We see that you published, Why Not Win? in 2019 but tell us what made you want to adapt the book into a graphic novel? What will readers gain from reading this book? How can this be applied to daily life? How did Miss Nichols change the course of your life? What are the five tenants of winning? What advice would you give to anyone who wants to win in life?
