Can you tell us a little about Sopo Hatches?
The book follows the life cycle of Sopo the Frog, a cute little red-tree frog hatch in the Amazon rainforest. The story is full of colorful rainforest animals that play together in love and harmony. The book emphasizes the importance of education, respecting friends and family, practicing good hygiene habits, and taking care of our planet.What motivated you to write the book?
Sopo Hatches was originally written to be a freebie and promotional item given with the purchase of our patented packaging, the Sopo the Frog (S’tick O’n P’ull O’ff) Dispensers that contains children’s 3in1 organic-natural shampoo, conditioner and body wash. People that read the manuscript thought it was so creative that I should publish it on Amazon. So, instead of giving the book away with purchase we are giving a Sopo the Frog bath mitt.

What do you like to do when not writing?
I’m a 78 year old veteran Navy fighter pilot, former advertising career followed by 33 years as a Realtor. Seven years ago got the idea for the SOPO Dispenser packaging/wall dispenser. Between my active real estate career and SOPO’s thousands of hours of research and development, the process of patenting SOPO and securing the Trademark, Better for You. Better for Earth. I spend about 80 hours a week.
