Decided to make it five signed books, not three, I'm giving away to people who share this.
Because my thieving ex-publishers can fuck off.
Because I believe this book is good enough to be read and enjoyed for many years.
Because it's the only pension I'll have.
And because why fucking not.

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The Village Message Board

“Could you say something for our website about why you think it’s positive to publish with Unbound?” they asked.
“Ok,” I said, trying to forget the late payments and my numerous other concerns, believing everything they told me, trying to assume the best of people, not the worst.
What an idiot.
