Dear Kahl,
Mark Twain said (paraphrased) "I can survive six weeks on one compliment." I agree. Thanks for your thanks.
I am searching the right early readers and reviewers for my two dark comedies (true dark comedies as opposed to the dark side of quotations) - Woo Burgers in Paradise and Buskers on the Half Shell - These pdf copies would come to you free of charge -
Woo Burgers is a dark-comedy mystery about serial killers in Key West - Thanks, Alan
