What’s better than that new-car smell? For me, it’s the smell of ink from my newly-published book. I got it when I picked up my copy of The Colorful Characters of St. Louis at the warehouse this morning, Sept. 13, 2016. Gotta remember that date.
It’s got 280 pages and weighs a pound. Wow. That’s heavy, but what do you expect with heavy topics like Beatle Bob, Percy Green, Bob Cassilly and seventy-seven other Colorful Characters. So start lifting your weights, so you can lift my book. The workout will be worth it.
