Mark Hello, Goodreads friends. I'm finally getting my Goodreads act together with my own book lists and an author's page. I hope if you like my new Kindle Single, God's Nobodies, you'll review it both here and on Amazon (the Amazon ratings keep me on a coveted list of best rated, where my Single has been at the top for its first couple of weeks since publication). Thanks very much.
