Tweaked ~ A Novel

Craig Danielson is at a crossroads in his life. After losing his job, and being left with mountains of debt, he learns of a new and dangerous medical procedure which will make him an expert in any field or occupation he chooses. For Craig, it could transform him from a mediocre guitar enthusiast into a musical superstar … but can he trust the doctor? And do the gains outweigh the risks?

An accessible and heartfelt story, TWEAKED takes an intimate character-driven look at how far people will go to be the best, and the ramifications of gaining an unearned skill.
