The authors also have three (3) book trailers (videos) located on their website (www.theprickindex.com ) and utube.com.   The videos are the animal caricatures in the book that come alive to convince you that “Prick isn’t a dirty word?   

The authors were college roommates and reconnected one day when they were talking on the phone.  They realized they were, much like everyone else, pursuing the “American Dream” until one day their worlds shattered.  They then realized that the “this is not my life” syndrome was common, but nobody talked about it in the open.  Certainly no one has written about it or has quantified how people interact with each other in such a raw truthful manner.  They either have lived many of the stories in the book, or know those that have or were inspired by stories they heard through word of mouth.  Today, Janis Skye is a Marketing Manager for a privately held firm just outside of Atlanta, Georgia and writes by candlelight.  Charlie Mercier currently writes and paints in Laguna Beach, California.
