Also, buy my books. Sure, you could just scroll back and read the same material. But what if SoFC suddenly went out of business? Would you be able to live with yourself knowing how impossible these would be to find? Don’t let that happen to you: Buy the early days of Back Off in Haiku to read on your Kindle or any device with the Kindle app. Two volumes now out for the haiku appropriate price of $5.75]
