A Victory for Self Publishing

I caught an episode of Family Guy last night.

There was a quick joke – that Brian Griffin, the talking family dog, who is always working on a novel that Stewie makes fun of (“Faster than the Speed of Love”) had put it up on Amazon.

Meg noted it was unfair that Amazon marked it down to 99 cents.  (I don’t think they can do that but ok, for joke purposes). She was buttering up Brian with a compliment to get him to do her a favor.

And it was noted under his book that customers who bought Brian’s book also bought a potato and a toilet.

Huzzah!  Mainstream at last!

    Don’t forget that Snoopy was also a writing dog. He was always getting rejection letters telling him that he was the worst writer in the world.

    • True. If only self publishing had been available in Snoopy’s day. We’d be able to read all his tales about fighting the Red Baron on Amazon.

      Snoopy was a true pioneer, suffering so that Brian could sell his book online for 99 cents.

      The third generation of writing dogs might actually make some money.

    Damn…giving away a toilet? Never thought of that one! Must try! Not been to this site in a while now I think of it….how’s the posting every day thing going?

    • Muncie old bean! Where the heck have you been?

      Well customers who bought Brian’s book also bought a toilet so I don’t know what that means, if its a bad indictment of Brian’s book or something.

      The one post a day challenge has been going well. I started a series of posts called “Pop Culture Mysteries” about a private detective so let me know what you think.

      I’m not sure where I’m going with it but it’s kept me working 4 months on one idea so that’s a record for me. I usually switch ideas by now.

      What’s up with you? How’s your book stuff?
