The Only Rational Response to a Crazy Day

I am happy to introduce you to Jennifer Slattery.  I recently read her debut novel and thouroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to her second one (information on both below).

Shame Off You!

The Quiet Lecture A Life Parable ~A fictionalized true event~  The phone rang, breaking the silence of night. Keeping her eyes closed, Andi rolled over to pick up her smart phone.
