Heroes rise, anywhere, anytime. But every hero needs a big story. That takes a writer. And sometimes a son. In "BULLDOG'S DAWN, A TABLOID TALE," Chase Byrne, 20, recalls his first byline: "The inky sheen of my name catching the twilight on the bulldog edition." Through murder, mayhem and ink, life comes full circle for Chase on his 15th birthday in this young-adult, contemporary first-person novel. "But it almost didn't happen. I was an empty rich kid for starters. My absent dad, a hard-boiled legend, had always warned me against his dying newspaper game. And I loathed my father like my father loathed second-day stories." When Chase's mom abandons him to pursue advertising jobs in L.A., he becomes a lost snob under the influence of her wealthy fianc?. But when a blizzard from New England blackouts Manhattan, Chase must break news with his resurfaced father, crime reporter Kerry Byrne of The NY Daily Tab. Now, they battle their demons together. Meanwhile, his mom returns as the troubled tabloid's new ax-man angling to stop the presses forever. Can father and son save Christmas and New York's hometown paper?
