Book Review of Drought.

I found out that this book is also a semi-finalist this year for Horror in the Kindle Book competition! Definitely a book to check out.

Oh, MAN. I can't believe I didn't check out this thread before. I am missing out on so much good stuff!

Well, I'll fix that in short order - in the meantime, here's Authors on Twitter, or, The Problem With Selling Jesus.
