I'm not sure if this book is about people or wolves or werewolves (space werewolves?).

However if you are interested, you can google it, seems like there is a book by this title.

Clearly written by someone who is not me or my husband, but I guess even AI marketeers make mistakes <sarcasm>

Screen cap of a partial book club spam email from a Aida Kane. The email (most likely written by AI) goes on to talk about some book that neither I nor my husband wrote. It ends with encouraging the author to join some book club, which most likely does not exist.

Apparently 'Aida Kane' thinks me and my husband @waynesantos.bsky.social are 1 person, and that we (I?) write uh... sci-fi romantasy...

Cool cool, I suppose if the kidlit career goes kaput, I/we can pivot towards this ๐Ÿ˜†

(Screenshot to show what this sort of book club scam/spam emails looks like)

An illustrated postcard with five spot illustrations of a kid mimicking animal movements. She crawls like an inchworm, sits like a toad, runs like a chipmunk, bows like a crane, and howls like a coyote. It reads in hand-lettered text, "Julian Plum, represented by Naomi Davis at BookEnds Literary, hello@julianplum.com"

The Uni Ded kinda sounds sorta fitting though

(I would complain to the library, unless this is some heavy comedy/ satire, in which case Iโ€™d still complain that itโ€™s shelved wrongly).
