is released & on the loose everywhere today, June 10.

"Read Sample" is available on the dreaded Amazon (first 6 chapters -- they're short).

Try bookshop dot org if you're in the market, they donate to indie bookstores.

May you find a copy of the best thing I've ever written and enjoy it to the fullest in joy and laughter and wonder and love, as i heartfully intended.

I admittedly haven't thought about it for years. Good think I haven't yet switched over to a newer laptop and still have my bookmarks.

Thanks to all those who helped me in any way with I Inherited
a Mixed Animal from Uncle Living in Woods—the good folks at
Democratic Underground (where Lemuel and Shane and Yonder
et al. came to be)....
