      A Big Thank You to April Brown for posing for my cover and Jonathan LeDuc for helping me critique News Worthy.

      Authors Note: I couldn't help but write News Worthy. I rarely watch the news, but I have felt surrounded by it lately and caught many strange clips on the same day. I put those daily clips together to give the news a different spin. This makes the news a little more imaginative and interesting for me. Enjoy.

He did have a nice house with a
