Top 10 AMAZON BESTSELLER
Book One in the MY TEMPORARY LIFE Trilogy
It has everything, simply everything-a coming of age, a romance, and a
thriller all rolled into one delightful read.

Malcolm Wilson learns that everything is always temporary. Growing up, he's
raised by a promiscuous mother who can't stay out of trouble, his best friend
is a thirteen-year-old alcoholic, and the masters at his tough Scottish school
are always raising their canes in his direction. When he becomes an adult, he
escapes, and chooses the safe route, watching the world from a distance.
Everything changes the day he meets the beautiful, alluring, green-eyed
Heather, and when he learns of Heather's own abusive childhood and the horrific
secret she's been carrying, Malcolm decides to help her. And, this time he's
not backing down, whatever the cost.

The first book of the MY TEMPORARY LIFE Trilogy deals with friendship, love,
and what it means to be a hero. A top-ten overall Amazon best
seller, this grand, sweeping story has been enjoyed by readers all over the world.

Wow! Absolutely one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I started reading and could not stop. Malcolm is one amazing character. He reached into my heart and touched my soul. What an amazing journey. I have to say that I have not read a book that took me on such an emotional ride in many years. I just finished the book a few minutes ago and I am still reeling. I am typically a romance/fantasy reader but this is definately going on my favorite books list. Martin Crosbie will be on my watch list for authors to buy in the future. All I can say is this was an incredible story to read.
Amazon Review
There were moments of magic, scenes filled with foreboding, passages that were poetic and ruminative, others that were breathtaking. The masterful handling of Malcolm's mother, especially in "the car wash scene," was brilliant. There were many scenes, especially toward the end, that were fast-paced and made the book impossible to put down. It is a book you will not want to miss.
