Free First Chapter of The Dead Guy

I forgot to mention that anyone can go to HewittsBooks and open a FREE PDF file with the first chapter of The Dead Guy.

Why not give it a quick read? It's a short chapter, and if it doesn't hook you, fine. But you might find that you need to read on ...

Thanks!
