A Note Concerning the Release of My Book, or, Hey, Something I Wrote is Available on Amazon.com!
Greetings, gentle readers, and congratulations on witnessing an event that has become as rare as finding an honest politician: That’s right, it’s an updated GGR post! Despite my assertions that I would not wait several months to update this little corner of the Internet, I have indeed been remiss in my blogging responsibilities, and it has been months since I last broke my communicative silence.
But I’m happy to report that I’m back, if for no other reason than to – what else? – hock my new book, Waco, which is available from a number of reputable online retailers! That’s right, the book I spent the last half of last year working on is coming ever closer to being a physical reality in brick-and-mortar stores around the country, but it’s available for pre-orders on major booksellers’ Web sites RIGHT NOW. (Note: I am barely able to restrain my Inner Teenage Girl at the moment; she’s the part of me that wanted to end the previous sentence with, “OMG! ;)!!!!11!!1!!” Thank God I was able to keep her under wraps.)
It would be unbelievably gauche of me to suggest you purchase Waco at any one of these retailers over the other, as they will all count towards my sales totals, but if I were able to crack the top 500,000 books available on Amazon.com, I would probably just about die, so if putting me near the verge of the Great Beyond is something that gives you any amount of joy, try Amazon first. Otherwise, I make the following offer to any and all who purchase my book: If you bring me a copy, I will sign it for you, free of charge, and – even better! – I’ll sign it with Whatever You Want Me To Say. That’s right, no matter how dirty, inappropriate, salacious, delicious, or destructive, I will autograph your copy of Waco with my very own Sharpie – no questions asked.
So get out there and start inflating my sales numbers, gentle readers!
Until next time, this is the Curmudgeon saying that though I have been absent from your screens the past few months, rest assured that you have not been absent from my heart. (Note: the preceding sentence was intended as a sop to your consciences so that you might be motivated to purchase my book. I hope that wasn’t too transparent.)

Congratulations on this accomplishment. I will choose to overlook your shameless self-promotion (for now), because I know you are truly humbled by this experience. I can't wait to read it.
I'll be waiting for your book signing!
So, if I buy your book, you would sign it "I've always thought you were smarter than me and I have always wanted to get in your pants" you would do it? Cause that's kind of sick. But I'll do it because I love to make you squirm. ;)
@Melzie: Ewww.
Congratulations on the book, I just pre-ordered mine. And as I write this comment your book is ranked #407,210 on Amazon so another congratulations for smashing the 500,000 mark :)
I just placed my order with Amazon.com. I can't wait to read it. Congratulations! I will expect a signing as well. Now I must think about what I want you to write...
