Goodreads Giveaway: Politicians Are Human Beings. Maybe.
Hello everyone! Some of you may recall the last time I did a Goodreads Giveaway, where I shipped off five free copies of The Promotion.

Another curious one. Knowing these two, my guess is that they despised each other 99.99 percent of the time. But in that other .01 percent … …big laughs for everyone! Image credit: Popaganda.gr Continue reading
