..after reading Bull Running for Girls has kindly given me permission to share this quote.This will probably never happen to me again so I'm making the most of it.  "Kid, I like all your stories. Your book is killer and a class act for a first collection. Allyson Bird is a rare bird indeed. An original voice in a world of plain vanilla. She rides some dark waves with grace and a heart full of light and shadow. If there's any justice, she's on her way to real recognition. Joe R. Lansdale." | ||
