What a FUN book!

But things go wrong in more ways than one...

And Midnight will have to "join forces with the hated Guardian Angels."

This book is filled with humor, adventure, enemies, and friendships.

"Becoming a Grim Reaper has never been more hilarious!"



About the Author
I am from Arizona, I have four kids that I kind of like, depends on the day. I used to collect a lot of different things. Comics, baseball cards, precious stones, toys, movies, music, stuff like that. But this is what is a little weird about me. I didn’t like to read comics, I wasn’t a big baseball fan. I couldn’t tell you the difference between a sapphire and a ruby besides that their different colors. So why did I collect them? This is a bit embarrassing, because I thought I was going to get rich, by holding on to them… guess what, it didn’t work.

Before becoming an author I was a filmmaker. I made a couple of independent films and documentaries. I always believed that filmmaking was my greatest passion, but then I finally heeded my wife’s nagging and sat down to write a book. I haven’t made a movie or thought about filmmaking since. I have written two books and am in the process of writing a third. Death’s Academy is my second novel.

(A review copy was provided, however, all reviews are of my own opinion :)

  1. This sounds like a cute book! The guy's voice in the trailer reminded me a bit of Jim Dale's voice (he narrates the Harry Potter series).
