title: The Devil Makes Three: Book 1 in the Devil You Know Series
author:  Julie Mangan 
description: If I die before my mother I am 100% certain of the story she will share at my funeral. So to beat her to the punch and, in essence, to turn chagrin into pride, I'll share it myself. In my wee tender years, prior to kindergarten, my mother sat on the living room floor playing a game with one of my brothers. The game required reading and this was a talent I had yet to master. When told I couldn't play I threw myself back against the wall in a fit of despair, slid down to the floor and said, "See what wonderful things you can do when you know how to read?" Seriously. In all honesty, I do vaguely remember this, so I know she's not making it up. As a five-year-old I already recognized the value of such knowledge, and every day since I gained the precious ability to read I've done so with avid hunger. When other kids played that silly mash game (you know the one, with the spiral and the cars and the boys) and declared their future professions would be as a lawyer, doctor, teacher or firefighter, I wanted to be an author. Forget needles and numbers. Forget corporate America. Reading and writing will be a passion with me until my dying day.
