Smiley McGrouchpants Jr. Esq. III
26 books67 followersBorn into confusion, frustration, and resentment, I was culturally acclimated in Chicago, IL and grew up some more in Portland, OR — where I live, to this day! ;)
I've been in The Miscreant, Section 8 Magazine, and FIVE:2:ONE Magazine, tore Donald Trump and Glenn Beck new assholes, and had a self-published book featured in the Kirkus Reviews Sept. 1 2017 issue and another in the April 15, 2020 issue.
More coming soon!
