Chapter 1 of THE DEATHDAY LETTER

Okay, so I promise that soon I'll get back to regular posting (like the fact that I'm down to 207 pounds!).  But Simon Pulse has been awesome enough to let me post the first chapter of THE DEATHDAY LETTER for everyone to see.  Follow the link below and read it in all it's glory.   And while you're there, you'll have the opportunity to read the second chapter too.  I hope you enjoy.

  9. I am just stunned. This opening is so incredible, I can't wait until it comes out. I am not going to go read Chapter 2 however, because then I'll be all upset that I don't have the rest of it. Shaun, you hit the feel, vibe, and nerve of your characters with precision. If I was impressed with your writing before, I'm literally blown away now.
