I'm a Teacher, after all...

So now that it’s all about waiting for news on THE VASE, I’m back to work on KILLER EYES. I have to say Trent Smith is a real hero. I mean a really great hero. And not just because he’s the main character of both KILLER OF KILLERS and KILLER EYES. No, he is truly a quality guy. He doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t do drugs, and he never has. He actually hates drugs, and he can’t stand anyone who does drugs. Which makes the stories all the more interesting because the plots of both KOK and KE revolve around a drug. A wonder drug. And he can’t seem to get away from it. Such is conflict, eh?

In case you’re new to this blog, Trent Smith is the world’s greatest martial artist. He was trained in Japan in the world’s deadliest art. Budo Ju Jitsu, or Bu Jitsu for short. And he is quite the athlete – a real acrobat, even, because the stunts he performs in these two books are quite phenomenal.

Yeah, he's moody, but who isn't?

And although he’s a killer, he will never hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it. Yes, there are so many mean people in this world, unfortunately, and outright evil people. I'm talking about murderers who think they are above the law. And life seems to mostly favor the bad guys. It seems that the good guys die young, and bad guys live on. Well when Trent Smith is around, things even out, and I can dig it.

Why?

Because that’s the kind of story I like to read. And it’s the kind of story I like to write. I'm a teacher, after all, and I hope the world can learn a thing or two from my stories.

In my KILLERS series, you learn about karma. You know – what comes around goes around. And in THE VASE it’s coexistence. PEACEFUL coexistence, that is. Like why can’t we all just get along, right? And hopefully, after reading my books, people might start believing it’s something we can do.

If we try.

That's all.
