Merry Christmas, Y'all!!!!

Just thought I'd say hello and let you know about a few holiday things....  

For those of you who are in or near Alexandria, (or will be visiting for the holidays)  there'll be a real treat at Spirits on Texas Avenue on Wednesday, December 19th.    Tammy Hromadka, yes, Boo-Boo's wife, will be entertaining that evening, starting at 7:30 p.m.    I know Boo will be there, and I plan to be as well.   Join us for a mini-reunion!!!  It should be a load of fun!

And all you shoppers out there....  how about supporting our Class?!!   Don't forget "Granny Frannie's Fun"...    Here's what our newest author has to say:

If you have science fiction readers on your list DO NOT forget Gregg Overman's book, Blue Sunrise!  The reviews on Amazon.com are all awesome and the book is only $10.95!   Here's what one reader had to say:

"Blue Sunrise is a richly woven tale of a drug addict dealing with his inner demons, a Mars expedition unaware of unknown perils, and an alien race trying to save itself from total annihilation. An engrossing well thought out plot with twist and turns that will lead the reader on an unexpected journey. This book has superb character development and you will find it hard to put down. Blue Sunrise is a phenomenal masterpiece that is splendidly written. It is a future classic worthy of being read, reread and savored."

Honestly, if you haven't already, you should order a copy for yourself.....   Gregg has a VIVID imagination, and I mean that in the best possible way!

And, of course, I'm going to promote my most talented cuz!  Those of you who were at the reunion will recall the beautiful necklace that Rick Mansour took away....    and there are plenty more gorgeous pieces to ogle over....  just check out Frances Ward Johanson's web site!
