Thank you

Start with Chapter 1Thank YouI just wanted to take the time to say thank you for reading The Clearing. I hope you enjoyed it. If you're interested in more works by me, you can read the Drexel Pierce series, the first title, The Shattered Bull, is available for $.99 on Amazon.

Again, thank you!
