About the Author

About the Author -Darin M Preston- I am currently a school psychologist in the State of Wisconsin, and a previously published author. Although my main artistic focus is to write fiction, I strive to pull from feasible, and often familiar, elements within society today. A belief that any situation can be used to teach, is something that I have taken from almost fifteen years of working with children and educators. Few things are as rewarding as seeing a young person grow in their knowledge and, ultimately, apply their own reasoning to anything in life they may encounter. Part of my motivation to write Sheldon's Song was to highlight the importance of caring for those who cannot care for themselves. Most of us have encountered people who ignore, degrade, and even despise individuals with cognitive, physical or mental disabilities. If the inhuman attitudes and values of these individuals go unchallenged, they will continue to spread and infect our society. I encourage everyone to take part in standing up for those who may struggle to stand up for themselves. The law of the land no longer needs to be survival of the fittest, but can become one of compassion. Despite what some may believe, compassion is our greatest strength. It is what makes us human. I hope you enjoy Sheldon's Song and will share your experience with others. Thank you! Darin
