I appreciate you for displaying such insightful, trusted, explanatory and in addition easy tips about that topic to Jane.

My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

He then went on a rampage through residential neighborhoods, crushing cars, fire hydrants, anything that stood in his way. After taking the tank onto a freeway, he was finally stopped but refused to surrender, whereupon a police officer climbed atop the tank and shot the man through the heart." I believe that was an M-60 series tank, not an M-1 series Abrams. The rest is what I recall too. Sterling,

I am putting your book on my list to read as soon as I wrap some other things up later this month. Looks like something I should have read before writing my novel series. I approach recreational drug use from a different perspective in mine. Won't get too deep into it here, but I have most common rec. drugs legal in the USA in the future. The main character is in her advanced recovery stages from both Extacy and other drug abuse and the host of personality problems that brought her there. In her case, her new boyfriend is the last piece of the puzzle she needs for a support network. I have noticed an odd reaction from people who advocate legalization when I tell them that most everything is legal in my fictional future, then they discover that my characters only smoke and drink alcohol moderately, no other drugs. It is as if they cannot believe anybody would not be doing everything available if it were legal! The most extreme are the ones who seem to be under the delusion that the character Suki would not have had an abuse problem if they were legal. An attitude that I will never understand. If you get a chance, please email me? You sound like someone who could educate me a bit on both this topic and his book business. Sterling, another Amy Alkon reader here.

I liked the interweaving of the history of meth and your own story. It's amazing how bordeline's are so similar in their behaviors. Lying with ease, playing the victim, it's always someone else's fault. Able to skirt the legal system. My daughter's mother is a borderline and still has custody of our daughter. She is currently going through an acramonious divorce. No surprise there! Hope you and your son are well. Again, I really enjoyed the book.
