Book Updates!

Last year I posted an update about two un-published books. They’re both available now!

These are unedited first drafts.

Sales will still go to support the YALLWEST Book Festival and it’s school outreach program, bringing books and authors to underserved communities.

Here’s my initial statement from last year, discussing the eventual (TODAY!) release of these titles.
