@infernulls.bsky.social is right. I am a lot of fun. Granted, that has something to do with the company I keep (like Zeggy). Episode 68 is the one in question, if you’re wondering.
Hey there! Did you know I did an interview for #Infernulls The Golden Letter? No? You should check it out! It was a wonderful experience and the host was a lot of fun.

Definitely check out their other episodes too, they're very professional and a good person, which we all need.
Another episode? You bet! A Book & Its Author ep. 68 features Zeggy @infernulls.bsky.social discussing & reading from their light novel, Infernulls: The Golden Letter. Lots of fun, available on all the usual platforms & here: abookanditsauthor.libsyn.com/068-infernul...

Thank you for the opportunity to highlight my newest novel A Bigfoot Homecoming. While technically fiction, it's inspired by my dad's real-life encounter with Bigfoot and growing up poor in the Midwest. It's about the creatures we chase, the past we carry, and the truths we must finally face.
