Book blurb:
Tired of arguing over which of them was the best gamer, Josh and Alex stumbled upon a new video game shop, run by an enigmatic Japanese shopkeeper. He was to be their Game Master in this virtual reality video game that had no game controls. Little did they know it was a game that would change their lives, of their friends… and enemies… forever.
“Oh! This game is no ordinary game,” The Game Master explained, “It reads your thoughts, seeks out your weaknesses to provide you with challenges.”

From switching roles with each other, campfire frolics and ghostly stories from their teachers, the Game Master’s zany antics as he hosted a T.V. game show, “Hiro’s Happy Heroes,” released a string of rib tickling gags, teases and tantalising tattles.

Some are positive and some are not.
I am a closet psychologist and enjoy observing how apparent different cultures are really much the same, their beliefs coming from a similar source but expressed in a different "language." The Game Master explores just some of these issues within its storyline and my next book will delve more deeply into perceptions that the human animal that can be so cruel but sometimes so pure...
