<h4>
This will be my last post on the Story Surgeon General blog. </h4>
Far from being a sad event, this is wonderful news! I have several incredible announcements, but I'm going to start by saying THANK YOU to all those that pledged their support of my app.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Gin Nixon, Jeffry & Dawnita Brown, Heather Burdsal, Jeff & Rachel Brown, Kristy Barreto, Paul Black, Christian Dadino, Ami Clayton, Andre' Bernhardt, Shannon Hernandez, James Plotkin, Desi Lewis, and Cadmar Larson, YOU ROCK!) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Even though the Kickstarter campaign didn't raise the amount needed to fund the Story Surgeon eBook Editing App, it did cause quite a stir in the blogging world. Because of all the controversy and resulting articles, I was made aware of a similar company, who is also just starting out. (Except they have more resources and marketing know-how.) I contacted them, we had a few meetings, and we've decided to merge our efforts! They've put me in charge of their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/puremediareader" target="_blank">social media</a> and <a href="http://puremediasoftware.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a>. (Which is one of the reasons I'll be discontinuing this one.)<br />

So without further ado, I introduce you to:</h4>

I'm ecstatic to be working with these guys. They're talented programmers and have great business sense. They'll be focusing more on hiding specific content of eBooks rather than adding your personal notes/edits, but the fan fiction aspect is definitely on the the agenda for the future. Please check it out and share with your reader friends. </div>

<h2>
How it Happened (from the beginning)</h2>
<h4>
My second grade teacher, Mrs. Thuftedal told my mother I was going to be a writer, but it wasn't until after college that I thought it sounded like fun.</h4>
In 2004 I'd recently finished Half-Blood Prince and several Roald Dahl books and was suddenly filled with the desire to write my own story. I wanted to touch other people's lives as Rowling and Dahl had mine. So I started on THE EXITOR, a story of an overweight girl who learns to stop her heart and send her soul out to spy on the neighbors. It was slow going. I didn't know how to write and usually ended up playing video games instead.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, life happened. I got married and had a couple kids. Still, I plodded away on my story. I got some books on writing and devoured them. (Most helpful were <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/87931234?book_show_action=false" target="_blank">Story</a> by Robert McKee and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/90648174?book_show_action=false" target="_blank">Character and Viewpoint</a> by Orson Scott Card.) I learned many things I'd been doing wrong and a few that I'd been doing right.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zbAtlKfTTM4/UwJrFai_0fI/AAAAAAAAASw/urVJ3ZHjvHU/s1600/IMG_2043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zbAtlKfTTM4/UwJrFai_0fI/AAAAAAAAASw/urVJ3ZHjvHU/s1600/IMG_2043.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
My wife Jaida read most of my work and loved it. (She claimed that had my writing been crap, she would've discouraged me at the start.) It was mostly because of her support (and because of the overwhelming urge to create) that I kept going. Several years later I'd finally finished my 200,000-word mammoth of a novel.<br />
<br />
I queried the heck out of SLEEPING FATTY - Book 1 the EXITOR SERIES. Over a hundred agents. I received a few partials and one even liked the partial and requested the full, but in the end I was nursing my injured pride and trying to think what I could do to fix the manuscript. Jaida suggested I put my paranormal epic on hold and revisit a story I had written a few months back. (I had thrown together a couple shorts for publishing credit, but Cricket Magazine didn't want them.)<br />
<br />
So I started on AN UNCOMMON BLUE, turning the 2,000 word story into another whopper of a novel. (Over 100K words.) This time, however, I was a little more savvy with social media, I'd made a few friends in the Query Tracker forums, and heard mention of a pitch contest. That was the first I'd heard of blogger query/pitch contests and I was immediately hooked. In addition to my querying, I submitted my baby to tons of contests and received all kinds of great feedback. Here are a few of the entries I was able to find cluttering up cyber space.<br />

I know there are more, but I have to finish this blog post sometime before Christmas. :)</div>
<br />
During these contests/critiques I received tons of feedback that helped to reshape the pitch, query, and first page. With each contest, my story grew stronger. The most notable contests, ironically, were some of the first ones I entered (the first two on the list), because an R&R (Revise and Resubmit) resulted from both of them. Both <a href="http://www.literaryrambles.com/2012/05/agent-spotlight-sara-sciuto.html">Sara Sciuto</a> and <a href="http://talcottnotch.net/agents/gina_panettieri">Gina Panettieri</a> helped me identify problems with my manuscript and were extremely helpful in fixing them. I owe them both so much! If it hadn't been for the time they took to help out an amateur, my story would probably be shelved, collecting dust. The Wilde's Fire contest was also exciting because it resulted in an offer of publication from <a href="http://curiosityquills.com/">Curiosity Quills Press</a>! I wanted to accept the offer right away but the agents I was working with at the time (<a href="http://www.louisefury.com/">Louise Fury</a> gave me some great advice) said I should get an agent first and then they could decide which publishing company would be best for my career. So I declined the publishing offer (CQ was very gracious and said the offer stands) and continued to query.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Meanwhile I reconnected with Mrs. Thuftedal, who was pleased to learn of my writing goals and quickly fell in love with An Uncommon Blue. She even wrote an incredible letter to Ellen Degeneres in an effort to get me on her show. (I may share that letter at some point.)</h4>
<br />
Sara eventually passed on the project, but Gina stuck with me. In fact, since that contest in March 2012, I've been in regular contact with her at Talcott Notch and she's been awesome! At one point I thought I'd snagged her (when she set up a time for a phone call) but we just talked about how she'd liked my changes and how I needed to solidify my world by getting the history down as well as a series outline. Because Gina was such an awesome (and experienced) agent she was exceptionally busy. At times I wondered if my submissions had gotten lost in the shuffle. Curiosity Quills was still anxious to publish me, and I was torn between waiting for Gina and starting the process with the small press.<br />
<br />
That's where I was last month when my wife's friend Candace told me Cedar Fort was looking for submissions. Candace goes to our church and is a producer for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Frame7Productions">Frame 7 Productions</a> as well as a talent manager. Before she'd even told me about the call for submissions, she'd contacted her friend at Cedar Fort and told her about my book.<br />
<h2>
I submitted An Uncommon Blue, and a week later received an offer of publication! Now I had some seriously hard decisions to make.</h2>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I had two publication offers (actually three, but one seemed suspicious) and an awesome agent (Gina) who I assumed would eventually take me on. But at the moment it was Candace who had naturally fallen into the agent role. She seemed as excited about the offer as I was, and with her contacts at Cedar Fort, was already finding out specifics about the contract and what it would mean to sign with them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<h4>
After thinking and praying about what to do, I decided I'd rather have an inexperienced agent with loads of enthusiasm and time for me. I asked Candace if she would consider being my literary agent. After doing a little research, she agreed, and that is how I ended up signing two contracts in one day. Candace has been an awesome help getting my social media up and running and Cedar Fort hopes to have AN UNCOMMON BLUE out for this Christmas!</h4>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I will forever be grateful to Curiosity Quills, Gina, and all the other professionals and bloggers that took the time to help me along my journey. I'm especially grateful to my second grade teacher, who--a quarter century ago--knew what was in store for this shrimpy little blond kid.</span></div>

SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">PG-13</span></h2>
<br />
Weighing in at a whopping 1007 pages, this is not an undertaking for the novice fantasy reader. Nor is it a novel for children. Although the language is tame by usual adult fiction standards, there is enough violence to give your twelve-year-old nightmares.<br />

<br />
Although parts seemed to drag on, Sanderson generally does a great job of keeping the stakes high and the characters flawed (yet likeable). I'll definitely be looking for the second in the series. I still haven't figured out at what point I'll let my children read it, though.<br />

This is noteworthy because, once the building is dedicated only those members of the church who are in good standing can enter.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.lds.org/bc/content/ldsorg/church/temples/gilbert-arizona/images/gilbert-arizona-temple-02-large.jpg" height="236" width="400" /></div>
<br />
So what do we do in there that's so secret? Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints visit the temple to be instructed and to renew promises we've made to God. (Such as keeping the commandments and trying to emulate Christ through service to others.)<br />
<br />
Inside (and only inside) we wear distinctive clothing that symbolizes our relationship with God and our duty as His children. We treat this apparel with great respect and keep it private because of its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
In case you're wondering, I'll be making my point soon.<br />
<br />
Last week I went with my family and some friends (not Mormon) to tour the interior. It was a very peaceful experience, but coming out of the parking lot, my wife and I noticed a man on the corner of the busy intersection. He was wearing the distinctive white temple clothing over the top of shorts and a t-shirt, while holding a sign that read: THE DEVIL'S HOUSE.<br />
<br />
It was an unpleasant shock to say the least. My wife felt sick for a while afterward. It was disturbing to see something so special to us being made fun of.<br />
<br />
Now the point. What the man was doing was perfectly legal. He wasn't hurting anyone.<br />
<br />
But was what he was doing <i>moral</i>?<br />
<br />
Depends on who you ask. The man surely thought he was doing the public a service by warning them against the Mormons. To me and my wife, it felt very amoral, indeed. The vast majority of people, however, would probably not have an opinion one way or the other.<br />
<br />
Here's another example:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.workinghomeguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/paparazzi-storming.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Should the paparazzi harass celebrities the way they do? Is it morally right?<br />
<br />
Depends on what we're doing at the time. In movies, when a star is pestered by impolite cameramen, we think, "What a bunch of jerks. They shouldn't be allowed to do that." Meanwhile, on our coffee table, sits the latest issue of US Weekly.<br />
<br />
Trying to define morality is like trying to determine whether the metric system is more useful than feet and inches. Everyone has an opinion and each thinks theirs is right.<br />
<br />
Author and blogger <a href="http://www.victoriastrauss.com/" target="_blank">Victoria Strauss</a> (among <a href="http://www.theindependentpublishingmagazine.com/2014/01/story-surgeon-serious-app-for-readers.html" target="_blank">others</a>) has <a href="http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2014/01/story-surgeon-app-for-copyright.html" target="_blank">expressed concern</a> that the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/storysurgeonapp?ref=settings" target="_blank">Story Surgeon eBook Editing App</a> may violate the moral rights of authors. She suggested that because my <a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-most-important-blog-post-i-will.html" target="_blank">reasons</a> for developing the app were moral in the first place (I wanted it to take the mature content out of books for my kids), that it was time I addressed the moral rights of the authors who's works this app would affect.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. The very definition supplied by one of my <a href="http://www.thepassivevoice.com/01/2014/story-surgeon-an-app-for-copyright-infringement/" target="_blank">detractors</a>, illustrates how illusive the concept is. "The scope of a creator's moral rights is unclear, and differs with cultural conceptions of authorship and ownership..." The Moral Rights Basics <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/property/library/moralprimer.html" target="_blank">page</a> goes on to list what <i><b>may</b></i> be included in the author's moral rights, such as preventing her work from being altered without her permission.<br />
<br />
In other words, a three-year-old with a crayon <i><b>may</b></i> violate the author's moral rights. A <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/12/bilbo_baggins_is_a_girl_until_children_s_books_catch_up_to_our_daughters.html" target="_blank">mother</a> changing Bilbo's gender for her daughter, <i><b>may</b></i> violate them as well.<br />
<br />
According to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention" target="_blank">Berne Convention </a>(which was quoted to me with great enthusiasm in the comments section of Victoria's article) if an author feels any of these acts are "prejudicial to [her] honor or reputation" she can bring legal action to the perpetrators. In Europe at least, they can apparently prevent a ten-year-old girl from putting stickers over the bad words before she lends the book to her friend.<br />
<br />
Are you starting to see why the Berne Convention isn't recognized in the US? It's an ethereal concept that's impossible to define fully or enforce. (Unless you're going to install cameras in all the books to make sure there's nothing going on that would adversely affect the author's vision.)<br />
<br />
The one who tauted the Convention's ideals made it sound like Europe was on the cutting edge and it was only a matter of time before the US recognized how important it was to legislate the enforcement of an author's moral rights.<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
The US is very familiar with the Berne Convention. (It's been around since 1886.) The reason they don't enforce it is the same reason the don't send the police to arrest the man with the DEVIL'S HOUSE sign. It's the same reason they allow the US flag to be burned in public.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/BurningFlagWikimedia.jpg" height="320" width="232" /></div>
<br />
<br />
We may not agree with it. We may think it's in poor taste. It may infuriate us. (It does me.) But to a mother who lost a son in Vietnam, it may be the most moral thing she knows.<br />
<br />
So what does the Story Surgeon App have in common with a teacher skipping pages of a book as she runs out of class reading time? Everything.<br />
<br />
Yes, my app allows readers to make changes more easily, but<i><b> they</b></i> still do it. Through the act of searching, downloading, and applying the filters, they are making these changes to their own property. Will the authors feel that this is prejudicial to their honor and reputation? Maybe. But at least in the US, that's beside the point.<br />
<br />
Now in the first half of this blog post (that's right, it's only half over!) I've no doubt come across as an extremist, prone to hyperbole, with no sympathy for an author's feelings or rights.<br />
<br />
This is not accurate. I feel passionately about our rights as Americans, but I also feel passionately about writing. As an author of three (unpublished) novels I know how our works become like our children. We are protective of them. If I'm honest with myself, the idea of someone not appreciating my vision and possibly changing my words is disturbing.<br />
<br />
But just as I didn't yell out the window at the guy on the corner, I won't delude myself into thinking I can control how people receive my books.<br />
<br />
<br />
Almost done, I promise. There is one other reason I think The Story Surgeon App is All-American.<br />

