You have been warned…
Still there?
My but you’re a trooper.
Okay, let’s hit it:
One of my favorite scenes in my first novel “Zombie Cop” (book 1 of my “Enoch Wars” series — book 3 will be published very soon) is when a woman starts mouthing off to the zombie cop about her “rights” and the zombie cop (who was 12 feet tall or something by then) tells her the only right she has is the right to remain silent — and then proceeds to bite her head off in one chomp.
Heh.
I don’t know why I get such a kick out of that scene.
But, I do.
Which brings me to the point:
My novels are quite brutal and violent. They are not “happy” monster stories. They are stories packed with evil characters, who do very evil things, in a very evil world. They are not “nice” books. And they are full of “naughty” language — the way people and monsters alike think inside their minds in the spiritually dark Illinois town the books revolve around.
And you know what else?
They tend to be either loved or hated by those who read them.
They are very polarizing.
Especially since I shamelessly use monsters to show just how monstrous I think human beings can be to one another.
It’s not just violence and derangement for no reason.
There is often a statement on the current human condition being made amidst the carnage.
(Kinda like the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, which did the same, but with politics).
Anyway, I realize probably you couldn’t care less.
After all, if you subscribe to this list you didn’t subscribe to hear about my novels — you subscribed to learn about business, marketing, persuasion, email marketing, copywriting, etc.
Well, guess what?
I just taught you a lesson in all these things.
(Between the lines.)
Did you catch the lesson…
Again, the 3rd novel is set to be published soon.
(Probably this month.)
To get caught up on the storyline, check out the first two novels (you can read the first chapters of both books free on Amazon) here:
