Repeat three times a day until spring."), and "what happened" ("-stomachache -brain freeze -love of ketchup wavering"). It's about a nameless girl who performs 11 "science experiments." Each would be a stretch to call "experiments," given that the hypotheses are things like, "A kid can survive on a diet of snowballs and ketchup." But they're really fun and what's really great is that each "experiment" is written up like an actual science experiment, with a question ("Can a kid make it through the winter eating only snow and ketchup?"), hypothesis ("Ketchup and snow are the only food groups a kid needs"), "what you need"/materials list ("-ketchup -snow"), "what to do" ("1.

We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows. We were wrong together, but always right. We were broken together, yet somehow whole. The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn't look away. He struggled to find a smile, and I refused to frown. Logan Francis Silverstone and I were complete opposites. Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe. We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.

By then he merely wanted to have a grasp on whom and what his father was. His father, who constantly supplied Dilts with the much yearned police stories, sparked his son’s interest in the police procedural genre. Tyler Dilts, whose father doubled up as a detective among other related occupations, was prompted to start writing by his penchant for juicy police stories. For his postgraduate studies, Dilts studied English Literature. Incidentally, for his undergraduate studies, Dilts pursued Acting and Directing, before a close friend encouraged him to study English Literature and Creative Writing. Tyler Dilts would have become a law enforcer just like his father, who was a Los Angeles-based undersheriff, were it not for chancing upon theater when he went to college. He is currently a lecturer at California State University. He has also co-author an anthology with a group of award-winning scribblers most notably Gary Philips. Tyler Dilts, who was born in Los Angeles, in the US, was greatly influenced by American authors James Lee Burke, Michael Connelly, Lawrence Block, and Ed McBain. Initially angling for a career in the police service like his late father before a godsend last-minute career switch while in college, Tyler Dilts is an American man of letters with several critically-acclaimed novels under his belt. |
