Excerpt for Bad Judgment Posted!

You can read it on the website here or on Goodreads!

And since this post is pretty thin on content otherwise, I would like to point out that Justin Trudeau (the Prime Minister of Canada) looks an awful lot like one of his fellow Canadians, Patrick Sharp (a forward for the Dallas Stars hockey team).
