A sincere thank you to everyone who bought a copy, came to a reading, asked for an interview, wrote a review, you name it. Seriously means the world.

Sometimes I have dreams in which I think "this would make a good story. I need to remember it." Then I wake up and think "No. No it wouldn't. I'm not Soseki." #Writer #dreams #literature
