* Description:
Most of the galaxy wants to destroy Earth for being an utter nuisance – except for one group of Intergalactizens, beings who thrive on betting against unpredictable odds and disguising themselves as cats.

They’re running experiments to test if Earthlings can be controlled. If these fur-clad intergalactizens succeed in proving to the United Intergalactic Commission that they've tamed the planet, then they will forever retain custody of Earth. They're currently logging their difficulties and successes in a famous Guide Book:

“The Intergalactizen’s Guide to Taming Earthlings”

No humans have ever known about any of this nor The Guide – until Jerry.

Jerry is a Londoner who fled the city because he hates cats, people, and wants to get rich winning Blackjack games online with his knack for always calculating the odds correctly … in peace and quiet.

Yet his solitude was shattered upon hearing the transmission from The Guide that he accidentally hacked into.

Now the only person Jerry does care about, his best mate Declan, is a target of these space cats for “training” to surrender his free will amidst a house demolition gone wrong. Plus, a space cat discovers Jerry is spying on them.

Worse still, this Intergalactizen space cat has become obsessed with taming Jerry.

This novella is currently only available in its entirety on JWEllenhallNovelist.Substack.com.

Please note: The first chapter is free to read, just like a book preview on the Kindle store. It’s only $5 to read the whole thing by going to my SubStack link and then clicking on the option to become a paid subscriber. Cancel at any time, and you’ll have at least 30 days to read it regardless.

If you take longer than a month to read it, or you want more time to enjoy the other paywalled posts I’ve written besides this novella, then it’s only $5 per month to keep reading all my other works too.

Thank you for the response, Emmy.
One more question: Would it be eligible for the Goodreads database if I compile the series into an ebook and sell it through my Ko-Fi store as well? (and when I do that, should I add a comment to this thread to notify you, or start a new thread?)

The problem here isn't so much the format, but where and how it is available.
An ebook, available to purchase directly, would be, at first sight, eligible to be added to GR.

If you do that, please start a new request, as I'm closing this one
