I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I just noticed (and ordered) that they are releasing the James Marster's version of Ghost Stories on April 21st.

I stumbled on this FanFic Crossover Novella and even created a cover for it before actually reading it (I liked the premise). Then I converted it to an AZW3 and put it on my Kindle Voyage (I"ve read 15% of it so far this morning)!

If you have not read them means that the other books cannot be that great.

Thank you. Got it, now have to figure out when to read it. I like Supernatural, well at least the tv show - haven't read any of it.

The pic included some text about a lack of fudge at the conference, which I didn't include in my post because it made no sense to me. Maybe he was annoyed at finding out that there was no fudge!!

It appears as if he just might be having a bad hair day (you know, that British climate!). Perhaps that's the reason for the annoyed look?!
