"Yoyoing is learning. It is socialization. It is private or performance. It is everything that you can put your power personality behind. It is raw, polite, rude, and an outlet for that personality. Yoyo is for everyone."
-Chris Allen

About the Author
Yoyothrower: - "J.D. McKay is a madman, but a madman is what these times require. His writing choices are eclectic. His first release - The Duck: How to make THEM pay - set the tone of his utterly ridiculous fiction writing. His first non-fiction release - How to Run a Boutique Yoyo Business - is evidence of his madness. Who else would write an entire book for a niche of about 50 people? He is also currently assembling an instructional book for middle aged folk who have finally found the time to learn guitar, a series of children's picture books, and more. This is alongside an established yoyo company and his day job corrupting the minds of small children...I mean, teaching grade 2. Join him on his adventures, you won't regret it! Or you might. But it'll be fun either way!"
