All the good gossip

chanson, October 13, 2009

Between buildings we passed by a pharmacy that had in its display window a large poster advertising some sort of mysterious medication.

    Madame Curie — Thanks, glad you like it!

    I’m planning to publish it through BookSurge so people will be able to buy both e-copies and physical copies. It’s almost ready to go!
