Insert witty phrase here admonishing readers to share on social media (don’t change anything below this line):
Okay, I won’t. Oops …
As promised, the second volume in the Bill Bitner Newsletter archives, This Heathen Earth, covering the year 2004 is now available in both print and Kindle editions. All pre-orders are on their way.
