I do not know this author. I will check on him though.
I have some new books on the way - real books - but I would like to find
them on audio too so I can read them
Ordered several by Robert Bly that I don't have in my collection. Ordered
three by Irene Mckinney, West Virginia poet laureate - she just passed away
two weeks ago. And the newest book by Dorianne Laux - carzy about her work.
NOW, if I only could find them in Audio, too!
