Joe Barrett answered Tricia Medler's question: Hi Joe. Semi-Gloss was hilarious. Unmistakable Joe humor. I laughed out loud reading it. Told A she has to read it as well. Do you do book tours? Hey Tricia! Sorry, I never check this stuff and just saw your note. Glad you liked it. "A" would be Aileen? Nice that you guys are still in touch (I am hopelessly out of touch, so please give anyone I knew my very best). I don't do much in person stu See Full Answer

Quotes by Joe Barrett (?)

“Maybe, you try not to have a ridged opinion about anything. Maybe, you just let happen, happen.”
― Joe Barrett, Managed Care

“The Church should be about individual expression, not conformity! The Church should be about compassion, not judgment!”
― Joe Barrett, Managed Care

“I’ve seen people react to situations in ways that I think are bad for the world. It doesn’t matter if it happens at work or at school or at home, you know? People shouldn’t hurt other people and then lie about it. Or try to convince themselves that they’re right when their actions are wrong. People should speak up when they see bad things happening, don’t you think? When people make the world a worse place, it’s important to expose it, so it doesn’t stay hidden, right? Isn’t that kind of what you were”
― Joe Barrett, Daisy in the Doghouse
