Read The Soul Of This Guy And Win A Signed "Kid Table" ARC

I have a couple of Kid Table advance reader copies, and I was trying to think how I should give them away. I looked at other authors' contests and they were, like, "Write a sequel to the book!" or "Dress...

Listen, this is a dog post. So if you don't like these dog posts, then why don't you just go back to the Nazi memorabilia site you were perusing before you clicked over. Even more than a dog post, it's...
