J L Peters was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus in 1963, when medicine was not as modern as it is today. His parents were told that he would probably not live to see 30. He's 48 now, and in his latest novel, he uses Danny Dowd to portray how he dealt with diabetes throughout his adolescence into his first year at college, defying all odds, ignoring doctors' warnings, and living his life.

This disease is unfair, and can strike anyone at any time!
1,000,000 new cases of Diabetes are diagnosed each year.
In 1999, more than 450,000 deaths were attributed to Diabetes.
Diabetes is the 6th leading cause of death in the US.

These are the facts. Living with it, and dealing with outside influences, is a whole different story.

Peters has masterfully brought his story to life in Lemon Flavored Cigarettes. The editor's notes on the book jacket sums it up by stating,

"This is a story of gripping suspense that involves sex, fraternity and sorority life, a life-threatening disease and a struggle with families that disapprove of the relationship.

This is a hard book to put down, based on a true account. You'll be torn between chuckles, tears and memories as you follow this fascinating tale."
