After completing a contract with The Heritage Community Foundation as a Senior Editor and Writer from producing content for the Alberta Online Encyclopaedia in 2006, I signed a contract with Folklore Publishing in Edmonton, Alberta for the book Canadian Wartime Prison Escapes: Courage and Daring Behind Enemy Lines, published in 2007. The book was focused on the young reader, with each chapter written so they could stand-alone. This format demanded that each chapter would repeat some basic facts for the reader rather than simply referring to another place in the text.
