It's based on a true life tragic story which Greg had originally wanted to turn into a film but instead it wound up being his first graphic novel. Greg and I met years ago when we both worked for a Hollywood movie trailer company. He is the author of CHESS RUMBLE and SURF MULES and his new book has been gathering a number of starred reviews which is no surprise since it's a very strong piece of writing paired with dynamic artwork from Randy Duburke.
Greg normally resides in Florida but is spending the next year in Germany and I believe he said on his homepage that he would do a free skype visit to any schools who read Yummy in class.
