It's my birthday this week, there's 15% off my print books, and my print prices will be going up slightly from Aug 1st - all of these are great reasons to buy my books in print before August here: www.lulu.com/spotlight/di... using code SUNNYREADS15

Author Die Booth, lying on a floral bedspread with his book titles (Making Friends, My Glass is Runn, Spirit Houses, Cool S and 365 Lies) spread out around his head. He is a middle aged white man with shoulder length dark hair and a dark moustache. He is grinning so widely that his eyes are closed.
