I also like drawing one or two frame cartoons, making short documentaries and I am finishing up writting a song I wrote about how I feel about the Iraq War.\", said Justus. When asked how he got started writting Justus replied, \"I think I always wrote something but after I met Russell Banks at a book signing, that got me thinking that is what I want to do when I grow up.\" Justus added, \"Kids don\'t really read as much as they should, only when the teacher makes us for school. I like reading at home also.\" How did he find aa publisher? \"I told my Dad I wanted to get a book published and he told me it will be hard to get published so keep looking until you find someone to publishe your book. My family really helped me. I asked a lot of publishers but they all said I was too young or they did not reply. Dad came home one day from work and said his boss told him about iuniverse. We called them and they seems happy to help me. Before I knew it, my first book was published. It is hard work and when it come time to edit and fix the mistakes, that is the worst part. I learned a lot about writing a book like, make sure you keep going through it and make the changes as you write, but I really like the Kyle Oaks books and have great ideas for the third book.\" He also gave this answer when asked who came up with the cover illistrations for his books. \"Kyle Oaks: The Fight for the Throne was done by iUniverse and the Kyle Oaks:The Unknown Threat was done by a friend of mine who like to draw and wanted to do the cover, so I told him what I wanted and he showed me what he did and I sent that to iUniverse. My friend\'s name is Max Paul, he is 10 years old also and I am happy that he got a chance to do the cover for me.\" If just being an author at ten years old is not just enough, Justus has already recieved a \'Shining Star\' award from ACAP (Adirondack Community Action Programs Inc.) which help kids that need help get ready to start school with there headstart program in which Justus was a student there.
