Thanks to everyone for that voted for my book "Time Killer". I am available for any questions or comments you might have.

[Kalena]

I just purchased it--it is great to have an opportunity to discuss it with the author. Thanks!

[Diane S ☔]

Bought is for my Nook.

[Vonnie]

thank you all for voting for the book I nominated. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author. He states at the very end that is the first of the Max Larkin detective series and if this book is any indication of how he writes I know I will be in for some exciting reads coming up.

Sounds interesting, worth a try. Always interested in what might be a new 'favorite' series for me ... and I think I can already empathize with the killer!

[Jessica]

I'm disappointed we're reading this book. I couldn't finish it; tried a number of times.

[Todd]

Thanks Sheri, I hope you enjoy the book. Feel free to ask me anything at all.

One of the common questions I get from readers is how did I come up with this story. I'll answer it right now for anyone that is curious.

I came up with this story based on a dream that I had on my honeymoon 3 years ago. I actually woke up at 2 am after having the dream of a man standing over my new wife and wanting to kill her. I was unable to help her because I was tied to the bed, very helpless and scared myself. Once I actually woke up from that dream I sat in bed for a few moments and decided to write it down. 2 1/2 years later it became a book. That dream is actually the first chapter of Time Killer.

I hope to hear from anyone and everyone out there. Even if you didn't like the book. Constructive criticism is always welcome. I'm a first time author and I'm always looking to improve.

thank you for the compliment of "Snappy Writing". I appreciate it. I'm sorry that you didn't appreciate the story in the beginning. I understand your point and respect your opinion to not finish the book.
