Crystal Grader - Tag Cavello (reading women .TXT) 📗

to hang it up for good. I even posted as much on my Smashwords page—something to the effect of I believe I am done with writing. Then I got this crazy idea in my head of Crystal killing vampires, and the whole mess started all over again.

About that—Crystal killing vampires—I went to the studio, pitched the idea…and they accepted it without a wink. Who knows why. Maybe they were sympathetic to my plight. Maybe they knew that without literature I have nothing. Or maybe they just feel the same way I do about Crystal: They love her, and they want to work with her for as long as possible.

Just a couple of other things about her book (this one) before I leave. It won’t take long.

The Jackson farm where Jarett Powell lives is very real. I lived there from 1977 to 1978. It gave me great pleasure to revisit, if only in book form. Chubby is also real, or was at least. We played together every day as only a boy and his dog can. On the day my family moved away, I cried my eyes out. I knew I would never see Chubby or that wonderful house in the woods again. But here, in Crystal Grader, I got to walk its halls once more, and even give Chubby a scratch behind the ear.

All right. I guess that’s it. Thank you for taking the time to read this book. Do feel free to leave a review. It would please me, and it would probably make those studio guys cream their shorts to know that somebody—somebody—actually made it through this thing. Goodbye. Peace and love and good will. All of that stuff.
