It really did. Thanks for asking. More people than I expected and sold a fair few books. So, it’s all good. Now trying to get the bloody thing into bookstores and line up some book signing events. Why isn’t there a page on the net that appears the moment someone begins writing a novel, that screams. “You really shouldn’t do this!! Do you have any idea the pain and suffering you’re about to endure?”

That’s awesome man! Haha and I feel that. I’m pitching a book to agents now and I had no clue this would be the HARDEST part about writing. 😂

Yeah, when I began researching agents and publishers, I knew I’d completely fucked myself over. Flutter is far too long for a debut novel from an unknown, the subject matter is far too controversial, and the genre isn’t pop culture-ish enough.

If you send me a link I’d love to order a copy if it’s available online.

Somehow, I missed this. For some reason, certainly not my ineptitude towards most things technologically related, nor my age, I can’t figure out how to send to a link to my novel via Amazon. So I’ll do it this way. If you search for, “They Flutter Behind You”, under their books category, you’ll find it.

All best,

Brian.
