About me:

Billy is a writer and a lover and a pug owner. Billy likes music more than his own art. Billy is spending too much money to go to school in New York. Billy has great friends who make him love his life. Billy is in love with Nico. Billy can funnel a beer in under 2 seconds. Billy compulsively buys books more frequently than he reads them. Billy has a blog. Billy likes pretentious art films and well-written pop masterpieces. Billy is in love with Nico. Billy wants to write screenplays and have a lot of money to donate to the Democratic party. Billy prefers Billy to William but will answer to either. Billy answers to Bill too. Billy loves Paisley, but is not in love with her because she is a dog. Billy is mean to his friends for fun. Billy is bald(ing). Billy has a book called Talking in the Dark which you should buy multiple copies of. Billy likes Manhattans, Mojitos, and Guiness. Billy is tired of talking about himself and finds the third person descriptions of himself creepy.

Who I'd like to meet:
You. And your friends. And your friends' moms.

Hey, Billy. I'm sure you've got plenty of reading to do, but . . .

I have one especial favor to ask you:
If you haven't yet, will you read my book . . . Or Not?


Maybe you know somebody who has a copy you can borrow. If not, ask your librarian. I wouldn't mind if you were able to buy it, of course! ^υ^ Oh, you might need to make a special request from your bookseller.

Remember: Manda, like "panda" with and "M", ..
and bach like the composers.


If you read Or Not, you will have my undying gratitude and you'll be my very special reader-valentine! Joomla SEO lol, but most of all, I think you will really dig Cassie's story!

Peace & Love!

ps, I hate to ask like this, Joomla SEO, and I don't like to self promote . . . but I really hope you'll help me out. And, I don't have a huge corporate machine behind me, which is a cool thing, too. Who knows, maybe you'll be part of building a new grassroots literary revolution! ;)
