The Third Prophecy of Hybobolus Clune

FYI: The Signatures help thread You can add a picture of your book and a hotlink to your signature. It gives some nice visibility.
Thanks @Wayne Mack -appreciate the advice. Have added a picture but it's not the cover (which is a picture of a turd my wife drew, and is bad taste). Should really have thought about that, as apart from swearing and mild drinking/ drug use the story is pretty much a family friendly comedy. Anyways, the picture is from an open mic storytelling thing and the story was a spinoff backstory about one of the characters so hopefully it counts. (y)
 
Was interviewed on Worlds of Complexity about the book and all things writing. Ended up with a string of technical difficulties but we got something recorded in the end. The video looks like I've connected in from 1996 so at least it fits in with the story...
Plugged WotW and @Elckerlyc 's website with some painfully bad Dutch pronunciation, but the IG limit seems to have cut that part -pretty much the story of the afternoon.
WoC are up to great work promoting indie authors for the pure love of writing, and worth checking out/ supporting (y)
The Worlds of Complexity on Instagram: "Hey everyone! Here it is, I am sorry for the quality of the video as we were having technical difficulties and had to do by other means, but I hope you still enjoy it. Adapt and overcome! Today I interviewed @irishsciencefiction author of “The Prophecy Of Hybobolus Clune” we got into his backstory as a comedian and how he connects the two worlds in his hilarious take on a world going through a alien invasion.

Just giving this a re-post to see if anyone is interested in listening. Have sent out links to a few of the Facebook 'Free Audiobook' pages and the spiel is below. It was my first book so is a bit rough and unsteady but I think there is something in it, even if you don't laugh there is the authenticity of the (exaggerated) experience.
The bit about worse for wear alternative lifestyle festival folk seeing TV for the first time in years, and convincing themselves the Hollywood blockbuster they were watching was reality, and setting out to warn others, is real. As is the daft folk who tagged along on their human Chicken Licken escapade. They didn't actually save the world, but the intention was there -and I think that speaks volumes about the human condition ;)

I've been writing properly for about six years. In that time I've done my best to learn the craft (I think I have four more years to become properly qualified). I've learned that I don't have what it takes to be a quality writer. I am, however, fairly sure I can create an audiobook to match and possibly top the best of them (someone commented after listening to Nancy G: 'Jaysus, would love to hear Stephen Fry try and do that!').
Anyways, my long term plan is to keep creating these stories ('Nancy Goodaim' follows this book, and her story will be followed by 'Special Agent Black Socks').

FREE COMEDY AUDIOBOOK
I'm a standup comedian and love writing so my books are straight to narration performance pieces. They are close to audio drama, but still a novel. I have two full length novels (one at 3.5hrsn and one currently at 11hrs). I have made both free to listen. Linked below is the shorter one.
It's a comedic story about friendship, and how the world needs slackers. It's set in the 1990s Irish dance music subculture (there is some mild swearing and drug use, which was normal at the time). It's actually based on a true story, though highly exaggerated.
I'm confident it will make you smile -if it does then a Spotify of Audible review would more than return the favour.
