I loved Grant's voice in this book. His character was a lot of fun to follow, particularly as he suffers so much angst over potentially missing a chance with his best friend. There's a lot of interesting stuff about gymnastics, most of which went over ...more |

“On my way to the parking lot, in quick succession, I saw students wearing t-shirts which read, “Save the whales. Collect the whole set,” “Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now,” and “Half the people you know are below average.” Typical for the Eastern student body.”

I'm honored to be on your favorites list. Thank you.James Thompson
Hi Neil. Thanks so much for Friending me here. Lovely to catch up with you. How's the writing going?
Congrats on the release - it posted a little early. I've been waiting for this one.
Will do, Lori, once it's available at Amazon (in about a month or so). Right now it's only at the Loose Id website.
Neil, congrats on the new release! Gonna add it to Goodreads? :)
Thanks so much! I love Liam and Aidan too and am always glad to hear that others do! The third book in the series, Teach Me Tonight, sends them on assignment together to a summer study program in Bizerte, on the Mediterranean coast, to protect a student who has been threatened. Aidan rediscovers how much he loves teaching, and Liam's friend Joey shows up... leading to all kinds of complications! It's in the copy edit stage now so should be out in the next month or two.Best,
Neil
thank you so much for the friend acceptance Mr. Neil :)Tame
