Bored and desolate, the fortyish divorced Allman begins an innocent, though questionable online dialogue with the pretty teen Marci Downes. Phil's initial "comments" of advice plunge into something deeper, as he descends into the abyss of forbidden love, put to the test when Marci is kidnapped.

Romantic, suspenseful, often funny, and certainly controversial, Young Blood is both a cautionary tale for this still new virtual world, a kind of Lolita for the 21st century, and in the end, a love story...of sorts.

Once you start to read it, I am confident that you will be hooked...just like Phil.
