My first book attempt

Hello fellow writers,

I just wrote my first book a few years ago and I would just like to shamelessly plug it here.

http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/johhnys-secret/6335237?productTrackingContext=search_results/s...

It is a dark comedy and I was just looking for some feedback. You can definatley read it in a day or two, and I promise you one thing, no I guarantee you one thing, this book will be more fun than a Jerry Sandusky sleepover.

Is it deliberate that the title on the book's cover is Johhny's Secret (with 2 x h) and the title inside is Johnny's Secret (1 x h and 2 x n) (and character inside is called Johnny ??

 

Or that the book's cover names the author as Sean Dickens and the title page inside says the author is Kurt Gustavsen?

[ Edited ]

Sandusky is an "alleged" pervert at Penn State.  In the US news.

Re: My first book attempt

Jerry Sandusky is a retired assistant football coach who coached at Penn State University in Pennsylvania.  He also founded a charitable organization and worked with young people. 

He has been accused of sexually molesting some boys.  At this time, he has not been tried in a court of law, and so it is not known whether he is guilty of the accusations, and it is not known whether he is a sick pervert. 

Sadly, in modern America, if you are accused of committing certain crimes, your guilt is automatically assumed by the press, and therefore by many people who can't be bothered with waiting until the facts are proven before passing judgment.

Sandusky may be guilty as charged, but it is also possible the accusations made against him are false.  If the latter proves to be the case, though, it won't matter--he will forever be tarnished, and his life ruined.

Hopefully, those who have already convicted him will never find themselves falsely accused of heinous acts.

Re: My first book attempt

True enough, we should wait until all the facts come out and a trial is started.  I guess as the mother of two boys I just think there is something wrong when a grown man showers with young boys and wrestles with them there (Sandusky's own words).  I guess we need to see how he addresses the accusations made by the 10 boys (now men).
