My Novel, Mercury Falls Most Popular Posts My Novel Again About MP
Hi. My name is Rob Kroese, AKA "Diesel." This is my blog. It has many words in it, which are arranged in an intentionally amusing manner. I don't update it much any more on account of IT WAS TAKING OVER MY LIFE. But hey, there's plenty of good stuff in the archives. If you're new here, start with some of my Most Popular Posts. And if you like that stuff, feel free to buy my novel. All proceeds go toward proving to my junior high school teachers that I'm not a huge failure. And if you're still not convinced, read a sample chapter here. It's awesome.
