Well /lit/ I did it.
I got a book of mine published by a real, although small, publisher.
I can die happy knowing I achieved that much.
Pic related, it's my book

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 27 01:12:42 2020 No.14614119 >>14614097 Chipping away at some more short stories, but giving man birth to this thing had taken a lot out of me to be honest. I'm resting up a bit.

It's a collection of short stories loosely based on my time living and working at remote road houses on the Nullarbor and in the NT. If you've ever read the short stories of W. Somerset Maugham and Henry Lawson that's the vibe I've aimed for.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 27 01:58:24 2020 No.14614318 >>14614079 Look interesting, but I have to ask before buying it. Are you an atheist?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 27 02:02:28 2020 No.14614336 >>14614318 I can't truthfully say that I am. I'm very suspicious of organized religion and I haven't set foot in church for years but I don't think I can commit to atheism. Besides which I don't want to be associated with Fedora tippers.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 27 02:07:06 2020 No.14614349 Can it be bought digitally? You should share one of the book's stories to give us a taste. Or at least the introduction/preface

From Amazon: "A spectacularly understated page-turner. Each story enters a world apart, often spoken with a poetic dry wit, sometimes acerbic to the point of controversial, honest to the point of brutal. Some people and situations are so funny you'll wish you'd been there. Many times you wonder how some have survived - some don't. From Ceduna, Madura, Mundrabilla, Kimba, and Yalata near the dog fence, Lewis has met, worked, and lived with the creme-de-la-creme of drifters and transients, as well as the fourth and fifth generational outback station owners. In the great Australian outback - among the dry red soil, the mulga and saltbushes, where the kestrels observe and keep their secrets - beware who you're talking to." Helen Travers, author of 'A Little Lower Than Angels'
