This little guy fell down our chimney and really wanted AJ to be his mama! He kept climbing up her leg and arm. Unfortunately we have three big dogs that wanted to make him a tasty meal. In the end he went up the tree in the front yard — hopefully he reunites with his mama!

So much fun launching my friend @theandrewkclark 's debut novel from Cowboy Jamboree Press , WHERE DARK THINGS GROW, into the world tonight.

Y’all this is too cool! Today’s pubday for EVIL IN ME (Nightfire Books) by my bud BROM. Not only is it an amazing novel, but the book’s music has been brought to life by my partner AJ Grey and her all-female band The Maxines, acting as The Night Mares from the novel!
