Happy Thursday, 3.5 Readers.
Bookshelf Q. Battler here.
Afraid it’s one of those days where I don’t have much for you at all.
On a whim, I went back and tweeted every Indie Author that Alien Jones has promoted thus far since his Ask the Alien column started in March.
Sixteen so far and another author has already made an inquiry for this Sunday.
Check out @bookshelfbattle ‘s most recent tweets for all the indie book promo goodness.
Alien Jones’ question for you:
Why haven’t you asked the alien a question and gotten your plug yet?
Alien Jones has been on a hot streak. This Sunday will mark 5 whole consecutive weeks of the Esteemed Brainy One answering a question. (He’s answered questions from 16 going on 17 writers, but has sometimes gone a week or two here and there with no one consulting his bulbous brain.)
Can we keep this momentum going?
Ask the Alien a question and get in the cue!
It sure would make the Mighty Potentate happy and the happier the MP is, the less likely Alien Jones is to get vaporized by his boss.

Dear Alien Jones, how does an indie author go about engaging with your alien self? http://theroadtripwriter.com/titles
That’s easy! You just ask him a question. He’ll answer it with his wit and wisdom and drop plugs for your book and or blog along the way. (Is that your question, because that’d be a short answer!)
FYI – Jake’s still working on your Pop Culture Mystery Question, but as you might have read lately, he’s been busy. He’ll get to it for sure though.
Dear Alien Jones,
Who is Jon Snow’s mother?
The Esteemed Brainy One will perform a mind meld with George RR Martin and get back to you.
Coolness. Then I’ll tell you about my book. 🙂
Do you have one he should plug?
Yes, I do. It’s a spicy contemporary romance called Luke & Bella: Two Streets Over. When he gets back to me on the Jon Snow thing, I’ll be happy to include a link. 🙂
Do you know, I asked the Alien a question, and I should have mentioned a book by someone who looks remarkably like me 🙂 if I had bobbed hair, wore sensible walking dresses and carried a parasol — Jane Barcroft’s Murder Across The Board. It’s an a-clef political parody that’s about ten years out of date. but some people liked it.

Weird thing about the 2000’s, I feel like 10 years ago isn’t out of date it all sort of meshes together.
Alien Jones, please conduct some research into this.
