Dear Reader: Read this book-if you dare-but be advised that if you do, I won't be responsible IF: You have nightmares. You have trouble sleeping at night. You're afraid to be home alone. You become afraid of the dark. You won't go near a forest. You wish you had never read this book! YOU, Dear Reader, have been WARNED. Read this book at your own risk! -The Author Donald W. Kruse lives in Mt. Prospect, Illinois with his wife of 37 years, Marilyn, and their two dogs, Itchy and Oscar. In 1981 and 1982, Donald was disabled with an illness called vasculitis. It affected his heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen and blood vessels. While convalescing at home for nearly two years, he was going bonkers with boredom. So he bought a how-to book on typing. Then he enrolled in a home-study course for writing children's stories. Today, his vasculitis is in remission, and his passion for writing thrives. He's the author of dozens of children's picture books and two exciting suspense novels for Young Adult Readers.
