@alicefraser.bsky.social
Hey Alice,

I just listened to the cast about your book. I am so sorry that has happened to you.

I think your audiobook idea was brilliant. Perfect format for your existing audience too. I went bought a copy right away.

It’s only 15 usd which is a steal!

Earlier this year I was next to a date where one party’s best foot forward involved a detailed explanation of arcane points of EU law - gripping for the wrong reason ….
