There would be a detective who possessed the ability to speak with animals. He'd interrogate them and try to bribe them with treats or catnip, perhaps tell them that if they don't fess up they'd all be sent to the veternarian. (less)

“It looks like the end of the world, in a literal sense. In one unnaturally straight line, everything just ends. The ground, the sky, everything. It makes no sense: the world is round; every world is round.”
Maria Levato, Journey to Rallem

“To coax the sweet juices from your bodies most holy anatomy, I will dedicate myself to your whims and pledge myself to your yearning. O' Goddess, 'tis ye I worship.”
Maria Levato, Journey to Rallem

Alvaro Mania Hi Maria,

I’m so glad we could connect here on Goodreads. Since the platform no longer allows direct messaging, I thought I’d reach out this way. I recently came across your book Journey to Rallem, and I was really drawn to the depth of your characters and the world you’ve created. Your story of Josie and her companions, along with the intricate blend of fantasy, romance, and spiritual themes, sounds incredibly compelling.

I would love to connect via email to discuss your work. If you’re comfortable, you can share your email with me, or you can reach me directly at (alvaromaniabookexpert@gmail.com)
. No pressure at all, I completely understand if you prefer not to share your contact, but I would truly enjoy a conversation about your writing and world-building.

Looking forward to connecting,
Alvaro ManiaMaria Levato
