Posting a comment from a special person "Donna" recognizing me from a distance she flagged me down to say that she read My name is BOSCOE on Jan. 21st and that it was "DELICIOUS" and can't wait to read more from the BOSCOE series. I told her I'd make sure everyone knew how she felt about my book and thanked her immensely Read more of this blog post »
