Title: Pathetic self-promotion: I have a new book out
Post by: Raph on November 08, 2015, 04:07:33 PM
...that most of you are uninterested in reading, but I shall mention it anyway because one must promote, promote, promote.

If any of you have a vaguely literary bent, or even want to just buy it in order to make fun of it... there it is.

People seem to be successfully making fun of it without having bought it. It's the f13 way.  :why_so_serious:

It is currently #13 on the Amazon Kindle American Poetry chart. And Amazon made it a Hot Pick in Poetry too. So I shall laugh all the way to the bank with the royalties from my seven sales!

Hmpf.  If you aren't offering signed copies then never mind!

Actually, the book sounds interesting.  If it makes it to the Nook, I'll could probably throw a few dollars your way.

Good for you. If I liked poetry or Kindle I'd buy it. I'm sort of 40-60 on Americans too. A lot working against you there.

There are several in the book that aren't on the site, but yeah, that's the bulk of them.
