Will the Kindle edition of Zenith ever be updated to include the photos? I was most upset that the photos are not included.

McP, when I first saw your book's title, that 'Z' word made me think of the Zodiac. To represent him with a heart of compassion -- even while he faced the slings and arrows of character assassination, plus 'guilty' before proven innocent -- took great courage. CS Lewis stated, "Courage is not simply one of the virtues. Courage is the form of every virtue at its testing point." WHO inspires you & gives you courage?
McCracken Poston Jr. I was not always patient with Alvin. For several months, I was extremely frustrated. There was a moment that I felt challenged by former political opponent who I thought was being harsh to Alvin. So, maybe not courage as much as spite!

Hello McCracken. Who's my cracker? hehehe. You have the coolest first name! I admire your service to Georgia + work in authoring the "Ethics in Government Act of 1992." I wrote this short article for the Magna Carta's 800th Anniversary and asked. "What offers more lasting direction: Character Ethics (Virtues) or Code Ethics (Laws)? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/magna-carta-800th-anniversary-john-r-naugle-888-/
McCracken Poston Jr. Thank you, and thank you for sharing your article. McP

I saw you on American Justice, probably when the episode was close to new, and never forgot your name because it was so unique. When browsing giveaways I immediately recognized your name and the association and case behind it. All this time later, could you tell me the history behind your unique name?
McCracken Poston Jr. Hello! Because I am McCracken, King Poston, Jr., I have to take you back to 1923 to a modest house in Middle Tennessee, when my father was born. My grandmother, who named her other three sons John, Doug, and Cal, looked at the tiny baby and worried he may not live. When the doctor came by, he also prepared her that her tiny infant would probably not make it through the night. She unloaded a bunch of family last names on the poor kid, to honor those families, thinking they would be soon on a tombstone. My father rallied and lived for 85 years, and the last of his six children, and his only son!

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
McCracken Poston Jr. If it were just travel, and not being stuck there, I think it would be interesting to explore the worlds created by H.G. Wells.

What books are on your summer reading list this year?
McCracken Poston Jr. I just read and very much enjoyed "Bone Deep." I wish that I had "Untypical" twenty-five years ago, which could have helped me understand my client in my book.
