Update: (Hrs Later) So I am out of the final surgery that needed to be done on my colon. They did a spinal tap thing that helped with numbing me from the waist down pain management. I don't know all of the details at this time but from what I understand they got the cancer out.

How does one do a months worth of marketing in one tweet 🤔 One cannot One accepts that you can’t always be “on it”,vows to do better tomorrow, and moves on. That’s what one is doing. The Lost Company will get the marketing it deserves tomorrow ❤️ amzn.eu/d/9bUCwpY

I owe all my writer friends an apology, especially the ones whose books currently sit on my kindle barely started or not read at all! Writing has stolen all my reading time! It won’t always be so dear friends I promise!
Story pitch Instead of Call of Cthulhu- Call of Cruzcampo. It’s about an author who should be doing DIY, but when a 31 degree heatwave strikes, he starts hearing voices. Suddenly, he is hiding in the shade, not completing jobs and drinking this mysterious yet delicious drink.

In this crazy heat wave we are having you need to find a spot in the shade with a chilled drink and read a book. What book you ask? I have just the one!! amzn.eu/d/6xhl8IR
The 1973 Wickerman is class. The Nic Cage one is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. That’s all.
I dare you to read my book, I f*ckin dare you! amzn.eu/d/8PiMEV5
Crossroads of Twilight has its problems, but it also had Rodel Itrulde 👌😮💨
Has anyone who has read the books seen the Foundation series by Apple? I’ve heard good things, but it’s a bad adaptation?
