I reprint the contents here:<br /><br />"Dear Sue,<br /><br />The series you mention are indeed great.<br /><br />If I may, I'd like to bring your attention to the "Leaders & Legacies" series, the latest series but with a twist. Historical fiction for ages 12 and up, the series stars none other than our own prime ministers as mystery-solving, adventurous youth. Through compelling novels about our leaders when they were 12 to 13 years old, we are bringing history to life for kids and adults alike.<br /><br />This latest installment in the Leaders & Legacies series is set in Prince Edward County, Ontario, and stars a 13-year-old John A. Macdonald in a quest to unearth the truth about two famous legends that there might be treasure left in a cave on Lake on the Mountain and that the lake itself is haunted. It also features a foreword by former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.<br /><br />I have written the first two books in the Leaders & Legacies series to kick-start things, but author contracts are now out on several other titles to sustain the series. Future titles for the series include those on a young Lester Pearson, Kim Campbell and Charles Tupper. In other words, we are setting up as a traditional publisher. <br /><br />Hope you find the concept interesting.
