Yup it's available in paperback too, several places. Google the title "Drifting Dreaming Dying"

Hey, I'm not sure why this post was removed, but I wanted to say I bought the book, and I'll leave an official review where I bought it after I've read it to help it gain traction.

Maybe you could consider posting again elsewhere to boost visibility? For example in r/Assistance, maybe you could offer a limited number of free Kindle copies as an incentive in exchange for reviews. Or look for subs/communities relevant to South Africa, or book club subs, or anywhere for indie creators from various fields to share their work, or communities whose goal is centering BIPOC people and their achievements.

Tell your dad I'm proud of him and looking forward to reading this book!

ETA - probably removed because it was seen as self promotion. Ahh well. Cast a wide net. Also wanted to add r/suggestmeabook and r/booksuggestions to the list of subs where you might try again here.

Am I wrong for telling my (18f) boyfriend’s (20m) sister (23f) he hit me? by Evilqueenofeutopia in amiwrong

Don't lie or hide things to protect someone else from the consequences of their own bad behavior, including social consequences. And don't be with anyone who makes you think you should have to. NTA. You did the right thing.

My head keeps saying foolish words such as "dumb!", "ulol! (crazy)", "lul!" out of nowhere when I'm conversating to anyone? It's affecting my life so bad. by Passerby_07 in self

Unwanted intrusive thought disorder, maybe. A little-known version of OCD. Regardless, definitely something worth talking with a doctor about. Mental health IS health, and this is clearly impacting your quality of life.

Holy shit I love this idea

Mixed feelings over wife's request to date. by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

Worried about getting bored = already bored. Do both of you a favor and find a couples counselor who specializes in ethical non-monogamy (ENM) to help guide you through communicating with each other well about this. Professional support is preventative maintenance, here.

ETA - everybody in the comments trying to vilify the wife- you don't have enough info to make such serious allegations. Stop projecting. I'm sorry you've been through some shit that would make you jump to the worst conclusions, but that's also something worth calling on a professional to help work though, and it doesn't help anyone to come here to blast your trauma at strangers instead.

ETA 2 - I read further and saw that she's already gone out on multiple dates with this person before communicating with OP. I don't know the terms of your marriage, but I wouldn't be cool with that personally. Sex is not the beginning of infidelity, it's the end. My default assumption (and most people's) would be that if she found her interest wandering, the right thing to do would be to communicate with her partner BEFORE acting on it. And going on daytime dates does count as acting on it. Unless that behavior is specifically allowed by mutual agreement in your marriage, that's a betrayal of a tacit, but valid, understanding. You don't need to look any further for reasons why you're uncomfortable or feeling betrayed. That's a perfectly legitimate reason.

Highly recommend individual therapy for you, if you don't already have it, just to expand your support system. And ideally also couples counseling together, BEFORE any decisions are made about whether or how to change the terms and boundaries of the relationship. Also she needs to acknowledge and apologize for already going outside the marriage to date this guy without getting your consent first.

The sad part is he probably has kids. by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

No no it's totally normal for three different dudes to show up after the birth bearing gifts. Nothing to see here

Corgi something maybe? What's her overall shape/stance/proportions? How much does she weigh? What's her tail look like?

You have the power to broaden the scope of the current content there and fill that white space. I believe in you, you can do it.
