Dedication
Throughout our lives, we take on many personalities with the various people that we meet. My question with this story is what happens when you have so many personalities that you lose sight of your own identity? This story was inspired by an episode of Hunters, which is arbitrary save for the idea that it centers around a passport forger. I began to wonder what his life must be life, especially if he keeps making up his own image over and over. This story is dedicated to those trying to figure themselves out and are doing their best to live as their true self. Keep up the good work.

THE COASTAL VIEW
What a fantastic creation this book is. A young man who is starting to realize that his earlier years that were spent as a some times troubled some times care youth are over. It is time to make more mature decisions. A great example of today's social urban life styles. I did not want this short story to end. I wanted it to continue to explore this youth's new realizations and life in his new future.
4/5 stars - rucrazy
A very interesting read, well written. It sounds like a teaser for a novel; I would have liked it to continue through life...he gets a job, marries, lives his life, etc. Maybe there is more to come?
A PLAGIARIZED CHRISTMAS
"Very interested with the beginning of a fresh new story & character. Somehow the author seems to have a dark & troubled side to his work.. I will continue to follow his publications to see if he can pull himself out of a funk..Overall it takes awhile to get into his stories
