MY FINAL POST

I've decided to shut down my blog. On average, about 10-15 people read my posts. While I am deeply grateful for those loyal followers, it's just not worth the effort to maintain this blog.

My blog's archive will remain online. However, to receive updates on my books and Skyrocket Press, please subscribe to my newsletter. Thank you.

Got 1/4 through and found it dull and the characters flat. Focused too much on teen sex and drug use. I loved some of his other books but this one was disappointing.
