean, we've impacted thousands of students now that have read the series.
I mean, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of students.
Giving them something pure.
Right now, the industry is peddling.
Yeah, they're peddling McDonald's.
You know what I mean?
And it smells good, tastes good, and yet it just destroys the body.
And after you're done eating it, you feel like crap.
And that's the truth.
And suddenly we give this, like, great meal of Britfield, and it feeds the soul, feeds the mind and the heart, because it's real.
And suddenly, like all these other books, I noticed that, like, for myself, like, six weeks ago.
And again, you know, the parallel for us is sort of the Harry Potter, but we're the complete opposite.
And we will outsell Harry Potter in ten years.
It's a fact.
That's how big this will be and it's exciting and we didn't compromise anything to do it.
But I was watching like one of the movies the other day just for like 15 minutes a couple weeks ago or something and I read the whole series because I had to to understand what the phenomenon was and the writing and stuff and it was never an individual just like you'd mentioned those others individuals.
It's never an individual.
These are all agenda oriented.
This is a team that's behind these certain books for certain reasons.
But it just, suddenly Harry Potter just looked, it looked so silly to me.
You know what I mean?
I mean, like, their wizardry, and they're being chased, and they're trying to think of the spell or the wand.
And I'm like, Tom and Sarah have none of that.
You know what I mean?
In this ridiculous, mystical world of yours.
It's like, Tom and Sarah, it's like, they're out there on their own, and it's just their own wits, and their own strength, and their own courage, and they don't rely on anything.
And that's that kind of next level of literature, that next level of You know, writing that we were offering out there.
And it's just, it's powerful.
And it's very, very cool.
And it's exciting.
And we're seeing that impact.
I got four letters from, just from one school.
Their assignment for the English class, it was like last month or something, was to write their favorite author, you know, a letter.
And I thought, oh my gosh, I got four.
I was like, that's pretty cool.
And each one of them, just the impact that Britfield's been having We get these letters all the time from kids and students.
They've started their own Britfield book club.
I met a 13-year-old through a special, you know, introduction to surprise her on her 13th birthday through her parents.
And she's now writing her own novel.
She's on, you know, an adventure novel based and she's on page chapter 13.
You know, we're influencing writing.
We're influencing storytelling.
We're connecting kids to reality.
It was really cute.
I got a letter from, like, a mom and said, yeah, just the other day, like, we were sitting around the dinner table, and my 11-year-old said, you know, if Tom was here right now, he would really like the meal we're eating.
And I just thought it was so cool.
We get, like, all these little slivers from across the world, Germany.
I mean, you name it.
And it's just cool.
I mean, it's really, really cool.
And so we're already having massive impact on education and creativity.
Critical thinking, communication, family values.
It's exciting.
Yeah, we talked a lot last time about critical thinking and how important that is.
And, you know, it is.
And I love it that you care about that, like them thinking critically and thinking beyond just surface level things and thinking for themselves because we have really dumbed down society.
And even in writing, And in literature.
And it's been so dumbed down.
And so I'm so thankful for someone who doesn't have an agenda of Satan to come in and do a pure, authentic, let's grow our vocabulary, let's grow our imagination, and let's do something that's good for humanity.
Yeah, our goal from day one is to put creativity back in the classroom.
And it's really focused on the child's individuality.
You know, everything right now is group think and You know, it's just nonsense.
And for us, it's, hey, you're all born creative.
You all have gifts.
Sometimes it may take years to realize it.
You know, I tell my story.
I mean, I wrote my first official book in sixth grade and then didn't start at Britfield until I was like in my 40s.
Do you know what I mean?
I mean, but the ideas were there, the storytelling was there and stuff like that.
So we're all about, you know, the individual, that you have talent, that you have abilities.
And, you know, it's just having opportunities to voice what's inside you and stuff.
So that's what we're trying to inspire.
I'll share this, though.
These are kind of cool.
Sorry, our first Britfield puzzle.
Oh!
That's cool!
