Reviews

Tara Nicholas :

I like the feel of this story. The character has a sense of reality to him that comes through the writing.

I especially like the dialogue and interactions of the characters. The descriptions of what things smell like was good, and the scene with the boy eating the french fries and what could'a happened was great.

Congrats on getting published and thanks for sharing the Chapter excerpt. Where can we get the entire book?
