Ahhhh congratulations James!!! This novel was one of my favorite reads of 2024 and it’s cool to read about its fruition. I’m so happy to hear that its way of making it into the world has changed your writing life (and therefore your life as a whole) for the better. Your ability to believe in your own growth is heartening and inspiring.

Damn, I didn't know that pretending to like something was even an option for fiction!!

Loved this, as a serial novel. I've been delaying reading the ending.

Honestly, I loved going through all my old notebooks and seeing the context in which the story grew but I had no idea if anyone was actually gonna care about that part so I’m really pleased to hear it came across well. Always appreciate you and your encouragement, Clancy, thank you very much!!
