You may recall that I was caught up in the collapse of publishers Unbound.
I now have the rights to my book Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? And I have a lot of them to get rid of.
So if you felt like buying one I might see my office floor again before 2027.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!
