Exactly this. Manuel from Fawlty Towers didn't learn English from Substack. He learned English from a boook.
Books. They are AWESOME. You purchase one, and you OWN IT. It's like, THERE right on your shelf. It doesn't require regular online patches. You don't need to be online to read it. Books fucking RULE.

I really enjoyed pitching my novel, The Freakin' Destination, & chatting with attendees & other authors at the Ice Age Trail Annual Conference on Saturday. Thanks to the Ice Age Trail Alliance for offering us space inside this cozy, bat-free cave!

I'm reading Shakespeare's King Henry VIII and can't help but imagine Cardinal Wolsey looking a lot like Bishop Brennan.

I was talking to another writer today about the fact that occasionally, the reward for writing a book is money, if you happen to write a book a lot of people buy. That is not most books. With most books, the reward is that you wrote the damn book and you’re proud of it. (1/2)

My new novel, The Freakin’ Destination, not only recounts a gripping adventure on Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail, it also shares the ultimate best use for gross instant oatmeal (spoiler: don’t eat it). Book available at thebumblepoint.com and select fine bookstores.

My brand-new first novel is in my first bookstore: the venerated Janke Bookstore in Wausau, Wis. Great store and great people!

I'm stoked! Advance copies of my novel, The Freakin' Destination, are here! A couple of empty-nester backpacking novices hike Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail. Hijinks ensue. Epiphanies are had. Available March 2024 (I hope!).
