James and Indy are working on the second book in this series which will address different types of AED's and how simple they are to use in hopes that people will not be fearful to grab one and turn it on during an emergency situation. James coined the phrase "Keep Calm & Turn the AED On!" in hopes that people will identify with how easy the operation of an AED really is - he is passionate about spreading this life saving word to as many as possible.
