Yeah, go see this and luxuriate in the world of K-Doe and the stature.

And Zeria and Josh Hamilton Stores, aside from your spelling, you're perpect too

I'll be there for the book launching and I'll be patiently waiting for my pre-ordered book. I'll pick it up afterwards. Is there any mystery novels and books on the launching?