<br />
As someone recently reminded me on <a href="https://twitter.com/mike_holm/status/427248742945665024" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, Thomas Jefferson was dissatisfied with some parts of the Bible. He didn't just move on to something else that interested him more (as some have suggested I do) he took the time to make <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible" target="_blank">changes</a> to <i>someone else's</i> work because the book already meant so much to him. Although I don't agree with what he did in a religious sense, (and I certainly don't use the Jefferson Bible), I know exactly why he did what he did. And he had every right to do it.<br />
<br />
For that matter so does every religion that has their own distinct copy or "translation" of the Bible. If Moses and Paul could see all the changes that have been made to their history, they might feel their honor and reputation had been harmed. They certainly wouldn't be happy about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.christians-standing-with-israel.org/Biblical-prophecy.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />
But it is precisely because so many people copied the book and made it their own that is has become the single most widely read book in the world. (Of course I think the content also had something to do with that.) But the Bible was the original "living" book.<br />
<br />
The only difference is, if Story Surgeon had been available in the first century, in addition to having all the various versions of the Bible, each one of us would have the original, and Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John would be trillionaires.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.planeta11.pl/images/Neil-Gaiman-6-Sm.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></div>
<br />
Neil Gaiman seems to understand the importance of giving fans a little freedom of their own to create. Although he was <a href="http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/21746253134/neil-gaimans-opinion-on-fanfiction" target="_blank">speaking</a> of fan fiction, the principles are just as applicable to Story Surgeon Filters:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
".... I do understand that there are gray areas, and I think of fan fiction as existing in them. I know authors who love fan fiction based on their characters. I know authors who have formally attempted to stamp it out. I'm just sort of [shrug] about it.....As long as no body's making money from it that should be an author or creator's, I don't mind it. And I think it does a lot of good." </blockquote>
<br />
And most important:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"But I'd hope you'd see it as a privilege and not a right."</blockquote>
<br />
Great authors have used their talents to inspire and teach the entire world. There are very few who can do (well) what they do. Despite my tough talk about entitlement and my own rights, I have a deep respect for artists and authors in particular. And I will comply with their wishes in regard to their works.<br />
<br />
If the Story Surgeon App is determined legal and becomes a reality, it will not allow users to make filters of books who's author has expressly denied their permission. Also, to prevent misuse and piracy, the app will not allow the user to save the filter any place but on the main sharing site, where illegal filters will be flagged and removed.<br />
<br />
Some people will be satisfied with this. Many won't. But until the world can decide on which version of the Bible to believe, I'll be making each book my own. Be it with a complicated app, or a Sharpie.<br />

I just returned from my grandpa's 90th birthday party. This is him as a Merchant Marine in WWII.</div>

