Shout out to Roy - @royreadsanything - for starting this conversation - check out his channel he's awesome.
- plus shout out to Pat @BookChatWithPat8668 for tagging me in her response to Roy and mentioning my novel The Brown Yelp Gang.

Go and listen to Right Said Fred - here is a link to the video they made for it.
