Ghost Readers in the Sky

Set your alarms and notifications. Clear you calendars. One week from today we are presenting my One Year Anniversary Extravaganza. Alan from ‪@AlansReads‬ will play Festus to my Matt Dillon, Barney Fife to my Andy Taylor, Hawk Hill to my Harry S. Truman, Perkins to my Elroy Lobo, Jake to my Jason McCullough. [Editor's note: This is what we in the business call a "rabbit hole."] Alan will be asking me questions, and I will respond.

If you have questions for me, you can drop them here or contact me on Voxer or send gotcha questions directly to Alan so I can be blindsided. A good time will be had by all. Yippee Ki Yay, Mr. Falcon!
