“In this book I will teach you, based on stuff I have either made up, observed, or overheard, how to live the life you want--the life you Will. Obviously, if your name is Will and you are slow, this book will be confusing/upsetting. Be careful. Thanks.”
“Thank You. Life is short and TBR lists are long. I know time is precious and I thank you for spending yours with this book.”

“The good characters in my book are loosely based on folks I know. All the bad stuff is made up.”
