Said it before and I'll say it again, this is one of the books I really wish was ALREADY published!

You are so kind, Sam! Thank you! 😊

softlywild.bsky.social•11 days ago

Great pitch. I would totally read this 💫

shakethescales.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh gosh, thank you! It'll never be published unfortunately - far too political and weird (believe me, I've tried).

You can read it for free right here, if you like:

Thank you. I look forward to reading more! Shame you can’t get it published… maybe one day? 🤞

That’s a Sean the sheep episode, if they start throwing apples it’s a direct lift!

Flock is sort of a cross between Watership Down, Animal Farm, The Fall of the Roman Empire, and Mad Max...

Historical figures from the long history of English protest populate the text and a seam of footnotes runs below the landscape of the story.

This book is so unique and fascinating! Your snips are always so intriguing. The Animal Farm influence is obvious but it's also very different! Can't wait to eventually read this one, hopefully!

Thank you so much! I'm afraid it's not going to be published and I'm not sure about doing it myself. I've submitted to radical political publishers, as well as mainstream, but it's too unusual and publishers are businesses, so I get it. It is here though, free for all...

Oh yeah that's right, you always mention you have it available for free!

I'm definitely gonna check it out. My current "to read" list is quite long 😭 so I don't know when I'll get to it, but I'll add it to the list.

And yeah, not surprising a book like that would be tough to sell to publishers!
