best-sellers

I have a great book. It__ called Stantasyland. Except I don__ have the money to buy a million copies to put it on the bestsellers list.

This book is written in a barren period of loss with an attempt to move forward towards substance.

Once you__e read too many trashy best-sellers, you begin to look for something with substance, something that attempts to define the universe.

Most people I meet are stupid. Now, nobody likes to be labeled as stupid because they don__ want to know the truth about themselves, that they__e more useful dead than alive. The vast majority of those that meet me for the first time don__ believe that I__e worked as a College Professor, or that I make a living as a writer. In fact, many have stopped talking to me because they believe I make a living doing something illegal, something criminal. It__ easier for them to believe that I__ just a criminal, than to accept that I__ one of the most famous bestselling writers in the entire planet. The ones that reach the next level, will ask me if I belong to any secret organization, if I speak to demons or if I channel the dead, or even if I steal information from the internet and other authors. Now, what they can__ see, is that the more they talk such things, the more they show me their real nature. They are very, really very, stupid. They can__ see an elephant in front of their nose; they can__ see an intelligent human being in front of their face; they are indeed very stupid and that__ a fact, not an assumption.

I think of myself as a bad writer with big ideas, but I'd rather be that than a big writer with bad ideas.

I__ contemplating if book sales and promotions can actually be rigged like so many other things in our everyday lives?

Seriously, when you see a new book fresh on the stand and in big letters it says __ Million Copies Sold,_ did you ever wonder who bought them?

Novels by serious writers of genius often eventually become best-sellers, but most contemporary best-sellers are written by second-class writers whose psychological brew contains a touch of naïvety, a touch of sentimentality, the story-telling gift, and a mysterious sympathy with the day-dreams of ordinary people.

We all draw different lines. Sometimes they intersect. Sometimes they don__. We agree on forms of evil, but judge degrees of it, saying only the worst of humanity is truly bad. And everything along the gray lines is subject to opinion. These are the lines I constantly live on, crossing through intersections that lead down paths I barely remember. And at certain times, for unknown reasons, the grim reality of consequence decides to rear its ugly head at me, and forces me to see what I__e done. And I find myself staring at_THE DEVIL.

Readers often tell me after they've read the books, they find it difficult to sum up the plot in a simple way. My response is, "It's a story about the love a father shares for his daughter. All the rest is just filler."- MJ Mancini, on his best-selling trilogy, "Revelation".
