It’s been one hell of a month. We started this sucker with Rotten Little Animals Day, and I just ended it with quite a personal victory. Let me tell you, I’ve learned a few lifetimes worth of lessons this April. And I’ve got a lot of YOU to thank for the lessons about asking for help, about sharing gifts and imaginations, and about the love and support of people who can never be strangers to me again. I’ve had a great time this month, giving and receiving. I’m happy to say that April of Twenty-Ten has rocked my ass, my world, my book sales, and my soul.

RLA. This book is ON FIRE. I only need to sell fifty more copies to meet my goal of 200 Amazon sales in one year. That’s right! Fifty more. Who’dya know wants ta buy a book? Really. That’s only fifty more friends of friends. Fifty more people who get to share in the Natural wonder of it all. Can you believe it?! I can. Thank you, friends. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do to help me continue my path as a World Dominating Bizarro Writing Imagination Machine. I promise that as soon as these fifty copies are out the door, I’ll be writing more. And MORE. Do you want more? Cuz I’ve got ideas…

Rotten Little Animals will soon be published in the German language by Voodoo Press in Austria. I’m pretty-well attributing this to RLA Day, because I was approached by the publishers just after that. So again, thank you. Because of your help, that rotten little book will make its way to Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Anyone in France wanna publish a book? Thank you, everyone, for making Rotten Little Animals international.

Here’s what I know: I’ll sell those copies, and I’ll do it quickly. I know that because I know that what I see for my future is what my future will be. I know that what I set my mind to is what I will create. And I’m creating a bright future filled with fiction. And you’re helping me create it. Thank you!!

Thank you to my wife, Terri Plewa. She’s been the key to my keeping on the attracting track. It’s her who’s been the level-head of our relationship. She’s the one who gives me ideas and helps me accomplish them. Thanks, Terri, for coming up with all the brilliant things you do to help my book be successful. Thank you especially for this month of loving me, understanding me, helping me move forward, supporting me, standing right beside me, even through flying bullshit. Thank you for everything you do, and for getting me through this very long Dark Night. Anyone who’d like to advance through this life with grace and prosperity might want to pay some attention to the brilliance that shines from my friend and wife. She’s got some great gifts, and she’s sharing them with everyone.

Thank you to everyone this month who has helped me to grow. This means you, mean woman next door. You’re certainly one of my best friends in the universe. You got me out of my house these past ten days and I explored Nature and reconnected, and felt better than I have in years. I now know some new places to go, and I’m going to get my fly rod fixed, get a fishing license, and catch some rainbows. I found the greatest bed and breakfast. I got to work with my friend Breezy on her farm. I regained my power as the divine ruler of my universe. I found support in my family and strengthened our love, plus I got to hang out with them in the mountains. I watched as lessons were prepared for me. I learned them. Thank you. Thank you, woman next door, for being my adversary, and for reminding me that I love you deeply for it. Thank you for helping me to grow.

Rotten Little Animals Day was a HUGE success! Thank you, everyone, for taking the time, money, and effort out of your day to help me out. I will always remember RLA Day as a huge showing of the support I have from all of you. I really, REALLY appreciate it. Thank YOU.

I don’t have an exact number on my sales yesterday, but I DO know that my sales rank reached an all-time low number. Out of the millions of books that Amazon carries, Rotten Little Animals reached 4200 in popularity. THAT is amazing. I woke up this morning, and it was still under 10,000. It’s at 12,000 right now. It’s usually in the hundreds of thousands. So it shows that we worked the algorithms right yesterday. Mission accomplished.

Word about Rotten Little Animals is spreading. THANK YOU. There are blog entries today about the book, and about promoting it online. Keep those coming, my friends.

The book has interest from all over the world right now. There are some interesting developments developing.

Please feel free to keep the momentum picking up. Tell people about the book, about the push, about ruling Amazon and making YOUR book rise through its ranks by doing the same sort of thing.

This is one shining success on my rise to cult author superstar status. I’m totally serious about continuing that rise, and totally serious about taking you all with me along that crazy trip. This is really just the beginning. There’s still zombie cat puppets running around here. There are questions unanswered. There are ties untied–like, what of Itsy’s brother?! There’s still ways to have fun with Rotten Little Animals. Still more things to do with it together, you and I. And then there shall be more…

THANK YOU all for making yesterday so successful. Thanks for coming with me.

And remember Bizarro Central for all your bizarro needs.

Thanks for reading!

It’s RLA Day! Look how happy that makes animals!

It’s the day to go to Amazon and get a copy of Rotten Little Animals! It’s the day that we appreciate all of our rotten little animals. Give them love, give them a treat, read them a book! Read them MY book! What better way to celebrate the day?

The serious goal of this day can be found in the previous entry.

I’m trying to shake up some algorithmic love for my book. I’m trying to skyrocket into super-fame. I’m trying to get a BOOK DEAL!

Please help me out, my friendly peeps.

And have a Rotten Little Day!
