White Lies
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011Hello, all.

On the flip side, I am hosting today indie author Jeremy Bates, whose forthcoming novel White Lies will be on its way from Oceanview Publishing in May 2012 (for more information, check out Jeremy’s blog).
Let’s get a better idea of where Jeremy’s coming from, shall we?
