Very sweet.

Didn't realize Nanny and Granny were 2 separate people.

How's life by you?

News Media

News Media   ‘News should act like the fourth branch of government, keeping the others in check.’  - A political science professor. Right wing.  Left wing. Propaganda.

You can self publish on Feed a Read.com. It's a straightforward process. I previously used Lulu.com but that's a bit of a faff.


How much does it cost Dylan to self-publish?
