He never dreamed how wrong he would be. His life would be changed forever and not everyone in his circle of family and friends would survive. Will his place in the shadows provide him enough comfort and safety to come out on the other end of that fateful summer?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was raised in rural Oklahoma. I fell in love with reading as a young boy. I would use the alternate reality of the book I was reading to escape the harsh reality of my childhood. By the time I was thirteen, I had read nearly every book in my small town library. I don't have a favorite genre. I like any book that pulls me into the characters' lives and takes me along with them on their journey. That is also how I write. I have worked as a farm\/ranch hand, at a full-service gas station, as a convenience store clerk, as an electrician, as a construction laborer, as a crane operator, as a fireman and EMT, spent 22 years in Oil \u0026amp; Gas operations starting as a roughneck and working my way up the ladder, worked as a bouncer in the largest Gentleman's club in Oklahoma, drove an 18 wheeler, and currently work in Information Technology. I received my BSB from Oklahoma City University in 1993 - graduating magna cum laude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 03, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42106585514119,"sku":"9781974164158","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/da524329c94922f3bdfc123658893ac1.webp?v=1732446256","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/shadow-comfort-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
