We are excited to announce that you can now order STORIED STUFF VOLUME 2 the second paperback collection of Storied Stuff essays and pix. All proceeds go to assist not for profits. To date we have contributed over $1500 to Humble Design Chicago, First Book, Project Ropa, Glencoe Public Library, and—most recently—Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness. Our thanks to the Skokie and Glencoe libraries for hosting packed readings in November. You can now view the video of GLENCOE.
