I have really loved the comments on BEEF - VOLUME I.
The first comment was by May Hackman:
I appreciate your compliment, May!
I waited 17 years to share my fiction with the world. It was hard.
My favorite comment was the second one.
Thanks, Bob. I agree. To me, I published the best fiction on Substack in 2024.
My boy, David Alade, posted a comment celebrating his favorite quote from the joint:
Anyone should feel free to post their favorite section of the story, or quote the section of the joint you hated the most. I am happy to read the comment either way!
The audio has many fans.
Laura Sunnen was one of them.
Thank you so much! The remaining stories in the book are just as raw or more so. We leaving nothing on the bone.
Another great quote about the audio from my home girl, Allegra!
I appreciate that, Allegra. I think the audio hits because you hear how the prose closely matches a voice that is real to me.
My childhood family friend, Reed Cochran, told me she loved the audio like a radio record. She could fully feel the vulnerability.
She posted about it on Facebook:
I appreciate you sharing the post about the audio, Reed!
We agree, Bus Girl is a problem.
That being said, the most surprising comment came from a reader I never imagined:
Stunned. David didn’t believe me. He said it was just me. He said I should respond. Naw. I already did. She just hasn’t read it yet.