Here's another picture of him taken about a year ago. One day I hope to be half as amazing as him.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Sadly, while Grandpa Chuck was recounting war stories this evening, it was hard for me to give him my full attention. I was thinking about <a href="http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2014/01/story-surgeon-app-for-copyright.html" target="_blank">Victoria Strauss's article</a> and feeling mildly sick. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually grateful Ms. Strauss took the time to write such a thorough analysis of my <a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/2014/01/my-filmmaking-debut-and-two-awesome.html" target="_blank">Story Surgeon App</a> idea. Copyrights, censorship, and fan fiction are all very touchy subjects and it seems my <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/653574353/story-surgeon-the-app-for-fixing-someone-elses-boo" target="_blank">kickstarter campaign</a> has stirred up a passionate debate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The <a href="http://accrispin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Writer Beware blog</a> presents a compelling argument against the legality of my app, while others on <a href="http://www.teleread.com/copy-right/story-surgeon-app-copyright-infringement-or-fair-use/" target="_blank">TeleRead</a> and <a href="http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2014/01/23/story-surgeon-new-type-fair-use-copyright-infringement/#.UuH10xDn_cs" target="_blank">The Digital Reader</a> claim it successfully skirts the copyright laws. (While <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/12581.Cory_Doctorow?from_search=true">author</a> <a href="http://craphound.com/" target="_blank">Cory Doctorow</a> says "There is no way that it is a copyright infringement--or even a bad idea--for readers to choose, privately, in what order they read the books that they lawfully possess." Find his response to Strauss's article <a href="http://www.sfwa.org/2014/01/story-surgeon-app-copyright-infringement/#comment-160193" target="_blank">here</a>.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To me, the question of whether the app will be (or can be used for) copyright infringement is moot. If the court (or a lawyer I trust) tells me what I'm proposing isn't legal, I'll cease and desist. The real question is what authors feel they have to lose by "allowing" this app to exist.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I explained the debate to my dad tonight he seemed confused. "What's in it for you?" he asked. I think what he meant was, "Why are you putting yourself in the line of fire and setting yourself up for possible litigation when you're not even going to charge for the app or the filters? Why would you risk that?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I gave part of my answer in my <a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-shoddy-sequel-inspired-me-to-spend.html" target="_blank">last blog post</a>, although perhaps I was a little harsh on Mr. Rothfuss. Despite my dissatisfaction with parts of his second novel, I still enjoyed it immensely. (I gave it a four-star <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/482511268" target="_blank">review</a>.) But what this book brought into conflict was my love of great literature and my love of the gospel of Jesus Christ.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I hesitate to bring religion into this since many do not share my beliefs or values, but I think to understand why I would champion such an "app for copyright infringement" as Ms. Strauss called it, one needs to understand my dilemma.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are many people that are passionate about books. They live and breathe the fictional worlds of their favorite authors and those author's words are sacred. Even if those words are disturbing or vulgar.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are many people who are passionate about keeping their minds and bodies pure. They believe this life is the time to prepare to meet God and as such, try to avoid (or help their kids to avoid) amoral influences or media that could make it difficult to feel the Holy Ghost to guide them. For them, the answer is a no-brainer: Stay away from books with mature content.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The problem I'm facing is that I'm firmly entrenched in both groups and feel like I'm being ripped in two. There is so much great literature out there (especially when you read books intended for adults) that has profanity, graphic violence, and explicit sex. Things the majority of the literary world would just shrug at.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For years, the way I coped (and the way I believe many other conservative readers cope) is to buy exclusively YA lit. Generally books written for young adults have less mature content than those for an older audience. However, this is becoming less true of late. In my own reading, I've noticed a significant increase in adult content in books marketed toward teens. While some applaud this as a triumph for free speech, others (like this <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303657404576357622592697038" target="_blank">WSJ children's book reviewer</a> see this is as lack of judgement on the part of adults). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://world.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ColorPurple2.jpg" height="200" width="132" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This app idea (I thought) would be the tool that bridged the two sides. Why complain to the school and get The <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11486.The_Color_Purple?from_search=true" target="_blank">Color Purple</a> <a href="http://bannedbooks.world.edu/2011/03/20/banned-book-awareness-color-purple-alice-walker/" target="_blank">banned</a>, when you can simply download a filter that will tweak the content to make it more appropriate for your child. Isn't that what the TV networks do when they substitute "freak" when the movie character is obviously saying something else? Young students can still learn the great lessons and appreciate the historical (and social) significance of this powerful book without being fully exposed to the darkest sides of human nature. When they've matured, if they choose to read the original, it will be an informed decision. Not one forced on them by teachers who don't hold their values.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was selfish in developing this app. I wanted to find the best books out there and tweak them a bit, so my friends and family (most of whom are very conservative readers) can enjoy them as much as I did. In my own mind, I was helping to enlarge the market for authors such as Patrick Rothfuss. (It makes sense to me, seeing as how owning a <a href="https://www.clearplay.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Clearplay</a> DVD player allows me (and thousands of others) to watch movies I wouldn't otherwise rent.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So the question isn't "Why is Ryan Hancock trying to mutilate these authors' visions?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rather it should be, "Why would Ryan Hancock choose an author's vision over the teachings of his God?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The answer is that I wouldn't. Despite my love of great stories, if I was told I could not develop the Story Surgeon app I would have to give up many of my favorite books. Neither would I feel I could recommend them to my friends. Many will see this decision as extreme or fanatic, but if I'm forced to choose, God will always win. This may seem trite or even offensive to some who worship a more liberal God, but the <a href="http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2003/10/let-our-voices-be-heard?lang=eng&query=media" target="_blank">teachings</a> of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank">Mormons</a>) are not exactly ambiguous. We need to stand up for values that have long since been devalued by the world in general. I intend to do that. And I intend to do it legally.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite the heated opposition, I believe this app to be legal and what's more, to be of benefit to authors and families in particular. If you don't agree, I'd appreciate hearing your side. Please feel free to share your reasons in the comments section. For those who agree with me, please make your voice heard. There aren't a lot of us out there feeling torn between our books and our beliefs, but there are enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I hope there are enough people out there who although they might not share my particular beliefs or values, can at least see my Story Surgeon dream not as hate mail to all those published authors, but as the most sincere and heartfelt fan letter I've ever written.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It all began with <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/482511268" target="_blank">The Wise Man's Fear</a>. The book is the second in Patrick Rothfuss's fantasy series, and he <b>completely botched it</b>. He took the character I loved and turned him into an unrecognizable thief and womanizer. He filled an obscene number of pages with obscenities and completely random sex. The first book could be considered PG, the second was R, bordering on NC-17. Even the violence had suddenly crossed genres into horror.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
WHY!? I asked myself many times. It could have been my new Harry Potter. I would've shared it with the world. (I already had shared <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/226401178" target="_blank">Name of the Wind</a> with everyone who would listen to me.) But this? How could Rothfuss think this was a sequel?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Over the years I'd searched for a eBook "clean-up" service akin to <a href="https://www.clearplay.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Clearplay</a> (for DVDs) and been disappointed. It was Wise Man's Fear that clenched it for me. There needed to be a way for me to make the sequel into the book it was supposed to be. There had to be a way for me to clean up my favorite novels, so I could let my mom and little brothers read them (without losing their innocence.)<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/724724/photo-full.jpg?1382206592" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Photo-full" border="0" height="240" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/724724/photo-full.jpg?1382206592" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There wasn't. But there will be. I started my own development company. I've hired a team of programmers that assure me this can be done. On a small scale at first. IPad only, with file sharing on Dropbox or GoogleDrive. Then we'll branch out. We'll get our own servers and make sharing easy. I know it will change the way we read books. The only question is<b> when.</b></div>
<h3>
<br />If I manage to raise $15,000 in the next thirty days on Kickstarter, I'll add $1,500 of my own, then the app can be finished by May. It will be available free of charge for an extended period allowing the user base to grow quickly. More users mean more great filters, more ratings, more platforms.</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But if my grassroots campaign isn't enough, it will take longer. I'll take out a loan. I'll have to charge for the app. The user pool will grow slowly. There won't be as many shared filters to try out. I'll become obsessed with creating the needed filters and neglect my family and job. I'll be fired, lose my home, computer, and most important, my internet access. The Story Surgeon General Blog will fizzle and with it, a dream that might have changed the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
And so I ask for your help. Not to donate, (although do that if you want) but to spread the word. The most important thing is to get this to people that feel as passionate about it as I do. People that have been looking for a way to live in their favorite books, or to protect their kids from mature content in literature. You find those people and they'll make sure this happens.</h3>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">His Majesty's Dragon is the first installment in the 9-book Temeraire Series. The characters were well-rounded, and there are some unique and lovable aspects of the world (specifically the relationships between the captains and their dragons). The setting was excellent, complete with historic realism in dialogue.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Since it is set in the British military during the Napoleonic Wars, some sections read like a war report. Discussions on battle can get a little heavy and hard to follow. This makes the book ill-suited to younger readers. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Swearing in the book is limited to antiquated British slurs, like "blast." There is no explicit sexual content, but there are adult themes like illegitimacy, as well as some innuendo that leads to a relationship of "sleepovers." The author tastefully skips over any nighttime scenes.</span></div>

