About the author, D.K. Smith.

"I always loved stories as a child and as I grew older I developed a love of creative writing. After having an influx of new-borns brought into my life in 2011 (three nieces and one nephew), I was inspired to combine my two loves (reading stories and creative writing) and use them to do all that I could to see that the young minds of the new additions to my family were stimulated by fun, positive stories" says D.K. Smith. "Thus far the results have been the creation of the two most loveable pieces of footwear around (Sock and his best friend Boots) as the main characters in a new children's book series Sock n Boots," Smith includes.

"The inspiration from the new additions to my life has motivated me to see that all young minds are stimulated and motivated by expression and guess what? I have a new niece/nephew on the way sometime in 2012 so I have another young mind to try and stimulate" states Smith.

Most of the app's features can be seen in action in the YouTube video.
