Q: What gave you the inspiration for the Northwood Meadows Lifestyle?
I created “Northwood Meadows – Lifestyle” (NWM) to be a simple form of expression on the daily issues with our everchanging culture.
The book is a collection of stories to show the innocence of animals in response to the complicated emerging human problems we deal with daily, and how the Northwood Meadows crew react to the complications to the overall changes of our dynamic society.
