Hugh Hardy has been working on this novel for approximately two years. It is my first attempt at writing a novel. I have been writing and rewriting the storyline to insure that the story flows smoothly and keeps the reader's attention as to what will the next page will bring them. My educational background is in business and marketing from Birmingham-Southern College and this has given me an open mind as to how I may want my book marketed and to what audience.
