In this week's OLTL Commentary by Jill:
"... If you were gravely ill and needed a stem cell donation, would you take your chances on living without a transplant or would you chance accepting that bag of blood that has been kept in mini refrigerators all this time and carted all over Llanview in a brown paper bag? This is just too stupid to be believed."

Most fans know
Michael Easton as
One Life to Live's John McBain, but the talented actor is also widely known for his work as an author. Easton published his poetry work,
Eighteen Straight Whiskeys, in 1997, which is currently in it's 3rd printing. However, it was last year's release of Easton's new book,
Soul Stealer, which brought his writing career further into the limelight.
Now, on the heals of his first successful book, comes the upcoming release of
Soul Stealer Book Two | Blood and Rain, which is expected to be available next month. And the story doesn't end there, as the actor/writer has already been hard at work on book three in this series.
