    Just a quick note to let y'all know: I have a new album coming out in a few weeks! It's called 'Cabin Fever', and, on it, you'll find a handful of home recordings of various types, old and new. There's a Kickstarter to help fund it at http://kickstarter.jwgh.org/; it ends on April 3. I also have a new podcast called Love YA Like Crazy, where me and my friend Carrie talk about different young adult books. We've been having a lot of fun recording these, and we hope you enjoy listening to them! More information is at http://loveyalikecrazy.com/, or you can subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.
