Here is the 3rd installment of my 4 part video story about me and my wife moving away from Santa Cruz to the Monterey Bay Area.
Short and sweet entry here folks. Gotta get to class and study for a mid-term tomorrow, then another big exam for Thursday. Didn’t want to leave you with nothing. So here’s a small sampling from what should be my 2nd novel “The Ship”. It involves Cassandra and Julie, two of the main women from my…
