*his* first story. ooops. title: Blue Boy

and btw, can you post this review on Amazon, too? There are only two up there, and with a small press like this, its not available at the chains. Even better, we should all urge our indie booksellers to carry it. :)

The novel, Safe in Heaven Dead, is also a must read.
