Hi, I'm John Wood, but you may remember me as one-half of J.P. Nightingale or co-creator of the TAFFY Festival. We all fall on hard times in one way or another at certain times. Hard Times worked out okay for Charles Dickens. I am in the process of writing a book, Allison Wonderland; looking for a place to move; trying not to get too far behind on bills; looking for work; and doing my best to stay calm and carry on. Oh, and I live in Bakersfield, so there's that. I am asking for your help through these times until the pendulum swings the other way. I will duck when it does. Thank you so much for your consideration.
