Is My Hat Getting Too Small?

Next stop on the blog tour is an Morgan Huneke! After her enthusiastic words about Implant my head may be so big that my hats will no longer fit. I’m very flattered that she enjoyed it so much! But don’t take my word for it. See her review for yourself!

I forgot what it was to have principles or convictions until that idealistic dreamer came along. After I was sent to the base as a spy, he reminded me–in no uncertain terms, either. You’ve seen…
