Long-time blog- and real-life-friend, Jeff, currently doing some great work over at the Faith-ing Project. He’s got some books on Amazon, too, so it was really nice of him to take the time to go over to the Favored One page and say this: Also, even longer-time friend, and I guess you could say international, … Continue reading And the First Review Award Goes too…
This is Auntie Shelley. She is one of the most awesome people I know all by herself. She is also reading Favored One, which I feel is pretty awesome, too. Be like Auntie Shelley.
