If anyone out there in Bluesky land would like a copy of my first book, an 80-page 'novel in dreams', I'll send it, no charge. Inherited 250+ copies when the publisher died a few years back.

Like me, neither my friend @garyamdahl.bsky.social nor his publisher @galleonbooks.bsky.social have been around here much lately. Here's Galleon's latest book, Gary's blistering new novel!
