Today's the day. I'm hosting a launch party at Karen's Book Barn in La Grange for Revenge, the latest in the Victor McCain thriller series, from 2-7 pm. And when the signing is over we are headed to Big R and Shannon's BBQ for a celebratory dinner. Books and BBQ, can't beat it. I hope …
Review of Spectre
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GqClqvlObY I've been a huge James Bond fan starting in early childhood catching the reruns of Dr. No on TV. The release of a new Bond flick is a major event.
