My name is Jacob Underwood. I am eighteen years old and I have Asperger's Syndrome. That's the old name. The new name is that I am on some sort of spectrum. It makes no difference to me what the doctors want to call my condition. I have it.
I work at Webb's Studio. I repair stained glass panels that are old or have been broken. I can also duplicate any of the painted images on the glass. My best customer is the big church downtown. They have ordered duplicate windows to replace some of their rare panels. They have worked it out with the owner of the glass shop to order a new one every year.
Her name is Savannah Webb. I was apprentice to her late father and she has kept me working. That's good.
My best friend is my service dog, Suzy. She is the main reason I can work. She has my inhaler in her pack because I don't always remember to put it in my pocket. Suzy never forgets. She gives a warning when I am about to have an anxiety attack.
Working is important to me. It gives helps me control myself and I also enjoy working with my hands to help restore beauty back to broken stained glass works.
I love my work don't you?

About Down in Flames:
A fatal hit-and-run in front of Savannah Webb's glass shop proves to be no accident. . .
A highlight of Savannah's new glass bead workshop is a technique called flame-working, which requires the careful wielding of acetylene torches. Understandably, safety is a top priority. But as Savannah is ensuring her students' safety inside, a hit-and-run driver strikes down a pedestrian outside her shop.
The victim is Nicole Borawski, the bartender/manager at the Queen's Head Pub, owned by Savannah's boyfriend Edward. It quickly becomes clear that this was no random act of vehicular manslaughter. Now the glass shop owner is all fired up to get a bead on the driver--before someone else meets a dead end . . .

Cheryl Hollon's books always seem interesting. It is on my bucket list to work with stain glass to make some suncatchers for my house. Can't wait until I can get my hands on the latest in this series. robeader53(at)yahoo(dot)com

ReplyDeleteGlass work is so creative and beautiful. Thanks for this lovely feature and giveaway. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI have been a fan of this series for a number of reasons but one is that I am happy to read about characters that are dealing with “issues”, our 12 year old grandson has high functioning Autism and so I have a special place in my heart for him and others facing these challenges. My sist and other family live in St. Petersburg Fl. which is another reason this series caught my eye and also that my sister in law worked at a stained glass shop. I have missed the last two books due to previous reading difficulties so now need to catch up and would be very happy to be selected for this giveaway. I had problems with leaving my email addresses on blogs so I will leave my Facebook info to use if I need to be contacted! Thank you and Congratulations on this new release. Thank you!

Love this series! Also, I really liked that the blog entry featured Jacob, who deals with life on the spectrum. There are so many variations, and they are so poorly understood. I am glad you have included his character in the series. For some people, this might be their first insight into how challenging life can be for someone like Jacob. Education leads to understanding.
