Ok… this is a BIG DEAL.
Published back in 2020, Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel by the unsurpassable @drewgum.bsky.social was our first novel… and as a consequence of us going to into hibernation for a while, it’s sadly been out of print.
NOT ANY LONGER!!!! IT’S BACK!!!!

Oh… some news from Badger HQ - we’ve pressed CTRL+P to get a small run of the brilliant ‘Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel’ by @drewgum.bsky.social back in print!!
A book this good deserves to be available, and will hopefully serve as a springboard for new titles in 2026!! 🤞🏼
