(You know someone who knows someone what can clean up this mess? Bertino's all over the place.)<br /><br />SERIOUSLY good sir, tough, tight, gritty action had me cringing and then suddenly, your talents swirled with the reflective cadence of the moon and the moon and the moon.<br /><br />Yeah. Real deal you are. For how you write. For how you constantly take fellow authors the higher.<br /><br />~ Absolutely*KateKate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-1843251637312398052011-11-14T00:20:59.301-05:002011-11-14T00:20:59.301-05:00Man, you guys sure know how to swell a guy's h...Man, you guys sure know how to swell a guy's head.

While reading this story, I felt like I was right there, seeing the poor fat kid, hearing the nasty mean cops, and (almost) feeling the pain. <br /><br />I also enjoyed the interview.I'm from southern California too, but I never, ever saw anyone wearing a stingray for a hat!

The guy is ripe for the picking and I hope some publisher out there gets a sniff of him before I force him to act himself.'<br /><br />I can't praise you highly enough, AJ. You're like one of those undiscovered reserves of oil that everyone keeps chasing. Thing is, the smart ones among us know where to find you.<br /><br />Serious talent and a seriously big human being.<br /><br />May all the sweet things you can imagine fall at your feet, Mr Hayes.<br /><br />xNigel Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529578665251906089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-35982085441699431022011-11-12T12:28:47.587-05:002011-11-12T12:28:47.587-05:00So the kid wasn't really fat...couldn't ha...So the kid wasn't really fat...couldn't happen to a nicer coupla cops.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628269009060185397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-37094341646170543462011-11-12T11:59:15.115-05:002011-11-12T11:59:15.115-05:00Wonderful and vibrant and vivid.Wonderful and vibrant and vivid.Paul D Brazillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881642426845398389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-18582928350538153372011-11-12T10:08:49.511-05:002011-11-12T10:08:49.511-05:00Noir to crimson in an instant.
