Book 6 will likely be the last book in the fictional "Daughters" series. Why? Because it's too hard on me to try to tell the stories of the girls trapped in human trafficking. It requires research, meaning reading many true stories, watching videos, and then creating fiction. In other words, in a way, reliving what those girls went through. Even worse when I create a story from a girl I actually met, heard about, and then never saw again...like...well, what the hell happened to her?
Book 1 was inspired by a young girl I deeply cared about. She ran away, came home again, but I thought, "What might have happened to her?" So began the series.
As a sailor in the United States Navy submarine service, early 1960s in the Orient, mostly Japan, I participated as the so-called john. Of course, then, nobody I knew had ever heard of that word. I also would like to make it very clear that even though the women I met were prostitutes, I always thought of them as ladies and treated them as ladies.
Anyway, writing about how women and young girls are treated and used by the world—men and women both, mind you—drains me. It's heartbreaking. I've had enough.
There possibly will be one more book in the series.
One of my readers contacted me and asked me to write her true story. It's taking a while. The nightmare she experienced happened thirty years ago. In order for her to tell me her story, by email, she has to relive—so to speak—what happened to her, put it in her own words and then send to me. It's hard for her to relive it, and hard for me to write it.

Gabriella, the trafficked girl in this story, of course, is fictional, but the young girl who inspired her was real. Most of what Gabriella went through in the first pages the real girl went through in that half hour pornography video. Yes, a half hour. It has been many, many, months since I saw it, but I cannot forget that young girl. Most porn videos are 3-5 minutes. I suspect this video really was this girl's first time. They all have to have a FIRST time.
(Yes, I've watched some online pornography, and for a short time it became nearly obsessive.)
(SO BE FOREWARNED.)
She was never hurt by the woman character I named Moira. Of that I am glad. In the fiction I made Moira nice for the most part, and later not quite as nice, but not exactly mean either. You see, the video ended, but I suspect this young girl did not leave the life, not for a while. I'm also suggesting through her fictional thoughts, her viewpoint, that she comes to like what she's doing.
It has to be an absolute fact that some girls come to like that life, stay voluntarily, even enter it voluntarily. In the back of this book is a discussion of the many modeling agencies dealing in pornographic modeling; I listed a few. Young girls come to these agencies by the hundreds, and come voluntarily. And some actual agencies I suspect pick and choose what girls will get the bona fide modeling jobs and what girls will get guided—or sold—into prostitution.
Do some end up like the fictional Gabriella? I suspect some do.
For those of you who have read this series from the beginning, you know that Emma—now 22, trained in social work—is the main character throughout. In this, what likely is the last book of the fictional series, Emma appears late. She and Jacey, her attorney partner, have done well enough financially. Their human trafficking clients mostly don't have money to pay. The lucky ones have daddies, but most don't have daddies who can afford to pay, and then there're the daddies who are not in their daughters' lives.
Donations cover the ones who can't pay. In the past year since Book 5, Emma and Jacey have come across a small acreage. The rancher donated it. At any one time there are up to 12 young women living there and helping the new arrivals, plus training in horseback-riding, self-defense, firearms-handling, and growing stronger than they've ever known.
