American Book Publishing will release my historical fiction LINCOLN IN THE BASEMENT later this year, and I'd like to send you you a copy for review.
War Secretary Edwin Stanton puts the Lincolns under guard in the White House basement and substitutes lookalikes so he can pursue his own policies. For more information go to jerrycowling.com.
If this premise interests you, please send me your submission guidelines.
Thanks,
Jerry Cowling

A real go-getter, that Jerry.

LINCOLN IN THE CLOSET would have been much more potent.

three weeks pass...

What- you didn't get yours yet?

I don't know, maybe its just me, but I can't picture Nabokov or Joyce standing on a street corner asking every passerby to read his book. I think if you've sunk to begging for individual readers you're in pretty rough shape.

The question of spam notwithstanding, shame on you all
for equating an entrepreneurial spirit with shoddy literature.
BTW, I have it on good authority Nabokov and Joyce hawked
their wares on the street like WHORES!

They dressed their books in black net stockings? Shiny pink hot pants? Feather boas? Peek-a-boo blouses? We need to know NOW!

Well, you know, Olympia Press.

one month passes...

To set the record straight, I sent this message to several persons who do reviews on Civil War novels. It was not intended to be placed on the internet at large, and I certainly did not mean to present myself as a whore; however, since I've already been accused of being a whore I might as well throw my legs in the air and urge everyone to go to my website, jerrycowling.com, and learn all about my exciting novel which will be available through Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com OCTOBER FIRST, REPEAT, OCTOBER FIRST. It's filled with almost accurate history, lots of sex and violence and a liberal swipe at Republican puppet presidents. Well, not that much sex and violence. My publisher was prudish and cut all the sex out.
Sound interesting? Everybody please buy my novel on OCTOBER FIRST, REPEAT, OCTOBER FIRST from Amazon so I can make its bestseller list for one day. That way the next time I'm on the street hawking my wares I can say I have an Amazon bestseller. Come on, everybody,buy a lot of books. I had a heart attack last spring and I need all the money I can get to pay for my pills.

God, I wish I could accuse people of being whores and that instantly made them act like whores. Then I could just throw a few bucks their way and have sex with them. It would make things so much easier.
