Redneck Word of the Day:

Naked

Oh, my Naked hurts! I gotta go see the chiropractor.

What did the invisible man say after winning an argument?

Do I make myself clear?

So the redneck joke is going in my new REDNECK LINGO book. I just thought of it, so you’re welcome. The invisible man joke is going in my new joke book for kids, plain for all to see. (🙃) My REDNECK LINGO books aren’t written for kids, but they are family friendly. My other joke books are written for kids, so they are for kid friendly families. Got it? Good.

Let’s talk about AI. A lot of readers are resorting to it now instead of traditional search engines for book recommendations. What does this mean for authors? We’ve got to make sure AI knows about our books. If you primarily sell your book on Amazon (nothing wrong with that), then AI isn’t going to know about it. You’ve got to inform it somehow, because Amazon won’t. So how do you do that? Goodreads is pretty good, and it’s owned by Amazon, so that’s a two-birds-one-stone kind of thing. The other way is to do what I’m doing right now, blog about it. The more your book is mentioned on the old World Wide Web for anyone to see, the better chances of an AI bot to come along and scrape it up for a reader. Also, you can use AI tools and leave the products shareable. That’s why I’ve got a couple of Google Notebook videos out there. Here comes one right now.

Got you a link to the book too. 👇👇👇

😱WHiTE😱

Why should you watch the video? To find out if it’s the kind of book for your middle grade kid to enjoy, of course. I mean, you’re a good parent. Aren’t you?

On the writing front, MoonDom Five is crawling along at a steady pace. Chapter Seventeen is complete, and we’re at 14,345 words. I’ve got a little preview coming later today over in the podcast section of this page, so stay tuned. Don’t worry. I’ll put it on Spotify too, so you can listen in the car or whatever kind of crazy shenanigans you get up to. There are sixty-seven redneck memes in the queue. Number sixty-eight (above) will be ready later today. The joke book for kids is one line shy of fifteen pages, though I do expect the pace to accelerate from snake to turtle over the fall months.

Well, thanks for navel gazing with me.

Until Next Time, God Bless!
