Definitely a "human-preferred" job!

This is a fabulous teaser on what is likely to become the "must read" in a variety of circles. I read earlier batches of Jon's output, mostly out of admiration for his work and support of his craft, but the more I read, the more I HAD to know what happened next. Jon tells a highly compelling and incredibly timely story in a relatable and intensely human manner. The characters are appealing, and for as wild a story as it seems to be on the surface, you can't stop yourself from thinking that something like this (story) could actually happen. I look forward to its release and Jon's inevitable ascent as an author.

Well, from the author's perspective, here's what Paul actually did...he suffered through an embarrassingly rough early draft of the manuscript that was nearly twice the length of the finished product (which is still REALLY long) and - as near as I can tell - read every word because I got back edits and line-by-line feedback.

I'm not quite sure how to process the fact that he enjoyed that experience but I am SO grateful that he did it. Paul, one of the early printings is reserved for you so you can see the benefit of your work.

Thank you.
