Recently a friend of mine gave my book,
Billy's First Dance, a very nice review on Amazon. It wasn't solicited and I didn't ask him to buy or read it. He just did. Quite frankly, when he told me he'd ordered the book, it made me nervous. I worried that he'd think I made light of a serious topic.
The subject matter paralleled with my friend's life in that his late son had Spina Bifida. Billy, one of the characters in my book, also has this congenital defect of the spine. I created a quirky little story, incorporating a cast of characters around Billy, that portrays life with humor and sarcasm.

As always, thanks for reading.
