description:
My first novel has just been released. The Cinci Enquirer calls it: "A fresh look at the classic crime story." The Jamaica Gleaner says: " No doubt Kennedy can write." "Difficult to put down." and "Easily imagined as a Hollywood thriller." The Bay City times likes it well enough to serialize starting in February. On 4/4/08 www:mystery-books.com called it: "A compelling courtroom suspense thriller." and "Riveting" Check www.mysteriousreviews for more.The Bay City Times offers you a try before you buy of the book by serializing it.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for the add, it looks like you have started a brand new chapter of you life & i wish you all the best with it. I have just started to write my first novel, although I havn't lived as interesting a life as you, glad to add you as a friend.
Hi Brian! Ok, I just recently wrote a flash fiction story with unsual tense and sci-fi theme. How do I post it, without copyright infrindgement? I have nothing copywrited so I am not sure what to do about internet sharing. I am also currently in the middle of a YA sci-fi, fantasy novel as well. Please help because I'd love to share it for feedback! Thanks.