This past week I've learned of two separate companies (<a href="http://www.cleanteenpublishing.com/" target="_blank">Clean Teen Publishing</a> and <a href="http://www.thrivingfamily.com/Family/Media/book-review-archives.aspx" target="_blank">Focus on the Family</a>) that are dedicated to helping parents make informed decisions about literature for their kids.<br />
<br />
Sound familiar? Turns out they do a much better job than Story Surgeon General. The timing couldn't be more perfect, however, since with the launching of my kickstarter <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/653574353/1626194626?token=126fc7aa" target="_blank">project</a> on January 16th, this blog will focus less on book reviews and more on the iPad app and filter sharing. (Although I still plan to spotlight specific books and their content.)<br />

Although I'll be discussing the Kickstarter project again in a few days, I wanted to share this promo video that I made with my kids. (I think you'll see why I wasn't accepted into the BYU film program.)

SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">PG-13</span></h2>
<br />
With the recent release of the movie, The Book Thief is receiving a lot of attention. Although I only made it halfway through, (not a huge fan of literary fiction) my blogger friend was awesome enough to share her review. Here is Dr. Bradford's review:<br />

Whenever it came up, all I heard was “…a book set in Nazi Germany…” and I tuned out. Like most of the world, I want to forget such times of pain and suffering. Choosing to believe in a world where people are kind and loving, I shy away from the tales of ugliness and heartless humanity. However, I also understand that to forget is a disservice to those who suffered, died and survived. They deserve to be remembered, and in remembering we have a greater chance to prevent such atrocities from happening again. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;" /></span></span>

It only took three days, and I enjoyed it. All of it. The suffering, the pain and ugliness was there, but it took second seat to the love that filled the main character’s lives. Liesel, Rudy, Hans, Rosa, Max. I knew what was coming, but Zusak allows you to feel the little joys, hopes and small acts of kindness that allowed people to continue living. A snowman in a basement, accordion music, silver eyes, a boy with yellow hair, and the power of words. Yes, my heart was broken in the end, but I shared something larger than myself, and hopefully came away with a small piece of the hard learned lessons of those dark years. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;" /></span></span>

Small acts of kindness often mean the most. When death finally comes, will you be one of the souls that sit up and come lightly because “more of [you] has already found [its] way to other places”?</span><br />

SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">R</span></h2>
<br />
Set for publication at the end of January, Red Rising is a dystopian novel in the vein of Hunger Games. Although the advance reader copy (ARC) I received in exchange for a review may be subject to change, I've recorded all the material that readers (and parents) should be aware of. (And there is a lot.)<br />

People made to murder others: Brutal beating (to death) of one of his friends, pulling someone down by their feet (Mars' gravity isn't enough to hang someone without help) and the snap of their neck, stomping on someones trachea until death, beating of girl with sticks, the sounds of a girl's throat being cut described in detail, Darrow beats his teacher unconscious with elbows to the head, someone is stabbed four times in the eye socket, talk of braiding entrails, sword fight ends in death but the stabbing continues.">Violence - <span style="color: orange;">Heavy</span></a><br />

Blasphemy - Darrow is once jokingly referred to as Lord and Messiah. At another point, three people are hung up on crosses as torture. A genetic engineer says, Someone has to dot God's i's.
Much disrespect of authority. The teachers in particular are portrayed as incompetent or self-serving psychos.">Adult Themes - <span style="color: orange;">Numerous</span></a>

<br />
Red Rising tells the story of Darrow, a seventeen-year-old from a slave class that sets out to undertake his own brand of social reform. The result is bloody, disturbing, and strangely gripping. It's not to the level of horror, but more like a gritty war tale. Definitely not appropriate for younger teens. It makes Hunger Games seem like Saturday morning cartoons.<br />

SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">PG</span></h2>
<br />
As a rule, I don't read romance novels. This one was recommended by my wife and for the most part I enjoyed it. Not sure if it's strictly YA romance. Although the main character is 17, she's dealing with love and marriage issues that make her seem much older. (Until the end when she turns into an irrational basket-case, but that's just my distaste for romance talking.)<br />

<br />
Other than a little shirtless moment (him, not her) and some disrespecting of parents (they sorta deserve it) this is one romance you could read out loud to your grandma in church.<br />

(About <a href="http://www.shelf-awareness.com/issue.html?issue=2152#m22578" target="_blank">53%</a> more than last year.) This year alone, groups of people in 29 states are fighting to get certain books banned from their school district.<br />
<br />
Whether this is a result of parents and leaders getting more assertive, or as a natural reaction to the increase in mature content in books, the result is the same. People are angry on both sides. According to a <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/book-censorship-cases-on-the-rise-kids-right-to-read-project_b81098" target="_blank">Galley Cat </a> article, one of the books being disputed this year is The Color Purple by Alice Walker.<br />
<br />

