If I can get three blurbs for my next novel, I’ll double my readership.
I’ve been in Minnesota for almost a month, so you know what that means: I’m now 38% brat.
My first novel “Submarines” officially launched today! Thanks to everyone who bought a copy, reviewed it, told a friend, or made a post about. Thanks to Aaron, Ben, Graham, Jillian and Zac for blurbing it and Alan and Malarkey for publishing.
Really loved this from @joshuatrentbrown.com. Sweeping, evocative, grounded but with just the right smattering of the magical. Get on it.
It’s a bad game. No way to dress it up. A Spain goal would get Argentina playing and would be best for all involved (except Argentina).
