Read this unless yer scared....

Hey, for anybody who might be sick and tired of reading all the same old fantasy novel stuff on here, or just looking for something a little different, I'm here to shamelessly promote my novel-in-progress, "Slapping the Joneses". It's based on the true story of my drug-addled experiences selling magazines door-to-door on a travelling sales crew.

For some reason, not a lot of people have written back any comments or critiques of it, even though there are several chapters posted and there has been quite a few viewings of it. It is gritty and vulgar, but it is REAL!!

I've always believed truth is stranger than fiction, and a pack of 20-somethings getting wasted and selling things door to door is much crazier and scarier than any dungeons and dragons, ghosts and magic crap you'll find in any fantasy or horror novel.

I'd appreciate any comments or brutal critiques anyone may wish to give.

Or, you can just keep on reading the same old fantasy garbage, it's your choice.

I couldn't read this. Too terrified. Could someone summerize it for me in a not-so-scary way? Until then, I'll just stick with reading the same old fantasy garbage, since that's my only other option.

It's just your average guys-do-drugs-and-do wacky, wacky stuff!!!!!!! (note the number of exclamation marks!!!!!! - ultra-wacky!!!!!)

The twist is they're also door to door salesman. Wacky boys do mundane job.

And there's a goldfish involved.

That's as far as I got before I ran screaming in terror.
