BOPPIN's Monthly Day Off

REALLY not likely to be the actual cover

Once a month, Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) pauses its ill-considered commitment to daily public posting, and instead preps a private post, offered only to our cherished paid supporters.

This month's private post for patrons is the fifth chapter of my eventual novel Meet The Frantiks! Meet The Frantiks! is a story told from the point of view of a 65-year-old widow who suddenly encounters real-life manifestations of a fictional British Invasion band, a made-for-TV combo that had only ever appeared on two episodes of a forgotten sitcom our protagonist loved when she was five. It was 1965. Anything could happen in 1965.

I'm very pleased with the novel's early progress. You can check out its first four chapters here. The fifth chapter is only available to patrons, who will receive it on Monday. 

Wanna join the select ranks of Boppin' patrons and find out more about what's happening to Valerie, Simon, Wally, Tristan, and (of course) Moishe? You can do so for a mere $3 a month: Fund me, baby! Regular daily public posting will resume tomorrow.
