Extracted from a collection of cassette tape recordings, journals, letters and a super retentive brain comes the first in a series of grace stories. It's a rollercoaster ride of joys and sorrows, triumphs and failures where the strong arm of God's love is the safety harness. This is a story that will make you laugh, make you cry, and might even make you physically ill. Consider it an instruction guide of what NOT to do as you read about the man, the myth, the "legend" in his own mind, in his own words.

The book is a compilation of articles I wrote for my daily blog on Facebook. The focal point is the life of the everyday, beaten-down writer and what it takes to be a writer facing the ordinary adversities of the craft. I don't try to sugarcoat anything; instead, I attempt to let you know what it means to be a functioning writer who struggles for each word, and struggles with the lack of financial and commercial success. How does the ordinary writer who works at a mundane job by day and writes by night hold it together? How do they continue to be productive? How do they continue to inspire themselves in a world that doesn't care? How do they keep themselves from becoming bored? All of this is explored in the articles contained in this small book on the creative writing process. I hope it can act as an inside look to all those interested in the subject or working in the field.

John McDermott was born October 25, 1956 in the Hells Kitchen section of New York City. His first move was when he was five-years-old to East New York, Brooklyn. There, he attended St. Fortunata Grammar School where he was introduced to strict nuns as teachers. In May of 1965 he moved to Hazlet where his dad put a basketball in his hands and its still there today. At Raritan High School, John started on the Varsity Basketball team all three years, setting the alltime single season scoring record his senior year with a 24.1 points per game average. Forty-three years later that record still stands along with scoring forty points in back to back winsforty away against Toms River North and then forty-one in a home game vs. Matawan, both were wins. The following year was even better at Brookdale Community College where he led the team to the championship game in the Region 19 tournament. The Star Ledger named John the best point guard in the state that year while earning first team all- Garden State and all-Region. Johns college career ended sadly two years later as a junior at Bloomfield College while he was always bumping heads with the coach. Despite this, he still led the conference in assists. John was married by the age of twenty-three in 1980 and within five years Renee and John had three lovely children, Lori, Val, and Tom. Today, thirty-three years later, all three have grown into successful adults and Renee has also reestablished herself in the work field. John was forced into early retirement due to his health and lives with his new puppy, Little Mac, a mini Dachshund in the Pt. Monmouth section of Middletown within a few miles of his kids who have stayed very close through the years. John is a devoted member of St. Anns Catholic Church where he volunteers to be a lecturer once a month or whenever called upon. He also goes to A.A. meetings on a regular basis. His hobby of writing letters and eulogies has started him on the idea of writing his first published book A Legend in His Own Mind and he now spends a couple hours every day in the Middletown Library to use their computers. Maybe one day he will get his own, but for now things are working out just fine, ya think!! Lastly, John still assigns refs to games and will teach 2nd and 3rd graders the fundamentals of the game.
The French police call on the Skeleton Detective when a dog digs up some human bones: “Terrific” —Publishers Weekly Les‐Eyzies‐de‐Tayac is known for three things: pâté de fois gras, truffles, and prehistoric remains. The little village, in fact, is the headquarters of the prestigious Institute de Préhistoire, which studies the abundant local fossils. But when a pet dog emerges from a nearby cave carrying parts of a human skeleton—by no means a fossilized one—Chief Inspector Lucien Anatole Joly puts in a call to his old friend, Gideon Oliver, the famed “Skeleton Detective.” Once Gideon arrives, murder piles on murder, puzzle on puzzle, and twist follows twist in a series of unexpected events that threaten to tear the once sober, dignified Institut apart. It takes a bizarre and startling forensic breakthrough by Gideon to bring to an end a trail of deception thirty‐five thousand years in the making. Skeleton Dance is the 10th book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
