Friend, former landlord, fellow tequila lover and generous giver of writing advice, Ace Atkins for the win! Congrats, amigo! The El Luchadore organic 110 proof awaits to be cracked in celebration!
I don't often talk book business here. But when I do, it's big news. Thrilled to be joining the @WmMorrowBooks roster for two standalone projects I've been wanting to write for a long while!
