"Suffer For This" has been up on Amazon for ages, and we've basically pretended it wasn't there. It's better for both authors and publishers to order books from the publisher, if possible. But ... there are some holidays that involve gift-giving coming up, so if you need it quick, happy holidays! 😎

8:15 pm UPDATE! We are $350 away from a 2nd bench! We would place that on South Flagg St to benefit the residents of Bet Shalom senior apts. who walk down to the conservation area & back. We could provide a place for them to sit, rest, & look over the conservation area before heading back gwlt.org
Cascading Waters is one of the City's core trailheads, but lacks a place to sit, wait, rest, & enjoy. This #GivingTuesday please consider helping GWLT install a granite slab on granite blocks as a bench for the ages. There is nothing as solid & lasting as rock! www.gwlt.org
The @sandiegozoo.bsky.social Safari Park is my happy place and I was very glad to get a chance to visit while we were out promoting Victor's book and seeing old friends. I'm always as impressed by the plant conservation as the animals.
