Tweeting THE TRAZ for free


 I have a very special guest blogger today, Katrina Buckhold. Perhaps that name rings a bell? 
 
Katrina as she appears on the cover of THE TRAZ

 Katrina is the young protagonist in THE TRAZ. Although she is immature and abrasive and isn't perhaps all that reliable, I did agree to let her open her own Twitter account (https://twitter.com/KatrinaBuckhold).

Although I had to do a lot censoring and censuring for the first while, she seems to be growing up somewhat.
