Oh, we all got our cowboy songs! Nobody has a monopoly on sadness.

Another piece of art from you! I love it. Just finished “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me”. One of the best books I’ve ever read. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words, Gael. This was a fun one to write—to capture the eccentric voice of this Indian guy.

When I saw you at B&N Union Sq. NYC years ago ,a middle school Language Arts teacher brought his class. Your interaction with these students was enjoyable to witness👏👍
