Sam explores the meaning of celebrity after he is the lone survivor of a rare drive by shooting in his hometown Waukaponeda.

While inspired by true events and actual people, fame is still an incredibly curious thing. It means different things to different people in different places around the world. Fame is not the same in New York and Los Angeles as it is in Dowagiac, Michigan or South Bend, Indiana.

About the Author

Working at a grocery store for over 12 years now, working every position there and becoming one of the managers of a corporate chain store, I have seen and heard it all in the retail/service world. I had to get those stories, thoughts, feelings, and ways to escape out of my head. I had to write not out of compulsion but out of a love of writing.

I grew up in a small town in Southwestern Michigan (coincidentally a town that no one that visits knows how to pronounce correctly), originally attending school to become a music therapist but the tapping of the keyboard was more addicting and found myself attending Andrews University in Berrien Springs, MI.

I play the drums, I love wearing ties, and I will eat all your Oreo's.
