I got on here to plug that we were $XX away from the next Stretch Goal in the ZNB #Kickstarter ...but we've already hit it! We're now at $6,047. That means TWO Stretch Goals have been unlocked. How many more can we get? Back now!

When I’m having a cup of Earl Grey tea, am I the only one that says in a Picard voice, “Computer, Earl Grey, hot.”? #tea #StarTrek

So, I’m 135 votes behind. The deadline for reader engagement is 3/20/26. I’m hoping a fraction of the thousands of my friends can take a few minutes to read three chapters and vote.

I know we all have a ton of things taking up our time and it’s a big ask. Still, please consider.

A huge “thanks” to those of you who took the time to read the three quick chapters and leave a like. The additional comments will make my agent quite happy as well. Glad you love Fix Larson as much as I do. #libraroprize #privatedetective #dwarfism #thriller
