  I wrote I Was Made Special for two reasons: For anybody who was born with a disability like me, to reassure them that just because they were born differently than everyone else: doesn't mean that they aren't any less special. Also to try and discourage other children from bullying their peers. I hope this book help teach the importance of having high self-esteem as we all follow this journey and try to learn a few things along the way

  Doorstep by Keith Laumer - The general was bucking for his other star—and this miserable contraption bucked right back! 
  Steadying his elbow on the kitchen table serving as desk, Brigadier General Straut leveled his binoculars and stared out through the second-floor window of the farmhouse at the bulky object lying canted at the edge of the wood lot. He watched the figures moving over and around the gray mass, then flipped the lever on the field telephone at his elbow. 
  "How are your boys doing, Major?" 
  "General, since that box this morning—" 
  "I know all about the box, Bill. So does Washington by now. What have you got that's new?" 
  "Sir, I haven't got anything to report yet. I have four crews on it, and she still looks impervious as hell." 
  "Still getting the sounds from inside?" 
  "Intermittently, General." 
  "I'm giving you one more hour, Major. I want that thing cracked." 
  The general dropped the phone back on its cradle and peeled the cellophane from a cigar absently. He had moved fast, he reflected, after the State Police notified him at nine forty-one last night. He had his men on the spot, the area evacuated of civilians, and a preliminary report on its way to Washington by midnight. At two thirty-six, they had discovered the four-inch cube lying on the ground fifteen feet from the huge object—missile, capsule, bomb—whatever it was. But now—several hours later—nothing new. 
  The field phone jangled. Straut grabbed it up.

  “Why is this happening to me?”  
  Maybe that’s a question you’ve asked yourself. If you have, you are not alone. 
  I’ve faced many battles in my life. I have survived eight heart operations, four of which were open-heart surgeries. I have nearly died on the operating table three times, and I was repeatedly told I would never physically excel...and yet, after much blood, sweat, tears, and prayer, I fulfilled an unimaginable childhood dream! The fact that I’m still alive and well and have achieved what I was told would be impossible is a journey I believe needs to be shared. My story is one of faith, healing, and, above all, hope. 
  Danny Covey lives in Embrun, Ontario, Canada, with his fantabulous wife, Carly, and their three children – Grant, Layla, and Carter. Danny is a creative renaissance man who fills his time as a graphic designer, illustrator, marketer, art instructor, and amateur video producer. dannycovey.com
