    Give stevo a hug

    • Hug

      From PandorasPlight Monday

      Tag your it! I am here waiting on ice coffee. My best writing is with the jerk ex if ONLY I could get it! A children's book author/freelance reveiwer in Providence was enamoured of it likening it to some of the great writers of my generation, calling it quality text rarely seen in children's literature today. It has been left in a notebook for years if its even safe it would be titled: Henry George Jacobs and The Most Amazing Thing Ever.
