Praise for Murdering Mr. Edwards:

“If you’ve ever taught in a high school, attended a high school, or even driven past a high school, you will enjoy Murdering Mr. Edwards.”

Chris McMahen, teacher-librarian, author of Box of Shocks, Tabloidology, & Klutzhood

“A clever, funny and totally  engaging noir-vella! Loved it!”

Diana Gabaldon, author of Outlander

 “If you have never, ever considered murdering someone, then you have never worked in a high school.”

    For me that a great writer like you reads my crazy and not very well written is an honour.
