Santa is a little hungover this year, so he’s asking that you all do the shopping for him. So I’m going to make it easy by just suggesting you get a copy of my book for everyone on your list.

Grandma? Bar Belle Book.

Uncle Cooter? Bar Belle Book.

Baby Jesus? Bar Belle Book.

See how easy that is? And just to make things even more personal and local, I’m holding some book signings this month so I can inscribe a personal message to your sponsor in each book! I know, I know. I’m too kind. But I’ve still got presents to give with each purchase, and I’ve still got tabs to pay off.

So my Bar Belle Book Tour continues … please come say hello and let’s talk about the day’s news (Saint West?) over a beer or two.
