Klondikers Virtual Launch
To be honest, launching a book on Zoom wouldn’t be my first choice. I’d love to throw a big bash in a bar. But on the positive side, people from all over will be able to join me in celebrating Klondikers. For more information, here’s a Facebook event page. And here’s the Zoom link for […]
