    About this ebook

    Will has got a secret.

    He keeps that secret hidden in the field out back behind his house.

    Sam and Artie will do just whatever Will tells them to do because they know what Will's secret is and they'll do anything to make sure that Will doesn't lose his temper on them.

    Because you can never tell about Will...

    What critics say about **A FINE SACRIFICE**.

    "A FINE SACRIFICE is a chillingly understated story of a baseball-obsessed man's type of creep, his misogynistic outlook and the soul-warping effects he's had on the unfortunate people in his orbit." - Jim Lee, Scavenger's Newsletter (1999)

    "Steve Vernon was born to write. He's the real deal and we're lucky to have him." - Richard Chizmar, Cemetery Dance Magazine

    "If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm

    Steve Vernon

    Everybody always wants a peek at the man behind the curtain. They all want to see just exactly what makes an author tick.Which ticks me off just a little bit - but what good is a lifetime if you can't ride out the peeve and ill-feeling and grin through it all. Hi! I am Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. Along the way I'll try to entertain you and I guarantee a giggle as well.If you want to picture me just think of that old dude at the campfire spinning out ghost stories and weird adventures and the grand epic saga of how Thud the Second stepped out of his cave with nothing more than a rock in his fist and slew the mighty saber-toothed tiger.If I listed all of the books I've written I'd most likely bore you - and I am allergic to boring so I will not bore you any further. Go and read some of my books. I promise I sound a whole lot better in print than in real life. Heck, I'll even brush my teeth and comb my hair if you think that will help any.For more up-to-date info please follow my blog at:http://stevevernonstoryteller.wordpress.com/And follow me at Twitter:@StephenVernonyours in storytelling,Steve Vernon

      Why does Santa have the same writing as you?’ Alice asked. Six was such a suspicious age. I’d already had a whole series of similar questions. ‘Is Santa older than the dinosaurs, Mum?’ she’d asked me. ‘Um, they’re roughly the same age,’ I’d replied.
