I did it.
It took gut-churning grit and determination, but I did it. I published my first novel,
There Is No Lovely End. <---- See what I did there? I LINKED TO WHERE YOU CAN BUY IT! What? You can buy my book? SO WEIRD! I am used to seeing it in a stack of ratty, coffee-ringed papers on my desk. Now it's all bound and beautiful.
Know what makes a pretty book prettier? When you put a BONE ON IT!
In additional news!
Hear ye, hear ye, I HAVE A BOOK TRAILER! Done by the Fantastic! Patient! And Astounding!
Rule2 Productions. With music by
The Goddamn Gallows! What? You love the Gallows? ME TOO! Check it:
