I Inherited a Mixed Animal from Uncle Living in Woods (the novel) [View all]

It will be out in June 2025. Yay! That is, if the world is still here, if publishing and reading and laughing are still legal, if Loyola University Maryland is still here. And it will have the full title. Born in 2004 in the DU Lounge. Almost published 3 times. To be published finally in 2025. So it will be of age. Did i say Yay!? I believe i did. DU, its birthplace, will be in the acknowledgments.
