Bullets and ButterfliesThe Almanac for Farmers & City FolkSeptember 1, 2009
I just received my 2010 copy of The Almanac for Farmers & City Folk. I've been writing for the annual publication for the past five years, and I'm pleased that the Editor, Lucas McFadden, and the Executive Editor, Thomas Alexander, selected six of my articles for this edition:

Keep an eye out for a copy at newsstands and book stores in the coming month or so! You can also order a copy here. |
