Hey people! Here’s what you’ve been waiting for - the synopsis about my new novel, SpeedSuit. I can’t tell you why it’s called SpeedSuit without giving away more than what I want to at this point in time. You understand, don’t you? Enjoy.
-Allen Paul Weaver III -
Curtis Powers has problems, but what teenager doesn’t? Peer pressure, relationships, family issues - the usual. Since his dad died it’s just been him, his mom and older brother. Thank God for them or his world would’ve crumbled a few years back. But Curtis keeps everything in check; and when things get to be too much, he writes, throws himself into his school work and watches his real passion: Track & Field. If it wasn’t for the asthma, he’d be doing more than watching.
Now is Not the Time to Stop. As you already know, we have a new President: Barack Obama. I was actually away at meetings on November 4th and 5th and had limited access to television and the internet. (I voted at 6am on Tuesday, before going out of town.) So I heard about the results of the election, but I really didn’t get to experience them.
When I returned home on Wednesday - somewhat exhausted from the trip - I watched and recorded the 1 hour, special edition of World News Tonight, with Charles Gibson . It was amazing to view the recounting of events from around the country and responses from around the world.
Enjoy.
