I often chase down a book mentioned by the Wall St. Journal from a business standpoint as it piques my interest. That was how I first found "Wool" which was well done and a phenomena since it came out in self published e-book form first, later released as a hardback and trade paperback once it became an e-book smash.Well, according to WSJ Russell Blake does sell a gazillion ebooks and his output is amazing and supposedly James Patterson has asked him to co-write one of his stories. (Although I tend to disdain that practice and avoid those books by Patterson, Clancy, etc.) So I decided to download one of his thrillers and will get to it shortly but this one sounded interesting as well.One of the funniest satirical pieces I have read in a long time! Great for readers and a must for those into self publishing. Really, as far as the writing tips go, a manual of what not to do but as far as the marketing and attitude tips, a real panic.
