On this day seven years ago I made a promise to my step-grandfather, Sergeant Gordon Raymond Mitchell. That promise was I would make the stories I wrote for him known all around the world. 

During the final years of Gordon's life, our relationship became similar to that of Reverend and Christopher Awdry - but with the roles reversed. Due to his permanent leg injury that he sustained during World War II, Gordon would spend the day lying in bed and listening to the wireless. One day in 2000 I began writing a fiction book and offered to show it to Gordon. He enjoyed it and encouraged me to continue the story. After four years I had a series of six fiction novels, all of which Gordon loved.

After many failed attempts to get at least the first book published, I have finally decided to adapt it to animation. Over the past few months I've been converting my first fiction book into script format, production will start upon the completion of my Ranma's Declaration Of Motherhood fan project.

This one's for you, Gordon.
