5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT REVIEW BY Biff L. Peterson, August 18, 2005

By	Scott Essman "Freelance Author" (Glendora, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really liked Biff L. Peterson's scathing review of my book. It was quite entertaining, well written, and informative. Then I looked him up, to make sure it wasn't a pseudonym for one of the jealous journalists and craftspeople who need to lash out to feel better about themselves. Alas, I discovered that Mr. Peterson's co-wrote a book called "They Don't Wanna Wait: The Stars of Dawson's Creek." I had to laugh. He's calling ME a hack! Good luck in life, Mr. Peterson. I wish you the best. Keep up the good work. Hilarious, indeed.
