My Book
A SHAMELESS PLUG
Recently, several people have pointed out to me that I do a crummy job of promoting myself. They were right. I stink at it.
I always used to defend myself by saying that I didn’t write to sell books, I wrote to tell stories, and possibly (hopefully) uplift people. My goal would be to help someone, even if that meant merely a single smile.
Then it was pointed out that I cannot do this if people do not read what I have written. So, I need to share – and that means to promote. That being said, I humbly remind everyone that my book is available, and will be on Amazon.com.
If anyone is thinking of purchasing a copy, but is reluctant, I ask that you ask those who have read it what they think about it. Also – since I am not focused on sales – it would be great if you let other people read it when you are done.
Lots of people have asked me about other books and writing that is available, so I will post this update on my current projects:
- Yes, the sequel to “God’s Only Mistake” will eventually be written. It is in the organizational stage right now.
- Another book will be out later this year. It will be my first novel (fiction) and will be primarily humor (I hope) with a message to it. It will deal with middle school kids, bullying, baseball, magic and mysterious event. It will be appropriate for younger readers and adults. I hope that whets your appetite.
- In case that book meets with success (who am I kidding – I am going to do this anyway) I will be writing a sequel to it as well. (Why should I quit when I am so far behind that it doesn’t matter?)
So that’s where I am right now. I hope this wasn’t as painful for you as it was for me. Here is the link, just in case you are interested.
PS: I wouldn’t mind it if you helpled me spread the word either. After writing this, I probably won’t be able to speak for a week.
Thanks.
For full-disclosure I will state that I am Joe’s friend. That has nothing to do with my opinion of his book. BUY IT. It is sensitive and humorous and shows the convoluted path of the father-son bond.
