About the Author
Istarted writing short stories when I was thirteen. Overthe past thirty years, I've enjoyed dabbling into the fictional lives, Icreated.Adecade ago, I decided to write a full length novel. Seven years later, aftermany rewrites, I'd completed my first mystery; P.M.S. (Power, Money, &Sex). Ithen set out to write P.M.S.; part two. Somewherealone the way, the character's name, and occupation, changed. Even the settingchanged.Threeyears later, I had completed Pushin' 40. Ibased it, in part, on my twentieth class reunion, and the fictional murder, ofa high school teacher, twenty years earlier.

Must have!
I really enjoyed this one. Wayne has definitely honed his skills. The read was suspenseful and contained everything: humor, sarcasm, politics, and slapstick.
