Pennyworth
Bargain
"Dude, I got two pork tacos at El Porkos for only two dollars Canadian. What a pennyworth!"
Hi. My first novel, Rock Bottom, was published by Back Bay Books/Little, Brown, in 2009, and is being staged as a musical by the Landless Theater Company in 2011. I am working on novels in which mishaps occur, and people must make those mishaps right, though sometimes they would prefer to just lie around and watch TV. I also teach at Seattle University, and prefer sunny days.
i continue to adore this blog. (El Porkos! Canadian dollars!) you are a dynamo in english new and old, mr. shilling.
