A favorite joke: two drunks stumble along the sidewalk where they see a dog licking himself. One says wistfully, “I wish I could do that.” The other fellow says, “I’d advise you to get his permission first.”

Consent matters. Particularly with pit bulls.

I’m unfortunately not in a position to buy books but I’ve put in an advance hold at my library.

Congratulations on that dog licking video - a tour de force. And congrats on your new book, too. I can't imagine it being as funny as the video with Barry White soundtrack... but I'll find out.

I love and am grateful for your humour and cleverly incisive wit, both in your Substack and your books. I LOL for real, often in public.

I'm currently reading Mother for Dinner and am in love with the characters, especially Seventh!

It's clear that your dry humour is fuelled by a gigantic heart that is exquisitely sensitive ❤️.

That sentence made me very happy.

That's the best book selling technique I've every seen. How is this not included in the Writer's Market advice? (or is it?)

Why?

Because they can, of course!!😂

You could promote dirt, and I would ask "How high?" Your self-effacement is disarming. Any preference where we purchase the Feh from?

I'm a fan on independents, but whatever works for you. Thanks!

Finished listening to Feh. Be careful. If you keep writing things that are so helpful to your readers you might end up in the self-help section.
