My son recently had a surgery to fix cranial instability due to severe EDS. He suffered in massive pain for 2 years and nobody could figure out the cause. Thank you for putting books like this out there for people that are trying to educate themselves more on the subject, like myself. How long did it take to get the diagnosis of EDS?

I was examined by a young doctor for a medical. He thought it might be EDS and contacted his proffesor at university. I met him within a month and was diagnosed with EDS. It was a day that changed my life. Good luck to you and your son.

My third book!

I have finally finished my 3rd book!
I didn't think I had one in me and then the story presented itself to me. It's a book about safari hunting.
I saw pictures of a dead lion on Facebook. It was surrounded by hunters celebrating their victory. I thought to myself "somebody ought to shoot them."
Then I thought "others must have this same thought". Hence the book!
