2. Andrew (and sadly I'm going to spell this wrong) Vachas
Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 06:45 PM by bigwillq
He writes a lot of crime, mystery thrillers. The Burke Novels are his best.


Why-With the Burke novels, I like reading about the same characters. In each book, we learn more and more about them. It gives you a connection to these characters that makes you want to keep reading.

8. A lot of his writing I'm guessing is based on true crimes
Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 06:48 PM by bigwillq
He worked as a child psychologist and a lot of his books deal with that subject.

14. My name, well actually my middle name, is William
but I like to go by Will.

the 'big' part is b/c although I don't like Will Smith, he calls himself bigwill, which I think is cool and the letter q is the first letter of my boyfriend's last name

60. My CD-Rom drive didn't work and my sound doesn't still
so we finally called Dell tonight. What's wrong with my bro? heh everything, we got our interims today, and my grades were decent not good to me because I have a D+ but his included 4 F's, 1 D, 1 C, 1 C+. So my parents grounded him until the end of the quarter which is in January and he was furious, and he was lying on my bed while we were trying to fix it, and he was giving ma a hard time. He's also my opposite in other ways too, the blonde bastard.
