Oh yeah, and wasting time on facebook apps like farmville. Shame on me.

Story Behind The Book
I wrote this book for my son who was tired of seeing me with romances. I tried to get him to read a YA book that I had just read, but when the story started with the main character's name he put it down and said he hated that. I told him every book couldn't start with the word blood. But he wondered why not. I said, "Blood oozed from the corpse's ear". My step-son then said he'd like to read that book. So I finished it from that one word blood and gave it to them as a Christmas present. Two years later, I found a home for it at FIDO publishing.
