Dear Wednesday, I admit I’m drawing a blank today… Love, Kevin (30 November 2016)
My books and where to buy them
For your consideration as we enter this holiday season (and beyond): Here is the updated list of my books and purchase links. The Amazon listings usually have a decent preview of the print editions.
