About the Author

John and Barbara Dorgan are entrepreneurs who have mostly centered their creative writings in magazine short stories and articles, newspapers, ghost writing and advertising copy, political literature, media rebuttals, and venting to common-sense-challenged political figures. In the transition from community volunteers in social and business organizations such as Jaycees, Elks, YMCA, Chamber of Commerce, PTAs, youth coaching, scouting, Toys For Tots, an alumni association, serving as a political office holder, and a plethora of other committees, to now becoming community activists, John and Barb have become more aware, more active, and more vocal. With a clear understanding of what is happening in the world today, they ve taken a position on crimes taking place online and in texting, which are endangering and negatively impacting people, especially children. Barb s brother Jeff is of like mind on both texting and instant messaging. One day in conversation, he told us that a book was needed to address this subject. He suggested we write it and we agreed to... hence, THE CODE!
