"I’m an optimist at heart. That’s not the cool thing to say, I know. For some reason people love a good nihilist. They love someone who shakes their fist at the powers that be, blaming someone else for all their problems."
Nihilists shake their fists, optimists throw them.
Going to order this, sounds up my alley! And props for highlighting a self published book! I’m sure there are so many great ones out there, want to read more. Plus, I’m considering this route for my WIP too and this is all very inspiring!
Just finished HELL OR HANGOVER. Enjoyed and also have some criticism. Will drop a review in a week or two. My debut publication story was quite similar in many ways.
Alex, congratulations on your book! The numbers are great and you're on the way. I've been both self-published and commercially published. I've desperately wanted a commercial house for my latest, but there doesn't seem to be any interest. Your success has pushed me a little closer to going the Amazon KDP route once again.

I just dropped a new podcast episode about this topic, self publishing, book editing, agents, my own self published novel and process, etc: https://michaelmohr.substack.com/p/podcast-episode-2-literary-agents-9e7
Lil Wayne really said “pop that pussy like a zit” 😂🤮
He is a genius with metaphors

Thank you for your encouraging words!
It's the way to go, man. You can also try new indie presses like Arcade and Heresy.