This is our second Britfield puzzle.
Yes!
I love it.
So are those on the website, too?
No, not yet.
These are just prototypes.
Yeah.
That's the third Britfield puzzle.
I love it.
Yeah.
So we're having a lot of fun.
But yeah, so the focus now is like we launched the theatrical play.
I think I mentioned that this year, which was really cool.
So that was another way to impact schools and theater programs and youth theater, bringing that incredible story.
You know, into their programs, you know, speaking roles for 30 actors, 28 sound effects, 52 visual slides, turnkey operation for schools.
So that was exciting.
Now it's the movies, the main focus, and then finishing book four, Refielding the Eastern Empire.
So I was working on it this morning before our interview.
So it's discipline.
That's what I would say.
What's the one thing?
It's discipline.
Discipline and sacrifice.
Yeah, yeah.
For you, it was sacrifice.
And it is for me, too.
It is.
It's sacrificing your time.
I mean, you could be doing something else.
Oh, yeah.
I'd rather be fishing or I'd rather be skiing, right?
But, yeah, it is.
And I accept that.
You know what I mean?
It's been a hard, long journey.
And there's still a lot ahead of us, to say the least.
But it's cool.
It's rewarding.
And you as a writer can realize it's like there's nothing cooler than creating a scene.
You start with a blank page.
And then in a couple of hours, you just created, you know, a really cool scene, you know, or whatever.
And it's just that's so fun and that's so exciting and stuff.
So book four is interesting, too, because my models changed just a bit.
Like book one was 384 pages.
Book two was 474 pages.
Britfield and the Rise of the Lion, that was in France.
Book three, which is behind me, which we launched last year, Britfield and the Return of the Prince, 575 pages.
For now on with the next four books, I'm keeping them right at 450 pages to my best ability for a lot of reasons.
And now it's countries.
And so it's like it starts in Vienna, Austria, and then it goes to Bratislava, and then it goes to Prague.
And then it goes to Krakow and Warsaw and Poland and Berlin and then the Baltic Ocean and then Lithuania and then Estonia and then St.
Petersburg and Moscow, Russia.
It's like, how cool is that?
So it's really covering quite a big gamut.
So like in book five, it'll be parts, you know, it'll start in South Korea and then come through Asia.
And then book six will be South America.
And then and then book seven will be United States and stuff.
So but now I got I got another eight, eight years, 10 years ahead of me.
Right.
And it's going to teach, I mean, so much about because a lot of those places you mentioned, I know very little about a part of them, but I know very little about them.
And so you think about 43 years old and I'm at very age, I have a Ph.D., a terminal degree.
And so it's going to really just teach the children and adults things that are so interesting history-wise.
I do want to ask you, as we have like two minutes, I want to ask you about your family.
Like, what does your family think about this?
And like, how are they, what is their comments?
Like, what do they say?
It's really cool.
I'm actually not married, nor do I have kids, which is interesting.
And so I was kind of coming back to that idea of sacrifice, and this is my family, and these are my kids, is what I was called to.
And it's not that I didn't want that, and it's not that it won't be in the future, but I work on it seven days a week.
And I remember just talking with a friend the other day, and it's just like, you know, if I was married right now and I had kids, I wouldn't be able to do half of what I do.
And that's good and bad, meaning it's great.
It's great to have the family and the kids, and it's like, you know, when sacrifice is made, something else is gained, and I'll never have that, at least for now.
But that is a huge sacrifice that I've made.
But I do have my mom, who's great.
And my sister and her three kids, and that's been my family in a sense.
And it was really cool because Danica, she's 26, and she's up in L.A. teaching at a public school, math.
And so we've introduced some of the books there.
And the kids are like, oh my gosh, like C.R. Stewart's your brother?
Or I mean, I'm sorry, your uncle?
And so it's like, there's a lot of that kind of like moment of realization of like, wow, like this is exciting, or this is huge, or this is big.
And I think one of my favorite stories was...
