Hope everyone is staying safe. Kevin Clay has agreed to do the audiobook for Spell Talker. Already been in communication about details. I finally got my completed Hank model. I've started putting together my first real scene. What are they up to? https://hardluckhank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Teaser1.mp4 Read More
