NEW RELEASE TODAY!!!

 Wil's book is officially available! 
It's The Wizard of Oz as if it were written by Shakespeare
with all new illustrations by our talented daughter-in-law

Why write it thus, you may well ask. 
It's because of a conversation between Grandad Wil and VT*Grand (Ivy),
back when she was 11.

       "Ivy, how are things in school?"
       "Fine," she answered.
       "Are you doing anything with Shakespeare?"
       "No, but I know who Shakespeare is.  He wrote, Romeo and Juliet."
       "Yes!"
       "And The Wizard of Oz," she continued.
       "The Wizard of Oz?"
       "Well, maybe not The Wizard of Oz."

      "Well, maybe..." thought Grandad...


                                 

If you've ever wondered:  How did the Scarecrow become alive?  How did the Tin Woodsman became a man of tin and what was he before? Where did the Cowardly Lion come from?  Wil addresses all of these and more, tying up loose ends that have never been addressed before.

It's out in a beautiful hardcover and will soon be available as an e-book.

  2. ‘Fat Leonard’, contractor in US Navy’s worst corruption scandal, flees house arrest [Click] “. . . said neighbours witnessed U-Haul moving trucks coming to and from Francis’ home in the days before his escape.” Bizarre . . As memory serves me, one or more members of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service was/were bribed, as well as senior officers.

    1. P.S.: Such things can be shipped directly from North Korea to Russia by rail. If railway cars are available.

    1. Thanks, Susan! He's being so sweet when signing the books. He finds a special quote for each individual, and has one he uses generally to sign books for the local bookstores.
