Some more updates from The Great Hiatus that was July.
My friend Hoade [1] got his novel, Ain't That America published! [2] He says that it should be available at Amazon [3] Real Soon Now, but still, this is great news.
It's not his first novel he wrote (that would be The Act [4] which I think is still publishable) but the first to be published.
