Ditto. The volume of "I have a private list of readers to review your book" emails is really something.

The lesbian tool In a touching tribute to two brave women, a unique garden tool becomes a symbol of resilience and pride.

The Advocate published my essay about a lesbian couple and their garden tool. Forty-something years ago when I was a young gay rodeo cowboy in Montana, I would never have imagined my work published there, or Advocate naming my memoir to "Top 20 Must Read" books. www.advocate.com/voices/the-l...

Terrific. I would suggest The Gift first. Then my memoir, Cowboys, if you want more of the backstory. Thanks!

"Mr. Terry crafts an immersive, thought-provoking narrative that not only highlights the struggle between personal identity and religious indoctrination but also sheds light on a piece of American history that is often overlooked. The Gift is a must read."

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
