To celebrate the release of my ebook on Amazon, I'm giving away free copies of it (to Americans with Amazon accounts) (and while supplies last)

submitted by PeBeFri to books 12 monthsMay 5, 2024 22:44:15 ago (+27/-1)     (books)

Realia

If you or your kid is really interested in this book, you can send me a direct message and I will send you a coupon code with instructions on how to redeem it.

Note: You need to be an American with an amazon.com account to redeem the coupon.

Note: Apparently I'm not supposed to ask you to review this book in exchange for a free copy, at least not directly. That said, an honest review of this book would be very, very, very, very much appreciated (provided, of course, it contains nothing that would offend other potential buyers -- please don't betray my trust in you).

EDIT: You can also request a coupon code by sending an email to the address seen at the bottom of the web page above.

Well done, you have a fun, fast-paced and interesting story and unique main character.

I enjoyed reading it and found the implicit lessons it teaches to be valuable.

I wish I had read this in school instead of overly drawn out and overly written BS books like The Great Gatsby and The Scarlett Letter.

Thank you.

I like that you want an honest review for real. There’s nothing more annoying than when you want the truth but somebody’s trying to be nice. I didn’t ask you to be nice I asked for honesty.

I'm not American however I wish you good luck with your publication.

Not American. There’s no such thing. If you live on earth you’re American. If you’re not American you’re probably from some other system. Which gay ass system are you from you little gay alien? I bet they’re all fags on your planet. I bet they care about women’s rights on your gay little planet wherever it is. Dont even tel me I don’t wanna know more about your stupid species.

I read some of the sample, seems pretty good

Reading is gay. You’re probably with that other “not American” alien fag from who gives a shit. Probably out mowing your gay alien lawn every day. Fag

the fuck is this data mining tactic?

[ - ] GreenSaint 2 points 12 monthsMay 6, 2024 07:56:10 ago (+2/-0)

I would like some data from you personally if you would send me your nudes please.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 12 monthsMay 6, 2024 08:27:21 ago (+2/-0)

video or photo?

[ - ] PeBeFri [op] 0 points 12 monthsMay 6, 2024 11:15:49 ago (+0/-0)

The kind that mines data about your opinion of my book. Not a very effective or malicious mining tactic, come to think of it.

You be doxxing everybody who requests your book

This accusation would be difficult to disprove. You can note the edit I've made to the post if it makes you feel better.

Is it based?

[ - ] PeBeFri [op] 1 point 12 monthsMay 6, 2024 11:19:04 ago (+1/-0)

As Margaret Mead once said: Children must be taught how to think, not what to think. I object to social justice warriors attempting to brainwash children into accepting their ideals through schooling and media, and I’m no hypocrite.

Aside from mentions of Presidents, there is no overtly political content in the book, from any viewpoint. (Reasonably astute readers, however, may notice some content that could be an interpreted as a subtle dig at SJWs.)

"I wrote Realia with boys in the fourth and fifth grades in mind. I was inspired to write it by the lack of interest in reading expressed by boys, with a dearth in books that boys would find appealing being one of the possible reasons. That said, it may very well prove appealing beyond that demographic"

Self published. Not published by Bertelsmann hiding behind an imprint.

The kind of thing we should be supporting.

Have you dropped it on Gab?

[ - ] PeBeFri [op] 0 points 12 monthsMay 6, 2024 11:17:45 ago (+0/-0)

I haven’t and won’t. While Upgoat, at its administrative level, merely touts itself as a haven for free speech, Gab’s extreme viewpoints are baked into its self-proclaimed raison d'être. Setting up an account there would not be good for PR or sales.

Any word-of-mouth publicity would be welcome, of course, provided it doesn’t imply that I endorse the means of doing so or the platform upon which it is posted.

So you've chosen your cult, and the entirety of beliefs wrapped up with it.

White boys are violent racists who aren't entitled to self defense. Blacks need jobs based only on their blackness, and should replace White men. White women should continue to be propagandized around the world as liberated whores to be used to satisfy nothing but a biological urge. Pornography is not demeaning, but a source of power. Drug use should be enabled under destigmatize, and drug users should get more sympathy because that's been working so well. Babies we used to save as premature who can cry for food and love shouldn't be adopted but killed. People who may face painful treatment should be euthanized to save money for the medical system.

I can see why you've chosen that cult. You're afraid of them.

If you truly believe all that can be extrapolated from my decision not to use a website because doing so would be bad for business, I suppose I can't do much to stop you.
