I stumbled across Blake's blog some time back and fell in love with his witty sense of humour and his ability to lampoon anything. He's a deft writer, especially at comedy. Everything in this book is dripping with satire and nearly every one of his suggestions is an idea of what not to do. John Locke and others come away pretty scathed, too.This is a great read if you're sick of all the ebooks and blogs out there by indie authors (who have sold untold dozens of books) telling you how you can be an indie superstar and that all you need is a good marketing plan. No, Blake is pretty clear: some people are born to write and sell, others are born to read and buy. He's a merciless author and a breath of fresh air.
