This is a shameless plug to buy my book "Rigby's Roads" from http://www.barnesandnoble.com/
http://www.amazon.com/
I would like to sell 1,578,731 copies of my book "Rigby's Roads" in the next two weeks so I can retire, grow my hair into a pony tail and write all day.
Providing my own marketing here, based on emails from my readers reasons why the book was important to them, I submit the following reasons.
Buy my book "Rigby's Roads" as a present for yourself or others if:
You want to read Tom Hank's next movie before he does.
You enjoy a great love story.
You know someone who has just lost a spouse.
You have a husband who wants to buy a motorcycle.
You are in love again.
You know a teenager who lives on the computer.
You think outside of the box.
You have a wife who wants to buy a motorcycle.
You are curious about the FBI, terrorists and bikers.
You know someone who is depressed with life.
You enjoy a great mystery.
You are going through a mid-life crisis.
You enjoy a great adventure.
You need a push to set goals in your life.
You always wanted to go to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

You are a fan of the Food Channel.
You want to know what the Harley Davidson culture is really like.
You want to be prepared for the sequel, Maddy's Secret, now in stores.
You want a great view of Colorado.
You want to teach your teenager the importance of friends.
You want to challenge yourself.
You like to read a fast book that reads just like a movie.
You are a klutz when it comes to fixing things.
You always wanted to be in a bar fight.
You always wanted to be a knight in shining armor.
You make presentations at work.
Your life needs a kick in the ass.
You want to read a really great story that can make you laugh and cry.
Your troubles seem to be too many.
You are going through a mid-life crisis.
You want to read a book that you will read again, because you really enjoyed it.
You are curious how a person with dyslexia can write a book.

Taht alone and the H.D. Culture and a few others, would be our reason - You make presentations at work.
How about the BEST o f all, "YOU LOVE THE SUN IN YOUR FACE"
or YOU LOVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT WINDOWS, let the air blow your hair!
These #2 are GREAT too, You are curious how a person with dyslexia can write a book.
You want to read a book that will change your life.
YOU'RE an AMAZING INDIV. Michael!

Michael,
I could think of at least 50 other reasons to buy this powerful book, but none would be as persuasive as the ones you outline!
I had the great pleasure of reading this book cover to cover and must say that if everyone in life read this book, we MIGHT just get along better with each other.
I've made my list of 50 things and am still adding to it!
As for Ed's creative suggestion that you stand a better chance of growing body parts.....well not sure that would be on your list of 50 things, but he sure is a funny son of a gun, isn't he? LOL
I wish you only the best my friend.

| All those reasons seem to be enough to buy yours or anyones book, an excellent plug, Mike...should have made it into poetic form, more people at the den seem to read the poems rather than the short stories, but I will plug it too...as for 1.5 million and some change, I think you have a better chance of growing boobs and losing your manhood in the process...;) Ed |
