I was the mean, angry bitch sister. I had every reason to be mean and angry. My parents and my family were being attacked while every camera in the world was aimed directly at us. #DeniseBrown @BlackstoneAudio amzn.to/4B5fLeL #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #crime #booksky

He felt the object in his palm: the thin body, the tapered head, the round and staring eyes, the antennae curled above - a tinplate cricket. You could make it jump. Snap! Lights exploded behind his eyes. @HeleneWecker @HarperBooks amzn.to/4yE5kgP #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #booksky