<img alt="1100590" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359754687l/1100590.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Although I have not read THE COLOR PURPLE, my wife attempted it and I scanned a few pages. All I know is that there was some disturbing sexual abuse going on and quite a few F-words. If any followers of this blog have read this book, it would be helpful if you could tell us about your experience in the comment section.<br />
<br />
Although the upcoming Story Surgeon eBook editing app will probably not completely satisfy anti-censorship advocates, it will certainly go a long way to bridge the gap between the KRRP and concerned parents. (More on the app later.)<br />
<br />
I've included a list of the most frequently challenged books in 2012. According to the <a href="http://www.ala.org/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10" target="_blank">Office for Intellectual Freedom</a>, out of 464 challenges, these ten were reported the most. Have you read any of them? Do you think the objections are valid?<br />

Orson Scott Card is an active, outspoken member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He's almost combative in his stance against gay marriage and often shares his testimony of the restored gospel with the world in general. However, the content of his books doesn't always portray the wholesome, family-friendly values that the LDS church espouses. In fact many of them contain graphic violence, sexuality (including rape, pedophilia, and homosexuality), as well as profanity.</div>

Now, this blog isn't about trying to figure out why an author writes a certain way. Its purpose is to help parents make informed choices. With that in mind, I'll present a brief overview of the books I've read by Card, to give you an idea of which books are okay for your teens and which you might want to leave on the shelf. At least until the Story Surgeon App is ready. </div>

The only works I can think of that might be G rated are his books on writing. (Which are actually very good resources for those wanting to learn the craft.) Although there may be an occasional minor expletive. (Not that your preschoolers will be reading this one, anyway.)</div>

<br />
The PG category contains most of Card's religious work. The WOMEN OF GENESIS series does contain some tastefully done intimate scenes and they might be better classified in the PG-13 category, but because my mom read them and didn't object, I'm going to go with the lower rating.</div>

Pathfinder was supposed to be Card's first crack at the YA genre. He does tone down the mature content (although he still manages to fit in his mandatory crotch reference), but besides that, it's indistinguishable from his adult works. (Unless you count characters acting more like children.) I actually really enjoyed the first in the series. The second was too full of pointless bickering and meandering plot for me to recommend.</div>

I was surprised to find that this spin off (or prequel) to the Ender books was actually cleaner than the original books. I loved Earth Unaware, but gave up on Earth Afire (which is nothing like the first.) In these, you only have to worry about some minor swearing and some mild violence.<br />

This fantasy series that was supposed to be loosely based on the life of Joseph Smith, the Mormon Prophet, starts out tame enough, but by the end books, the violence and sexuality get pretty graphic. A promising story, that grows increasingly convoluted until even Card couldn't bring it all together for the conclusion. A sad way to finish a series. (Even without the rape references.)<br />

Ender's Game was the first I read of Card's novels and I loved it. Just watch out for violence and sexual references. For specific content see the SSG <a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/2013/10/enders-game-pg-13.html" target="_blank">review</a>. The Shadow Spinoffs are hit and miss. Most are about the same level of content as the main series.<br />

Saints was a surprise for me. Although fiction, it portrays real events and people in a way that make the early leaders of the Mormon church seem like imperfect humans dedicated to a greater cause. I'd recommend it for older readers, however, since there is violence and the intimate scenes involving early church leaders, although tastefully done, may be jarring.</div>

So, in conclusion, Card is a powerful storyteller, (when he manages to form his plot into a cohesive whole) but doesn't have much of a filter. If anyone would like to add to, or correct anything in this post, please comment, or email me. In the mean time, proceed with caution. Especially where your kids are involved.</div>

This is an older fantasy that my brother recommended. The profanity is mild, but what you have to watch out for is the violence. Several people die in brutal/bloody ways. Although you don't generally see it happen, he describes the blood and the mangled bodies ("nearly ripped in half" sort of thing.)<br />
<br />
Overall, I found it interesting but couldn't relate to the I-don't-know-what-I-want-but-I-like-to-whine main character. The stats presented here are for the first half of the book. (I made it to 7 of 11 CDs before I gave up.) But unless there was a surprise sex scene at the end, this should give you an idea if you want your teens reading it.<br />

For our first guest post, I'm pleased to welcome Surgeon J. Brown. Her review of BERENSTAIN BEARS AND TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD reminds us that there are other things we need to watch out for in kid's books besides sex, violence, and language. Although Dr. Brown appreciates books that teach healthy eating habits, she points out how well-meaning adults (or authors) can inadvertently cause food issues, which can lead to complexes, low self-esteem, and eating disorders. Thank you, Dr. Brown, for sending in your review! We still need many more guest bloggers. There are a lot of books out there and only one (now two) of us. Email your reviews to storysurgeongeneral (at) gmail (dot) com!<br />

All Our Yesterdays is about a pair of kids that go four years into the past to murder someone destined to be a villain. It's an interesting moral dilemma and brings up thought-provoking issues. Unfortunately, the plot isn't quite as thought-provoking. <br />

Several years ago I picked up the first Fablehaven book at random from the library. The first half was okay, but near the end I found myself getting genuinely freaked out. Not that it was violent or disturbing, Brandon just did a great job making the story seem real. I decided to give the second book in the series a try and I'm glad I did. (It was much better than the first.) Thus began my like-alot-affair with Mr. Mull. I've read most of his books and there's nary a swear word to be found. Nor is there anything sexual. The only thing parents might need to watch out for is mild fantasy violence and kids disobeying their elders. The covers below each represent entire series, so if you find you like Brandon's style you'll have enough material to last you through adolescence. (Or your midlife crisis.)</div>

SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">G</span></h2>
In general, the Fablehaven books get better as they go. (Although #2 will always be my favorite.) The Candy Shop Wars I enjoyed least, and I still haven't read the sequel. The first and second books in the Beyonders series were phenomenal (if you can overlook that stupid hippo) although by the third book, Brandon's horrible prose and meandering plotting was starting to get to me. The book still sits half finished in my locker at work.<br />

In all of the series, kids often show bad behavior such as bickering and disobeying guardians, but there’s usually a lesson to be learned. There are demons in Fablehaven, but nothing overly dark or satanic. (He does a good job making it seem sort of cartoony.)

