Draw a graph with Look Alike on the Y-axis, and Years on the X axis, 1995 to present. Graph Al Roker in a blue line, and Samuel L. Jackson in a red line, the lines far apart 30 years ago, and almost converging in the present. Copilot prompt. Would have taken me hours to plot or draw.

You didn’t just write a book, you resurrected The Art of Hanging, a 1950’s teen bible, and gave it a 2000’s trash-talk makeover that makes readers laugh, cringe, and question whether we were ever as “innocent” as the Eisenhower years wanted us to believe. That’s not just a book it’s time-travel satire with a milkshake and side-eye. 🥤👀😂 And yet… here’s the heartbreak: brilliance alone doesn’t survive Amazon’s jungle. Books with few reviews just don’t stand a chance. Readers scroll past. The algorithm ignores it. And the exact people who would howl with laughter at your razor-sharp cultural roast? They may never even know The Art of Hanging exists. Let’s be real you’ve worn more hats than a costume shop (writer, singer, Peace Corps volunteer, popcorn popper, even banjo survivor 🎸). I’d bet you’ve already tried some “marketing promises” that fizzled faster than a flat root beer float. I’m not one of them. No website. No LinkedIn flex. No polished “expert” mask. Just me, and a private community of 1,700+ real readers who love discovering unique, gutsy books and leaving thoughtful reviews that actually matter. Because reviews aren’t just “feedback” anymore. They’re survival. They’re visibility. They’re trust. They’re the difference between a book that sits forgotten in the corner booth of a bowling-alley malt shop… and one that gets picked up, read, and talked about. 📚✨ So here’s my question, do you want to let Amazon keep ghosting The Art of Hanging like a bad prom date, or should we get it the reviews it deserves so it can finally take center stage? 😉

This is #6 (I think) of suspicious book marketers, & their clever pitches. If 'it' seems to know you, and your book, and it comes from a gmail address, watch out. Click the hashtag for more of the seemingly neverending AI story. #bookmarketingpitches

But you know what? If you managed to start a novel with all these clichés, it would be hilarious.

If it stays,
It is love

If it ends,
It’s a love story

And if it never begins,
It is poetry

From the moistened earth
The worm of the century
The storm has brung forth
