Knit cap season is the best season...until it gets super cold and snowy, then it's for the birds.

Now I'm almost sad I got my copy from the publisher. Not really but a Captain Ron haiku and Monster butts and trucks?! I feel like I'm missing out.

MY EYES ARE JUST HOLOGRAMS has been out for 2 weeks. Perhaps a small sample of its wares is in order? This short beast is just one of the 60+ poems that populate the collection. If you dig my writing style in fiction, I think you'll definitely be warm to this.

I'm more of a lurker here, well, everywhere. So close to going full feral it isn't even funny. But I'm always a message away. :)

We've been working on it for nearly 4 years so I'm not sure hurry is a thing we can do, Lol.

John Boden @johnboden.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Thanks for this! RATTLESNAKE is batshit but not in the same way as CATTY...however, when we finally get BLACK SALV finished and polished, THAT...THAT is CATTY times 100%

The week (Getting old edition): Exchanged my new bifocals to replace the frames because I broke my nose is crooked with a bump where glasses sit and it was problematic with utilization of said lower focal. Got a super steroid blast in Carpal Tunnel wrist to stave off surgery til after the new year.

"SNARL, by author John Boden is one of those unique, quick and riveting reads that linger in the mind of the reader long after the book has been finished and set back upon the shelf." -Midwest Book Review I feel a little bit classier today. Only a little bit though.

Gloomy, rainy Saturday. Said I was going to go down to the office and write and here I sit listening to Roy Acuff instead.

John Boden @johnboden.bsky.social · 27/09/2023

Thank you. I'm a huge fan of your work as well. Your prose is magical.

John Boden @johnboden.bsky.social · 27/09/2023

SNARL is available through nearly any reputable bookseller, maybe even some less than reputable ones. @ericlarocca.bsky.social is not only a fantastic author (Seriously, EVERYTHING THE DARKNESS EATS is brilliant!) but an all-around good egg who would never lie to you. :)
