    About this ebook

    Things haven't gone well for Mary, the violet-haired girl. Now that she's 18, she's become a stripper. And she's being stalked by Brad, the jerk she knew in high school. But on this day, things are going to change. A snowstorm is coming in, a rare occurrence in Austin, Texas. Meanwhile, Brad is drinking beer and popping pills of purple lotus and decides to set out into the storm to teach a lesson to Mary, who he considers a tease who keeps flaunting her stuff in front of him, and not letting him touch. She sure isn't as pure as the driven snow, whatever that means, Brad thinks. But it turns out this isn't an ordinary snowstorm... This story is included in the collection, 5 Tales of Young Love.

He writes about young characters in strange situations. At times dark, silly, or bawdy, his writing owes much to such influences as Alice in Wonderland and Roald Dahl, and explores themes like disillusionment, and the corruption of innocence. If his books were movies, they'd likely be directed by Tim Burton. He often writes in a style that is a more edgy, “grown-up” version of children’s literature interspersed with his poetry and songs.Here's a short poem he wrote:O, shall I be like the lotus,And bring you dark dreams and soft sighs?Or shall I be like the rose is,Sweet-scented and tempting your eyes?For the unending sleep can seduce you,To the world behind unseeing eyes.And the beauty that beckons, then cuts you,Is also the cruelest of lies.
