    About this ebook

    Is it Drug addiction, Co-dependence Or love​?

    Simon has been sleepless. Only a mysterious sleep drug from a late night street dealer, seems to help. And there's Carly. It's not much of a relationship, just weeks ago he was trying to cut her loose. Now, since he's been sleeping better, they feel so right together.

    Insomnia is terrible, but when you're getting good sleep, nothing else seems important.

For the last seven years has been constructing his own house due to a deep subconscious desire to bang his head on things. He has a brown belt in Ninjukai Taijutsu and a distrust of misplaced apostrophes. Dixon James writes in many genres and has work available at all good ebook stores.
