I liked this one. It's got a couple of writers in it.I'm a young guy, still live at home. Yeah, I know, get a life. But I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do.I know I want to be a writer, have for as long as I can remember.I've always felt writing is my strongest suit. I hope you agree. Story ideas can walk into my head like strangers at Thanksgiving, and before I know it, I'm fleshing out characters, plotting some pretty evil schemes for them to fall into, and hearing lines of prose...But until I become famous, got to earn a living. I work for a company that repairs big rigs. I'm the runner. If they need a part of a tool, it's my job to get it. Not glamorous, but it's a living.One of my jobs is keeping the property mowed.During a Florida summer breathing makes you sweat.You'd think I was certifiable, cutting the grass with an old push mower in the blazing afternoon heat. It's a huge piece of property and takes all week. By the time I'm done, it's time to start all over again."Job security" is what my dad calls it. "Perpetual motion through redundancy" is what I call it..Anyway, that's how I discovered the body, or what was left of it.Like I said , it has two writers in the story. The other one is Doug Robbins. He's a crypto-zoologist traveling through Florida on the trail of the Skunk-Ape. Ever heard of it? It's the southern version of Bigfoot.After hearing about the dead body, Doug suspects the skunk-ape may be involved. He's here to finally get proof it exists and hopes to write a book about it.The two young men hatch a plan to get said evidence of its existence and that's when it gets hairy! Pardon the pun.Troy can condense a story and make it have such an impact. I felt like I knew these guys. And a story about writers, the struggles they go through and how far they'll go to write that story is interesting and fun. You get two different views from two writers.Visually written. You'll feel like you're there, looking into the woods, and wondering what may be looking back at you.Nothing less than Five Stars will do!I purchased this book for free from Amazon.
