Fun time period to fantasy book so I'm excited for this Mitch!

Cool to see you join the club, Mitch. 1993 is a fun time period to book for sure. I was initially sad to see guys like Repo Man, Beverly Brothers being let go, but that was quickly squashed when I saw the EPIC list of people you're bringing in. Intrigued to see how you make them all feel important in a time period with not a lot of TV time. Anyway, wishing you best of luck with this. I'll be following.
