Vets-Better off Dead?

Ted Krever: Writing and other forms of torture Posted on July 23, 2011 by ted kreverJuly 25, 2011

Un-American Activity! On My Blog! (sort of)

Ted Krever: Writing and other forms of torture Posted on July 20, 2011 by ted kreverJuly 20, 2011

I don’t get this – readers are buying my paperbacks and not claiming their beers! This is blatantly un-American activity, as far as I’m concerned. Major corporations have spent millions – billions even – perfecting systems to lure you, the … Continue reading →

Ted Krever: Writing and other forms of torture Posted on July 14, 2011 by ted kreverJuly 25, 2011
