How do you fix things when you're failing at every part of your life? Don't ask me.

I did okay in high school. I had friends, dated, even made decent grades thanks to my brainy twin sister. But now high school's over. It's time to be a man ... if only I knew how.

I couldn't live by my stepfather's rules, so I flew the coop and landed at my genetic father's, in Spain. A whole new country for me to screw up in. So of course, I did. After I'd burned through a second family, there was nowhere left for me to go. Maybe I was destined to wander the earth-me, the homebody.

Seriously, world. The joke's over.

Halo Boy is a spinoff story to the Blaze of Glory trilogy. The hardcover version includes an illustration and the short story The Turning Point, which was previously only available as an ebook.
