The Book is Here! GOOD MEDICINE!

I'm proud to announce that my first book of poetry is now available, Good Medicine: Read Two Poems and Call Me in the Morning. It's 211 pages, 95 original western-themed poems, and the artwork of over 30 western artists and photographers. "Honest, touching, and inspiring, with a healthy dose of quirkiness," says Carol Heuchan. Click on "THE STORE" and find out more. I can't wait to send you a copy.