<br />
I reiterate, the writing in these books is sub-par. Don't expect to be intellectually stimulated. Brandon does a whole lot of telling instead of showing and he loves him some adverbs. But if you're not a lit-snob like me, you shouldn't have any trouble losing yourself in the incredibly creative stories.<br />

<br />
As you can see from these awards, the <a href="http://www1.k9webprotection.com/" target="_blank"><b>K-9 internet filter</b> </a>does a great job filtering internet and gives parents total control without being overly complicated. The best part is that<b> it's completely <span style="color: #38761d;">FREE</span>!</b> It can also be downloaded as an app (a web browser) on phones and tablets, which is how many teens access mature sites. Keep in mind that you have to put additional restrictions on the mobile devices along with K-9. (For example, with an iPhone, you have to go into Settings > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions (put in password) Then disable Safari and any other browsers.)<br />

<b><a href="https://www.clearplay.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">The Clearplay DVD filtering system</a></b> requires purchase of their DVD player and a monthly subscription, but my family has found it completely worth the price. Month to month, it's $7, but the price gets less expensive as you buy time in bulk. The fact that I'm so cheap and still want to support this company shows how awesome it is. I mean, it turns rated R movies into PG ones! (Admittedly, there are a few skips and mutes, but the filters can be adjusted for your age/maturity level.)<br />

<br /></div>
If Clearplay is too much trouble or money, try the <b><a href="http://www.kids-in-mind.com/" target="_blank">Kids In Mind website</a></b>. My blogger friend, <a href="http://motherwrite.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Krista VanDolzer</a> told me about it and it seems even better than the screen-it website I mentioned in my first post. Basically, this site will tell you<b> (for free) </b>exactly what content is a specific movie. Keep in mind, however, they shoot ads at you (it's really annoying) in order to get you to pay for the ad-free version. It you're like me, however, no amount of ad-free-ness can make up for the free-ness.<br />

SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">PG-13</span></h2>
<br />
With the movie opening Nov 1st, Ender's Game is the #1 selling book on Amazon. Although Orson Scott Card's breakthrough novel is relatively tame compared to other adult sci-fi, there are a few things parents should be aware of.<br />
<h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/p/enders-game-content-page.html" target="_blank" title="OSC generally avoids the harsher swear words and chooses to pepper his with the ocassional h*ll, d*mn, b**ch, and b**tard. The only words I remember from this book were crude crotch references. (d*ck, b*lls.)">Language - </a><span style="color: orange;">Mild</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/p/enders-game-content-page.html" target="_blank" title="As a prank a student programs the iPad-like *desk* to show male genitalia. Boys make crude comments about Bean such as: He could walk under my legs without even touching my b*lls.
Boys steal six-year-old Ender's clothes, forcing him to run around naked in public.">Sexuality - </a><span style="color: orange;">Moderate</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/p/enders-game-content-page.html" target="_blank" title="Ender's brother Peter tortures squirrels and otherwise acts like a psychopath. His sister Valentine is scared for her life at points.
There's a lot of school-yard fighting. Fights are disturbing and even more so later when you learn....
(see content page for spoiler.)
">Violence - </a><span style="color: orange;">Moderate</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://storysurgeongeneral.blogspot.com/p/enders-game-content-page.html" target="_blank" title="A lot of bullying and various abuses of small children, kids outsmarting their (supposedly) less intelligent parents, locker room talk, and there's a whole political portion with Peter and Valentine that will go over the heads of younger readers.
">Adult Themes - </a><span style="color: orange;">A Few</span></div>
</h3>
<br />
The first time I read this was in college. Card is a master storyteller if he can manage to keep his plot in a straight line. It's easy to fall in love with Ender and easy to see why this novel rocketed Card to fame and fortune. What's less easy to see is why an author so opposed to gay marriage fills his books with references to the male genitalia. This book is appropriate for most older teens. As for the rest in the series, they are less kid-friendly. Not because they have more adult content (although some do) but because the stories get more political, philosophical, and family-drama-esque.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Dear Story Surgeon General,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gail,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thanks for your letter. I hope you don't mind that I edited it a bit for brevity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's easy to see why troubled teens turn to books like this. There is something extremely comforting to know there are other people out there with problems like ours (or even worse that ours.) I imagine that's why authors keep pumping these books out. They have an audience, and they think they are helping trouble teens everywhere to feel validated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303657404576357622592697038" target="_blank">WSJ article</a> I quoted in my first blog post, Ms. Gordon addresses this issue as well:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The argument in favor of such novels is that they validate the teen experience, giving voice to tortured adolescents who would otherwise be voiceless. If a teen has been abused, the logic follows, reading about another teen in the same straits will be comforting. If a girl cuts her flesh with a razor to relieve surging feelings of self-loathing, she will find succor in reading about another girl who cuts, mops up the blood with towels and eventually learns to manage her emotional turbulence without a knife.<br />
Yet it is also possible—indeed, likely—that books focusing on pathologies help normalize them and, in the case of self-harm, may even spread their plausibility and likelihood to young people who might otherwise never have imagined such extreme measures. Self-destructive adolescent behaviors are observably infectious and have periods of vogue. That is not to discount the real suffering that some young people endure; it is an argument for taking care.</blockquote>
<br />
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My two centavos:</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think these types of books can accomplish good. They may foster sympathy for people with mental illness, help teens to feel they're not alone, and perhaps even inspire them to find light in their world.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However, the question is whether the books also skew reality and make it seem as if the destructive behavior is normal. I've read books where a person who committed suicide becomes a sort of hero victim. The dangers of glamorizing suicide are obvious. Even if the authors are trying to discourage bullying or encourage kindness at school, inevitably some teens will finish the book with the resolve to leave their own bitter legacy.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.4em;">Example: Nothing makes the news faster than a school shooting. But the massive coverage gives the illusion that it's much more common than it is. Factor in the dozens of novels on the subject and suddenly it becomes an option for any student with a grudge and access to weapons. They know at the very least they'll get their name all over the news. They won't be so alone in their pain.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.4em;">I see these angst books as a band-aid on a gaping wound. The pain these kids are feeling is </span><span style="line-height: 1.4em;">very real, but a novel with graphic themes is not going to solve much. The real issues need to be brought out in the open and dealt with. Trouble teens need to turn to parents or other adults they can trust, rather than to a sensationalized version of their own struggles.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I suppose it's up to us to be those adults they can turn to.</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
SURGEON GENERAL RATING - <span style="font-size: x-large;">R</span></h2>
<br />
Released earlier this week, REALITY BOY is being marketed as a contemporary YA/Adult crossover. Contemporary Young Adult means no magic, futuristic technology, or running for your life. Typically these novels move at a slower pace and center around buzz topics such as abuse, suicide, disability, sexual orientation, or terminal illness. (Usually with a side of romance/sexual coming-of-age.)<br />
<br />
The term "crossover" means they're expecting the adults to enjoy this as much as teens, but in this case, it seems they're also using it as a license to fill this children's book with adult content. Although<b> I only made it through the first third</b> of the book, the stats I collected so far should give you an idea of whether you want to buy it for your teen.<br />

