We can do it and I'm hoping that the pen is mightier than the sword. I'm going to keep writing about the ugliness of it all, hoping and...

I thought I'd put up a picture of my Grace, just to show everyone why I've dedicated all my novels to her. She's beautiful isn't she. Of course that was in her younger years when she modeled and virtually terrorized the hearts of men. Even this joker. And why she picked me I'll never know but I've never looked a gift horse in the mouth. And most importantly she's as beautiful on the inside as out. I love writing these novels of the Bob and Grace series because they are so easy when I'm around my muse. She inspires me and makes love to me with her eyes. Those blue pools I talk about so much....

ISBN: 9781530081998 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. I have fun writing this kind of book. The characters take over inside my head and all I do is transcribe. The toughest to write, of course, is the Old Indian. No one has ever called me cryptic. To me he is the main man, ever looming over everyone's shoulder waiting to jump out of the page and into your heart with a campfire, a skillet, a fire stick, and a stack of fry bread ready to heat up and eat. He's that voice in our head that tells us the right things to do. With it we understand right and wrong. Cryptic as he may be, he always leaves enough for you to know.
