"How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea" is out today!

It's July, and you know what that means: a new Newsflesh novella! This year's release is "How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea," in which Mahir Gowda travels to Australia and tries to come to terms with the fact that people are people everywhere in the world.

If you've been missing the world of Feed, and have $2.99 to spare, this is the adventure for you! (I know, I know, "if you have three bucks, this is awesome" isn't the best marketing slogan in the world, but it's what I can come up with before eight o'clock in the morning. Work with me.)

Mahir! Air travel! Zombie kangaroos! This novella has everything, and it should have you. Available now in the US and Canada, July 17th in the United Kingdom.

Newsflesh novella, yay!

I know I read it as such, yeah. I wouldn't presume to assume Seanan's intentions, but the wording felt very much like that oft-quoted catchcry of 'A dingo stole my baby!'. Except this time it wasn't a dingo.

It wasn't meant to be; I used a kangaroo and (I thought) a pretty clear "my ex did it but I'm having issues with that" through line to try to avoid real-world comparisons. I quite muffed that one, apparently. :(

Oh, don't worry, it was really clear that it wasn't actually the kangaroo. It was just similar enough to be a bit amusing for this Aussie in particular who's pretty used to people quoting that dingo line. Don't worry, honeybunch.