Reality Boy is about a boy's struggle to overcome the emotional damage he received as a child TV reality star. For those that don't mind the coarse content (or lack of external plot), you'll probably fall in love with the characters. A.S. King writes well and with compassion. It's an important book as far as addressing mental disability and the necessary role of parents. I just wish she could have done it with a few less F-words.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As a father of four kids under seven (your sympathy is appreciated), a reader of mostly young adult books (that has to do with my own maturity level), and a compulsive writer, I find myself juggling many opinions and priorities when it comes to literature. Let me start by saying I didn’t intend for this blog to be controversial or get anyone fired up. And I certainly don’t want to come off as self-righteous. I just want to fill a need.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It started out harmlessly enough. Since I’ve got my own soon-to-be-published YA novel, I knew I’d have to get out of my antisocial little cave and make some online friends. The only problem was what to offer in return. Most wouldn’t really care about my writerly journey. (Like, oh my gosh, I got 3,000 rejections and then someone finally didn’t hate my manuscript! *insert squee here*.) I thought about offering parenting or writing advice, but since I haven’t been proven effective in either of these areas, I might end up getting sued. Or worse—embarrassed on Facebook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Then I remembered a website called screen-it.com. Back in the day it was a free resource, advising parents of the questionable content in popular movies. My wife and I are conservative when it comes to media, so we used this site periodically to determine whether we’d enjoy certain films. (Nowadays the website charges, so we take our chances…did I mention we’re cheap as well?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">That’s when my brilliant idea hit me. Why not offer a tool to parents who want to guide their kids toward wholesome books, but don’t have time to read every YA novel in the library?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">At this point, some of you will be preparing your vocal chords to scream YOU EVIL CENSORING PIG!!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Let’s make one thing clear: I don’t want children to grow up illiterate or hate reading. But I do believe children are more impressionable than adults and can be shaped negatively by the media they take into their trusting little brains. Rather than starting a campaign to get certain books off the shelves, I’m simply giving those parents who still take an interest in the emotional development of their children a free resource to make their job a little easier. (Emphasis on little.)</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">But is protecting kids really necessary? In fifth grade, my cousin first showed me a bad word in a Michael Crichton novel. I was intrigued and ended up reading Jurassic Park in its entirety. (It’s still one of my favorites.) Now as an adult, I don’t use that particular bad word, so I guess I’m living proof that one expletive isn’t going to turn you into a serial killer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Neil Gaiman feels the same way. In a recent <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/oct/15/neil-gaiman-future-libraries-reading-daydreaming" target="_blank">lecture</a> at the Reading Agency he said:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: white;">“I don’t think there is such a thing as a bad book for children. Every now and again it becomes fashionable among some adults to point at a subset of children’s books, a genre, perhaps, or an author, and to declare them bad books, books that children should be stopped from reading. I’ve seen it happen over and over;<b> </b><span style="border: 0in none windowtext; padding: 0in;">Enid Blyton</span> was declared a bad author, so was <span style="border: 0in none windowtext; padding: 0in;">R.L. Stine</span>, so were dozens of others. Comics have been decried as fostering illiteracy. It’s tosh. It’s snobbery and it’s foolishness."</span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">On the other hand, Meghan Cox Gordon, a children’s book reviewer for the New York Times had this to say:</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">"Every year the American Library Association delights in releasing a list of the most frequently challenged books.[…] "It almost makes me happy to hear books still have that kind of power," Mr. Alexie [an author of one of the books,] was quoted saying; "There's nothing in my book that even compares to what kids can find on the Internet."</span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Oh, well, that's all right then. Except that it isn't. It is no comment on Mr. Alexie's work to say that one depravity does not justify another. If young people are encountering ghastly things on the Internet, that's a failure of the adults around them, not an excuse for more envelope-pushing.”</span></span></blockquote>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ms. Gordon <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303657404576357622592697038" target="_blank">goes on</a> to give specific, disturbing examples from YA books (books aimed at 12 to18-year-old readers) and the backlash from this article was legendary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Gaiman’s article, too received a lot of attention, most of it positive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This blog is not trying to determine who’s right (although I have my own opinions) and I’ll not necessarily be trying to convince anyone to take my standards as their own. This blog is, however, for those that want to err on the side of protecting their children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I think Gordon picked the worst of the worst to comment on, and Gaiman picked the tamest of books to suit his own needs. Increasingly, those that side with Gordon are getting fewer and farther between. This, I think, is one reason why this blog is needed. Conservative readers need to stick together and support each other. We need to know that although we are the minority, we still have the right to protect our kids. It’s not censorship. It’s responsible parenting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">So here’s the plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I’ll use this blog primarily to review YA books. Those reviews will deal with general quality, but will also spell out specific content that parents should be aware of before buying the book for their teen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Since I don’t get a huge amount of reading time (did I mention I have four kids under seven?) I’ll be needing your help with this. When you read a book (YA or otherwise) keep track of the content as best you can and share it with the rest of us. You can either email your review to me at storysurgeongeneral at gmail or you can contact me about doing a guest post. Either way, the more of us reviewing, the better prepared we’ll be when we take our kids to the library.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I’ll also be using this blog to promote an app that I’m developing. It’s called the Story Surgeon Editor, and when it’s finished, will allow parents to remove or change content from eBooks and share their filters with the world. (More on that later.)</span></div>
