This is how a book is born.

I sat down with my 8-year old and read a bad kids’ book. “We can do better than this,” I said. We haven’t looked back since.

This is our 4th book together.

It’s a 3-day wedding in a castle. The nanny cancelled. “Our boys can handle themselves, right?”

It’s a tough decision: soccer penalty shootouts out on the grass or exploring the underbelly of a medieval castle for treasure? (HINT: if you’re a 9-year old boy, this is actually a difficult decision)

2 9-year-olds and 2 11-year olds have decisions to make. In fact, they have to make lots of them. Because their dad is getting married and the nanny flaked. Their futures, their fries, their adventures are up to them and only them.

But in The Gift of Markree Castle, others are now depending on their decisions. Will the boys choose with: (a) their brains, (b) their hearts or (c) their stomachs?[/fusion_text][fusion_button link=”https://re.repossible.com/go/markree-gift” color=”custom” size=”xlarge” stretch=”” type=”flat” shape=”round” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”transparent|” gradient_hover_colors=”rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15)|” accent_color=”rgba(0,0,0,.5)” accent_hover_color=”#333333″ bevel_color=”” border_width=”2px” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”yes” modal=”” animation_type=”bounce” animation_direction=”up” animation_speed=”1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””]Order Today![/fusion_button][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_2″ last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_separator style_type=”none” top_margin=”20″ bottom_margin=”” sep_color=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”” class=”” id=””/][fusion_imageframe lightbox=”yes” lightbox_image=”” style_type=”none” hover_type=”none” bordercolor=”” bordersize=”0px” borderradius=”0″ stylecolor=”” align=”center” link=”https://re.repossible.com/go/markree-gift” linktarget=”_self” animation_type=”fade” animation_direction=”up” animation_speed=”1″ animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”no” class=”” id=””] [/fusion_imageframe][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_separator style_type=”none” top_margin=”20″ bottom_margin=”” sep_color=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”” class=”” id=””/][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_counters_box columns=”3″ color=”#5b90bf” title_size=”” icon_size=”” icon_top=”” body_color=”” body_size=”” border_color=”” animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_counter_box value=”4″ delimiter=”” unit=”” unit_pos=”suffix” icon=”fa-child” direction=”up”]Boys[/fusion_counter_box][fusion_counter_box value=”3″ delimiter=”” unit=”” unit_pos=”suffix” icon=”fa-calendar” direction=”up”]Days[/fusion_counter_box][fusion_counter_box value=”1″ delimiter=”” unit=”” unit_pos=”suffix” icon=”fa-key” direction=”up”]Castle[/fusion_counter_box][/fusion_counters_box][fusion_separator style_type=”none” top_margin=”40″ bottom_margin=”” sep_color=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”” class=”” id=””/][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container background_color=”#333333″ background_image=”” background_parallax=”fixed” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_webm=”” video_mp4=”” video_ogv=”” video_preview_image=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ video_mute=”yes” video_loop=”yes” fade=”no” border_size=”0px” border_color=”#e5e4e4″ border_style=”” padding_top=”35px” padding_bottom=”40px” padding_left=”0px” padding_right=”0px” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” menu_anchor=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_text]
