Thanks for all the congratulatory responses and comments, everyone!
Hey, guess what, my _second_ book just came out in digital format (it’s been available in paperback since March). _That Guy in Our Women’s Studies Class_ ==\> Amazon kindle and Apple Books and Barnes & Noble nook now avail!

As a published author, happy to see you got yours from the copy I bought. Pretty sure I was one of your first reviewers and likened you to Bukowski (sans the misogyny). 😁

Congratulations. For completing the book. That is a great reward in itself. And more so to you getting royalties. Well done. If you hadn’t got a cent or even been published, I would still give you kudos for accomplishing the writing of it.
To ramble on a bit in this realm. My coworker has written a book. Soon I will be likely the first to read it. So I will have to critique it. Dread. But hoping to be surprised. He has been keeping me apprised as to how he has written it under the expertise and rules of what he has gleaned online from experts in the field of writing. Rigidly so. What interesting situations life presents to you. Never suspected this one happening. I myself have two fleshed out stories. I can only admire those who could write them out. I still find it too daunting a task.
Again congratulations in all aspects of your accomplishment.
