    About this ebook

    Sometimes I write little things to amuse my friends, just to let them know that I AM still writing.

    And there's quite a lot of those little things out there, on social media.

    These are just a few of them. I hope you like them too.

      How Prisoners Brought 'Death of a Salesman' to Life

      Dec 14, 2018
