WAY PAST BEDTIME is out today!
I was harrumphing and galumphing around the house, complaining that I had no trailer (once again) when my daughter took matters into her own hands…and handed me some video clips. Teenagers—you can’t live with ’em, and you can’t do technology without ’em!
Enjoy!
WAY PAST BEDTIME is available in bookstores everywhere.
Get one before bedtime!
