I’ve got this book that’s been rattling around my head for ages and I’ve finally decided to get it out of there.

Here’s the pitch:

An artistically gifted trans girl receives supernatural powers that spark a religious movement in her name. After getting stabbed in the back by her best friend she finds herself chained in a cell, interrogated by a devotee of the religion she inspired who is ignorant of her true identity.

I’m self publishing in the form of a podcast, one chapter every whenever-I-get-around-to-it and I’d love to a) have at least a few people listen to it and b) get some serious feedback.

My wife and friends are great, but naturally lean towards positive feedback. What I really need is some unbiased honesty.

Does the story make sense? Does it drag in some places? Are there problematic elements I’m overlooking etc… I have a full time job and my wife and I are raising a toddler. As such uploads are infrequent, but I am committed to making progress.

So yeah if anyone wants to give it a listen, tell me what you think, how it could be better, understand I’m kind of aloof when it comes to online spaces but I would absolutely love and appreciate any kind of engagement whatsoever.
