I have an arbitrary, one-sided feud with @kenfollettauthor.bsky.social. Many years ago, my first book was titled Whiteout and battled Follett's book, Whiteout, for SEO supremacy (I lost). But now, on release day for my first trad pub book, One Night at Kedasi, Follett puts out this. It. is. on.

One Night at Kedasi is dangerously close to breaking the top 500 in comedy #SciFi! This book follows Zip, a jaded ship captain and her best friend Tom, a 5-foot tall talking shrimp on a dangerous adventure to an abandoned theme park planet. Help this #book break out: linktr.ee/MacAshton

"It has pages, some of them have words, look, some of them have pictures in them too." --My five star review of my own book. IDK if it ever gets less awkward pitching your own writing, but at least I have a sarcastic cohost to help me. www.youtube.com/shorts/Hdd4X...

The auto-generated thumbnail for Review Everything this week did me dirty 😂. That is the face of a man who just ate far too many blazin' cauliflower wings his cohost sent him as a bit. No regrets, they tasted great. Buffalo Wild Wings, we're open to sponsors. youtu.be/NHWYR215n9k?...

This week on Review Everything we've got the religious origins of filet o' fish, the TV show #Survivor, Conor's hot take on #Christmas, and a spicy update from our sauce episode last week. It's a great episode, listen/watch now! youtu.be/NHWYR215n9k?... #Podcast #Funny
