    About this ebook

    Summer Vaughn never gave much thought to supernatural events like spontaneous combustion—until her newlywed husband went up in flames on their wedding night.
    House of Reptiles is a sensational dark comedy/love-story about coming to terms with the supernatural, told by a motley cast of characters each from their own unique perspective.
    Sometimes it's much easier to believe than cope.

    I'm humble, so I really don't like to talk about myself, but. I like Boston Terrier puppies and words that end in -bly. I regularly tour Port Beach's local convalescent homes and sing songs while playing ukelele. The other day, I noticed a baby hummingbird that had fallen out of its nest, and when I put it gently back, the mother thanked me by pouring its glorious nectar into my nostrils. I am the greatest man alive.
