Vampires

I think this will end up being a 300 to 350 page book, a memoir or maybe even an autobiography, the jury is still out on that aspect. Please do keep in touch via this website as I work on building it, eventually there will likely be a way of directly buying the book as well as prints of… Read more Book update. →
