What the hell is happening? That's what I want to say, every minute of the day. But it's a lie, it's a trick my mind tries to play on my mouth, because I know exactly what is happening.

I wanted to share a bit about why I’ve chosen the title Samizdat: A Love Letter for my upcoming book. I seem to have a talent for choosing ambiguous book titles! My first book was called The Lemay Leveller (published by Completely Novel in 2015), and many people found that confusing. For me it was straight forward but I was at an advantage, being its author.

47 has unleashed ICE to enact government directed terrorism. They have a recently tripled daily quota for catching immigrants. It’s barbaric and what’s even worse is that it’s only the beginning.