Last year, last October, when we were getting ready to pilot the theatrical play.
So I took the 384-page book, got it down to a 90-minute two-act theatrical play, specifically for middle schools.
And so we were, you know, just kind of promoting it.
It was in Mission Viejo, Southern California.
And my sister was kind of putting it up on her Facebook site.
And someone that she has not, a friend of hers that she has not spoken to in five or six years...
Who just moved to Kansas said, oh my gosh.
She goes, we just moved to Kansas.
We're part of a homeschool group.
They recommended the Britfield Lost Crown series.
And she goes, that's your brother?
So I just thought, wow, like serendipity.
You know what I mean?
So it's pretty cool.
So there's a lot of that influence there.
We're coming to a point right now in the last six to eight weeks where I've been having a couple of conversations to, if you will, let them know what's ahead because it will have massive impact.
On their lives directly and indirectly, but also the idea of, you know, building a trust and letting them know, because with this is great responsibility, you know?
So it's not like I've, you know, got kids that I'm going to be transferring my money to or whatever, you know, all of it too.
And in fact, I have meetings in late January, setting things up and stuff.
So it is that kind of undertaking.
You asked me, I'm telling you.
But I've been having just some conversations to let them know what to expect and where it's coming.
And we just had a big family get together and those were a couple of comments that I had to just like, buckle your seatbelt because it's like, this is going to have huge impact.
Well, when you were talking, the Holy Spirit said investment.
So it's an investment you're making, a sacrifice and hard work and investment in our children, right?
And children all over the world.
And so I feel teary-eyed because the Holy Spirit, when He says things, it makes me kind of emotional.
But thank you, Chad, for investing in our future and our kids.
And so it's something you can give back that you don't have to, but you're honored to do it.
And it's going to be, you know, your honor and legacy.
So thank you.
Legacy, I like that.
It's interesting, too.
I saw that great movie, Goodbye, Mr.
Chips, like the 1940 version.
And he finally got married.
He's at this prep school in England and, you know, done it for decades.
Finally met this beautiful woman, got married, and fortunately she died in childbirth.
And towards the end of his life, they were saying, oh, it's so sad that he never had any children.
And he looked at them and says, are you kidding me?
I have thousands of children.
That's right.
Just a real sweet.
Amen.
And you do.
And you will.
And these children, like I think he's 10 years old, and he is like, all about, he's going to be so excited.
I will try the video when he opens it so I can send it to you.
But he is going to be so excited to get these books.
He doesn't know.
And so he's going, I told his mom and my sister-in-law, and she's like, oh my gosh, he's going to love some of his favorite Christmas presents.
I read a really cool comment.
I know you've got to go, but it was from online or something.
And it was a parent who said, you know, I got my daughter.
It was her birthday.
And I got her book two because she was, like, dying to read book two.
And here they are at the celebration with her friends and stuff.
And she was over in the corner reading it.
And I just thought, how cool is that?
It's like, here's your birthday with all your friends and the cake.
And she's over here, like, flipping into Brentfield Lake.
I just thought that was so cool.
She couldn't wait.
Like, I've got to say what happens.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you so much for coming, Chad.
You're welcome anytime.
We can't wait to hear the next update.
We'll be waiting for that.
Yeah, and check out our Britfield.com website.
It's great.
We have our books and our products and our school tours on there and our play and everything.
So if you're interested, we're still doing signed copies, and it's a great way to get it.
They will.
And if y'all haven't bought it and you've been thinking about, should I buy it?
Yes, go buy it.
Adults too.
It's awesome.
It's an awesome series.
So thank you so much.
And thank y'all for tuning in.
I'll see you next week on the Sue Peters Network.
I love you.
God loves you.
God bless America.
God bless America.
We don't know what's coming, who knows, but regardless whether it's a hurricane, national disaster, or the whole government shuts down, they have awesome deals on freeze-dried food.
In fact, they have a new item, it's freeze-dried cans.
It's a lot less expensive than the big barrels.
