Let me explain:


About Press Play:


Does the truth really set you free?


Pound by sweaty pound, Greg Dunsmore’s plan is working. Greg is steadily losing weight while gaining the material he needs to make the documentary that will get him into film school and away from the constant jeers of “Dun the Ton.”


But when Greg captures footage of brutal and bloody hazing by his town’s championship-winning lacrosse team, he knows he has evidence that could damage as much as it could save. And if the harm is to himself and his future, is revealing the truth worth the cost?


With unflinching honesty, author Eric Devine explores the debatable truths and consequences of the choices we make to get through each day intact.



You’re pumped now. I can feel it. Well, if you need a fix, here are the first two chapters: http://tinyurl.com/BuzzBooks But don’t forget to enter, below, to win the prize pack.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy winning, and even happier reading :)

Her background is in zookeeping and environmental education, and she has been kicked, cornered, bitten and chased by nearly every animal she has ever loved. She currently resides in Florida, and she is now a huge fan of shooting stars, indoor plumbing and keeping both her feet planted firmly on the trail.Find out more: Website  Twitter  Facebook  Instagram  Pinterest

A. Lynden Rolland was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland. She spent much of her childhood compiling dramatic stories of tragic characters in a notebook she still keeps.
