SINCERE THANKS

  Special thanks to my editor, Anthony Szpak, who has been instrumental in creating this Perfect world. I’d also like to thank my father, Michael Tullius, and sister, Mary Nyeholt, for being the extra sets of eyes, catching errors and making sure it all makes sense.

  Thanks to Don Currie, whose conservation sparked “30-Day Program,” and to all the readers and reviewers for their support and encouragement.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  I’m a father and a husband, a brother and a son. I’m an Ivy League grad who worked in a warehouse, an MMA fighter with too many defeats. I’m the bouncer and bodyguard, the drunk guy in the fight. The jailer and the jailed, the guilty and innocent.

  I’m a writer shaped by influences, too many to count. I grew up on King and Koontz while force-fed the Bible. I narrate Dr. Seuss and Disney nearly every night. Like you, I've seen things I wished I hadn’t, heard some truths I won’t forget.

  Writing is my heavy bag, the sparring partner that doesn’t punch back. It’s where I shed my armor and cast off the blindfold, take a look at myself and the world around me. The writing takes me wherever it wants. Dark alley or dinner table, classroom or morgue. I go along for the ride and try to capture the moment, show life like it is.
