A Novella Sequel is in the Works for "The Botleys of Beaumont County"

      What is a novella? Something too long for a short story, and too short for a novel. Think of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men or Thomas Mann;'s Death in Venice.

        Need to read the novel? Or any of my poetry books? Please see the following links. Thanks!
