Hello!
I am proud to announce that my first work of fiction is now complete and available for purchase! Hooray! It’s called Dead Man Knocking, which is a serious, serious title. It’s about death, and men, and knocking on things. Serious, serious stuff. No, it’s about a skeleton who tries to write knock-knock jokes. No! It’s seriously seriously about a young man coming to terms with his place in our modern world with its changing climate. Kinda like what we’re all doing right now.
I worked hard on this one, sitting at my typewriter going clickity-clackity-click. I shuffled through my papers, flipping through them, re-reading them, making notes and crossing things out, all while sipping a glass of whiskey like some weird Hemingway-wannabe. Of course, as is the case with everyone in our society, I am a slave to computers. So I took my papers and typed away with a softer version of the clickity-clackity-click. And I continued to edit, and now it is complete.
Quite a few people purchased my last book, which was a collection of “lessons” [check it out on my page], and I greatly appreciate that. It made me feel good, it boosted my confidence, and it helped financially. I mean, every bit helps, and I am trying to save some money for an abroad program that I will be doing. So, for all those reasons, thank you very much. And I would be even more appreciative if you found it in your beautiful heart to purchase this first novel of mine.
Now, you’ll see that the book has a very simple cover. It’s got the name of the book on it, it’s got my name on it, and it has some red hands on it. That’s pretty ominous, isn’t it? Those hands probably represent something, don’t they? I’m curious about that. And on the back there is some sort of attempt at humor. But we all learned and believe that you should not judge a book by its cover. So stop doing that! I need to stop doing it too! Judge a book by, I don’t know, the power of its words, or something.
Anyway, I think you’d like the book, and I think you should buy it, and read it. How does that sound? Pretty good, I’d say. Maybe you got an Amazon gift card for Christmas from your crazy uncle. That uncle that lives somewhere in the middle of rural Oregon, that you haven’t seen in a long time, but he still sends you a birthday card and a Christmas gift every year, but he doesn’t really know you, so he just sends money and gift cards. That uncle?
So you might be thinking, “Gee, I sure do appreciate this Amazon gift card, but what should I buy with it?” Maybe you should support an up-and-coming author as he begins his meteoric rise. That sounds like an interesting plan. Do that. Thank you.
Oh yeah, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Knocking-Lorcan-Lefty-Forrester/dp/B09K1TXHQ6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1HBPXKIX3A1Q5&keywords=lefty+forrester&qid=1640983769&sprefix=lefty+forreste%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1
