If you don't pick up this book ASAP, you're missing a terrific bet." - No. 1 Kindle bestselling author Shane Gericke, TORN APART"Gripping and fun...can't wait for the next chapter." - Emmett Williams, Mission Man Media“Was hooked right from the beginning. A world in which dolls have not only an inner life but a truly rich, engrossing outer one complete with kick ass magic fights. What an original and wonderful concept with some remarkable depth. Wish I had a voodoo doll growing up. This is gonna be the next big thing.” - John Hartman, Actor and Author, Sept. 24, 2012.“I read "Schooled" having little previous knowledge of what it was about and limited exposure to Voodootown, but I was quickly transported to a cool new world where dolls are badasses and us humans owe them a huge debt of gratitude. I found myself quickly invested in the characters and engaged in the mythology, magic and action. In short, I wanted more. Did I mention these dolls kick all kinds of ass? Looking forward to Twister and Janey's next adventure and finding out more about Voodootown's creative cast of characters!” - Jason Hefter, author, “Hump Day”"I still remember the slings and arrows of my teen years.
