My bud Scott Eden: He was a very inquisitive, respectful and creative young lad working on a Masters at STL’s Washington University. Over the years @ScottEden1 has become an award winning investigative journalist. His eye catching work has appeared in GQ, Wired and ESPN The Magazine, etc. I was inspired by him on a project in the day, I was lucky to have collaborated with as a behind-the-scenes cheerleader. And Unbeknownst to me, years later he authored his first book, with a long ass title. And fast forwarded, I can’t put down Scott’s newest blockbuster, “A Killing in Cannabis.” It’s drenched in tingling realism as a true story of greed, betrayal, murder, love and California weed. Truly the lifestyles of many in California are adventurous. I’m so proud of Scott’s growth, as he has arrived today in the #WritingCommunity as a brilliant, bold, suspenseful and imaginative author. I wholeheartedly recommend Scott’s latest efforts. I remember him, when. Congrats! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

“‘A Killing in Cannabis’ is an exhilarating, deeply reported true-crime murder mystery and love story that moves like a Netflix thriller. It is a detailed and intricate cultural history of marijuana in California on both sides of the legal and moral divides.” —@nytimes
