BYCU: Special Edition

The Adventures of Beer Man is available at Amazon, on your Kindle (or Kindle app).

I read last month about the self-publishing revolution that is sweeping the book world. Authors can post their books to Kindle and receive 35% of the royalties. I thought to myself, "Heck, I have some unpublished books lying around." I found three, but only two of them readily-available in MS Word format. I worked on the Beer Man formatting for a few hours, asked Marie to design a cover, then uploaded it. It wasn't too hard. I mostly did it as an experiment, but I'm glad I got Beer Man out there. It'd been years since I'd read it and, although I think the prose could use tightening here and there, the jokes still made me chuckle. Of course, I'm a self-conceited little bore, but I think others will find the book humorous as well. It's only a novella, just 30,000 words.

I would be greatly appreciative if you'd buy a copy and, if you can do so sincerely, post a positive review at Amazon. I'd also be greatly appreciative if you'd send the link to your friends. For 99 cents, they can get a chuckle, read something unusual, and perform a random act of kindness for a stranger.

Many thanks. I'm pretty excited about this non-event.

And for my GKC readers out there: I challenge any of you to find a more Chestertonian work of fiction produced in the past 20 years (detective stories excepted). I'm not saying the book is on par with Chesterton, but as I re-read it, I was really struck by the heavy influence Chesterton held over me back then. He still influences me, of course, but back then, the influence was apparently overwhelming.
