I must have missed something. Am I supposed to feel shame about self-promotion? If I don't, does that make me a sociopath? How about a Chimp?
My story,
Monkey Talk, is going to be free on
Amazon on August 10 and 11. It's about a Chimp who can give a lecture on cybernetics at MIT, but who can't seem to get a waiter's attention. The genre is supposed to be sci-fi - somewhere between humor and tragedy. People who read this post, and who download the story, and who read it, and who review it, will qualify for their own cybernetic neural-implant which will enable them to converse with
everything (including lichen).
Or, if you would like to converse with lichen right now, you can contact me at
tlucasearle.com and ask for a review copy (PDF file).
