We must not disturb it, we must not disturb it, we must not-Īnyone. And I do not understand why either, I am not paid to ask why, I just do what I’m told lest my disobedience stirs awake the rumored deity slumbering beneath Film 14’s office building. I write for a website that specializes in book trailers, and if I could show you the contract I signed with Film 14 you would realize I am legally obligated to view no less than 140 film trailers per week. Now, I know what you might be thinking: why on earth would you ever be in the position to subject yourself to so many book trailers in such a short amount of time? Yes it is that good.' - Jason Downes, author of Pony Fleming and The Barn 'McHugh wonderfully balances good writing with humor and an easy-to-read rhythm that keeps her audience turning pages until the sun is up.Similar to film previews, book trailers can all start blending together after so long. PINS works equally as a coming of age, finding your way novel and as a horror.

I could almost smell the blood at times! I loved Birdie's voice, her sarcasm and humour made her character real and I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a gritty read.' - Lindsay and Jane's Views and Reviews 'The dialogue crackles and the drug use is plentiful but this isn't a whitewashed fairy tale, it's a gritty story of a young woman seeking peace.

The writing is very visual and descriptive leaving no confusion as to what is happening.

fans of horror, pulp, hard crime, depictions of very beautiful young women, hot dialogue and fast, pulpy tales won't be disappointed!' - Mark Barry, Green Wizard Publishing, UK 'PINS is a great novel, well written, well paced and absorbing. From Jessica McHugh, author of the steampunk adventure The Sky: The World and the bestselling psychological thriller Rabbits in the Garden, PINS is a post-modern coming of age thriller certain to titillate as much as terrify with a candid look at a dancer trying to find herself on a blood-drenched stage. But learning how to strip for strangers isn't Birdie's only obstacle, especially when fellow dancers start turning up dead. Eva 'Birdie' Finch is fed up with the slim pickings in local employment, and the gentlemen's club/bowling alley called Pins seems to be the only option left. Luckily, strip clubs are always looking for new blood.

Telemarketing is a drag, and serving jobs are exhausting.
