He's happily married, for 16 years, with two daughters. He cuts books for fun. Schneiderman long ago began asking the key question: why write? Finally, after years of publishing books like the largely blank, BLANK, and the plagiarized  SIC], he's come to understand that the question can be formulated only through ink itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It's all been great.

Some Of Us Love You is the second volume of a three-part Dead Books split release series by Brett Lloyd and Ryan Kent, featuring short- and long-form works that are not to be mistaken for flowery, poetic musings. This isn't Percy Shelley. This isn't Dylan Thomas. This isn't anything you can put in a vase and display on a dinner table in front of guests. This is a book meant to be read at night, as you feel like garbage, in need of something to bring it all full circle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52664385470737,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52664386617617,"sku":"NLS9781644282373","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781644282373.jpg?v=1770890680"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/dead-books-trilogy-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
