The Opening Salvo: The Series Opener That Vocal Inspired. Top Story - October 2024.
Six months after my first book, I’m back. This time with The Opening Salvo, the start of a full-on trilogy based off of a Vocal challenge entry. An entry that remains some of the tightest comedy I’ve ever written with the most jokes per capita.
