A full-cast audiobook podcast about a skeptical ufologist, a Cape Cod reporter, an alien-obsessed cult, and a very odd golden retriever. A fast sci-fi comedy of mystery, satire, and absurdity—Vonnegut meets Adams. #HSaudiobook https://linktr.ee/HSaudiobook

High Strangeness Novel by Eric Bickernicks Something strange has arrived on Cape Cod, and it’s not just the UFOs. A funny novel that makes light of conspiracy theories and UFO folklore. Weird lit that's offbeat, bizarre and unusual.

Here: adeadguy.com/high-strange... - 80,000 word novel too much to bear? I've got a 120 page movie script version. :-)

I’m experimenting with audiobook promo on Instagram and will share what I learn. No links, 3-min max video, image-heavy feed—so I’m trying short chapter trailers with quotes + motion graphics. First one is up now. Let’s see if it works.

OK, since you're a Brit...i can't tell if it's a sarcastic "lololo" - or if you actually thought it was funny. ;-)

How's this for a physics joke: Schrödinger walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Do you want a drink?” Schrödinger replies, “I don’t know… maybe.” No way you're following me back. ;-)
