Deadline' is the story of a young man forced to discover who he is, and what's important in life, during the short span of his senior year in high school.

My first book, 'Running Loose', was censored back in 1983 or '84. Every book I've written since has been censored somewhere.

Beware the short terminal guy with nothing to lose.

Being an outsider means not being heard, not having a voice. It means being treated as a second-class citizen, being diminished in the eyes of others. We have all felt this way at one time or another, but some feel it more consistently. Unfortunately, our schools often do not embrace the talents of many of their occupants.

Love, in the universal sense, is unconditional acceptance. In the individual sense, the one-on-one sense, try this: we can say we love each other if my life is better because you're in it and your life is better because I'm in it. The intensity of the love is weighted by how much better.

I am for anything that makes teens visible in an honest way... in other words, anything that represents them the way they are, positively or negatively.
