HAYS, Kan. \u2013 Seth Kastle’s debut as a children’s book author received widespread national attention after his book “Why Is Dad So Mad?” was featured on NBC Nightly News earlier this year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His second book, “Why Is Mom So Mad?” is now available for pre-sale through major online retailer Amazon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kastle is a Fort Hays State University graduate and retired Army first sergeant currently teaching in the Department of Leadership Studies, primarily for FHSU’s partner institutions in China.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He was motivated to write “Why Is Dad So Mad” to explain to his own children how combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder has affected him and countless other military parents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kastle co-wrote his second book with his wife, Julia, who is also a veteran.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like Kastle’s first book, the story addresses the struggles within a military family dealing with PTSD, but this time the mother is the wounded warrior.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The captivating illustrations in both books are the creation of senior FHSU studio art major Karissa Gonzalez-Othon of Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
