Feeling Super-Smart

Some of us are smarter than others.

Today I’m feeling excessively intelligent, because I just received an email from Burrow Press, informing me that I’ll receive my copy of The Call: a virtual parable by Pat Rushin this week. That means I’ll get to read the book that inspired Terry Gilliam’s film, The Zero Theorem waaaaaaay before those of you who haven’t yet purchased your 2015 Burrow Press subscription.

I’ll also get exclusive background content that mere mortals who don’t have a subscription will never, ever see.  Just sayin’.

I suspect we Burrow Press subscribers also have whiter, brighter smiles and less belly-button lint than non-subscribers. I’m feeling pretty smug about that, too.

 

The Things I Don’t See by Nathan Holic

Nathan Holic’s second novella, The Things I Don’t See, will be released by Main Street Rag Publishing Company in January.  But you can pre-order now!

The book focuses on Orlando at the height (or bottom?) of the housing bust, as a working-class family moves into their dream home in a brand-new neighborhood…only to find that the neighborhood itself has gone bankrupt, and the rest of the homes will never be built.
