We had him on the pod recently and he read a line in a gorgeous Irish accent. Hi Kim!

Shocking no one, it's a story about hope bwahahaha. But also strength. And overall badassery. Let me know what you think.

I also challenged myself to tell a whole story that would be entertaining even if you haven’t read the novel, but would be all the richer if you have. You'll have to be the judge of that. It's called 💥Still Standing, Still Singing💥.

She nurses him to health, feeds him, and allows him to get behind on his rent, only for him to leave her in a dramatic, disgraceful way. She’s not in the novel for long, but she’s significant. Mary’s story deserved more space, and I hope I did her justice. 😎

After the event, I wanted to write something about it, which became a flash fiction piece, just over 1000 words.

It's Mary Rambo's story.

In the novel, Mary is a kind, middle-aged black woman, who takes in our protagonist, the invisible man, after his ordeal at the factory.

If you’re interested, the audiobook is narrated by Joe Norton and it's very well done. He is so expressive and well-paced, he really makes the story come alive.🥇
