If this is rude, inappropriate, forward, pushy, self-centered, illegal, or grossly out-of-line

kindly let me know and i will immediately delete it in red-faced shame, but my comic novel, I Inherited a Mixed Animal from Uncle Living in Woods, which was conceived and born here in the village of DU in 2004, is now out and on the loose online everywhere. If anybody gets it and wants to talk about, i would be glad to do that here. You can read 6 chapters (thery're short) on Amazon in their "Read Sample" feature under the pic of the cover there. Thanks. --Richard

We Are Stardust We Are Golden

Tons of authors that no doubt you'd enjoy interacting with over there...

I can make a post about your book over on Bluesky if you'd like.

It's incredibly easy. Last I knew Bluesky had around 3.5 million daily users.

Easy to understand why so many authors of so many different stripes participate on Bluesky.

Happy Thursday and congrats on your creative publishing!

I followed you over there on blusky. Sure, yes, if you would post about it, please do. I've put a couple posts up about it there but with few followers/followings, it didnt go far. Thanks again!

I posted about the book there a while back, tagged with #booksky. I'll try it again now that it's out. Thank you!

is a small indie press out of Loyola University Maryland. I'd likely have to pay for it myself. And it would really require a hell of a reader, I'll tell you. But i'm not familiar at all with audiobooks. Thanks for asking. I would love for it to happen, but i don't see it, unless the book miraculously takes off.
