  2. Thanks, Janet, for including my book.

    Need a break from cleaning your kitchen for Pesach? (Or from filling Easter baskets?) You can read about someone else’s pre-Pesach travails instead. UNLEAVENED DEAD is on sale from now until 11:59 PM on April 22 for only $.99. You can purchase and download it from http://tinyurl.com/l443azw.
