It took a while, twelve years to be exact, to finally write the sequel to Malcom’s Measure. I’ve always kept an outline in my head despite getting requests for a sequel. It just took some time to get the fever back and pick up pen to paper and begin what has turned out to be Malcom! Malcom! Malcom Crief’s story had to be continued and to see how his measure in life turned out. He was not perfect nor are any of us, but he met up as a caring and full of gumption character where he went and whoever he met with. His actions, and unexpected actions led his life. He learned and he failed, but he always kept with his measure in life with determination. He breathed, he hoped, and he believed in something of a higher power that helped his way, which was Grace. More emotions, more situations, more tugs of the heart. Malcom! Malcom will deliver to the reader and be transferred to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
