KILLER OF KILLERS not for Kids

KILLER OF KILLERS will be my debut novel. And I am very excited about that. But it's not for kids, and I can't talk about it at my work. Because I'm a Middle School teacher. KOK has a lot of violence. Not over the top violence like some books or a Tarrantino movie. But there is a lot of killing. Well the title is KILLER OF KILLERS so you figure there's killing. As for sex, there is some, but again, not over the top or graphic. I don't believe in that.

Nevertheless, KOK, I would think, warrants an R rating, which means it's not for kids. Definitely it is NOT a YA or MG novel. So whenever any of my students ask about it, I always tell them they can't read it until they're eighteen. Too much killing, I tell them.

Now, THE VASE is not a YA or MG novel, either. But I don't think it would qualify as an R rating. I think THE VASE would be a PG rating. That one may not be for kids but it could be read by kids, no problem. When that one gets published, then I'll be able to promote it at school. As for KOK, that one would be for teachers and parents, only.

    Hello Mr. D - I have travelled here by way of Nathan Bransford's site; I was checking out his Twitter @Reply tutorial - which was quite helpful.

    I've taken a look around and must say...you are quite a talented artist - having a daughter, who is a Designer in Animation, I can safely say that!! Your writing is also intriguing..and I will be topping up my beverage and doing a little reading.

    I have added myself as a Follower...as I will be back.
