Yes, we should finally start taking orders next week (and it will most likely start shipping the week after). We’ll soon have a site up for NTM Publishing, Inc., where there will a PDF sample of the book (including a couple of my favorite In My Worlds that I can’t imagine anyone not finding them the funniest things ever). Even better than reading a sample, you’ll be able to order the book, and it will be $16.95 plus shipping. All proceeds will go to the get Frank J. and family out of debt fund. We’ll offer packs of books (maybe 3 or 5… we have to think on it) at a discount so you can buy them for everyone for Christmas since there are a criminal number of people who have yet to read an In My World.
How much extra a signed copy will cost hasn’t been determined yet (there’s extra shipping and handling to do that), but not only will you a signature in your book but also a Frank J. self-portrait (that will explain what a hat means).
I especially like the back cover. The picture of me is in an outtake based on doing the photo shoot next to a golf course. I also have actual quotes from famous people about me (all taken out of context). Maybe I’ll get an image of the back cover up later (which include the cool NTM Publishing logo).
BTW, the book is 368 pages with a Foreword, Acknowledgments, a table of contents, and 95 In My Worlds. I think it includes some of the funniest stuff I ever wrote, and I can’t wait to get more reactions on it.
Yay! You can’t wait for the book, and I can’t wait to get your money! Everyone wins!
Now on to plot how to promote my book. Saying really controversial stuff so you get on the news seems to work. Any ideas of controversial stances I can take?
Maybe somebody already asked you this and I missed it but, are you planning to send a copy to the White House?
It would be rude not to.
You could confess to killing Jon Benett…and then after the big news “Splash” is over you can then peddle your book…
Ok, I’m in for a 3 pack. Free publicity is easy, Publish a dutch version and throw in some Mohammed cartoons. It worked for their news paper.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice book. Whatever. When the hell is the next podcast coming out? It’s bad enough I gave up cigarettes, but I’ve run out of IMAO podcasts to listen to! Dammit. Maybe I should give heroin a try to take my mind of things…
You could also IM Mark Foley and see if that gets some press.
You could claim that Nancy Pelosi exchanged explicit emails and instant messages with you when you were a teenager, and see if the press covers it. Of course, I don’t know if I’d want to admit to that even if it were true.
Say that George Bush doesn’t care about black people!
you could claim to be a neo consevative who is pro guns, pro war, pro bush and anti anti-american, sometimes referred to as “democrats”
Gay people cure terrorism.
‘Nuff said…..
Compare Bush to Hitler! Wait, that’s been done too many times.
Okay, camp out in a ditch by Bush’s ranch…okay, same problem. Crucify yourself onstage?
I got nothin’
Anti-abortion, man.
I mean, REALLY anti-abortion. Like, be prepared to kill the mother to prevent one from happening!
That’s easy. Just send it to highly placed hard core lefties, and since they have no sense of humor, they will think it is all grand political satire written by one of their own, and will publicize it.
They may never figure it out.
I can just see you being interviewed by Katie Couric, as the ultimate Bush hater. The new Borat of the Left!
I always kinda figured that your ‘Nuke the Moon’ essay was a little controversial. Edgy, even.
You should add that to the copy you’re going to send to the White House.
I didn’t know your last name was Fleming.
“I didn’t know your last name was Fleming.”
Yeah I thought it was ‘J.’
