There are dozens of book contests, but only a handful offer genuine prize money, even fewer offer just one category: best book. My debut novel, Cooperative Lives, was one of 34 books to make this year's BookViral long list. Fingers crossed for the short list.
My second book is about a boy who has Asperger's Syndrome and is bullied to the point to where he shoots up his school. I have divided the excerpts from it into three parts: Before, during and after the shooting.
