Book Hero thinking about your next read

Mostly, it is the rather unfortunate chronicle of a man's attempt to write the book heโ€™s promised his publisher, no matter the cost to his sanity.

Central Avenue Publishing is proud to publish another book by the widely acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas. As many have noted on various social media platforms, there have been some issues that have led to the delayed release of this book.
