This is going to start off a little weird, but hang with me.

I had a jolly good time with a couple of plumbers this morning. I know, I know; it sounds like the plot to a horrible movie behind the beaded curtain at your old-school rural video store. Being visibly on opposite ends of the “beliefs” scale, we still joked and laughed as though someone they voted for wasn’t trying to bring on the apocalypse or some type of nightmarish prophecy only matched in Zelda games. It gave me a bit of hope, so I bought them lunch.

Then, I got to thinking about my recent household budget changes. It’s not pretty. I like coffee. Then I got to thinking about how this is going to affect peoples’ book budgets. Not that they buy my books, but still; if someone suddenly felt the urge to do so, I’d surly hate my lust for money was the deciding factor.

I’ve said it a hundred times, and I’ll say it a hundred more: I didn’t become a writer for the money; I did it for the chicks. If I wanted money, I would’ve pursued becoming a strip club DJ. That’s the REAL ‘big brother’, yo…

On a serious note, we all need distractions now more than ever. I made all my Kindle books .99 (even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can download the Kindle app for free), and all my Amazon paperbacks $9.99. Seriously, I read more on my Kindle app on my laptop and phone than I do on my actual Kindle.
Now, signed copies means that I have to put on pants, so those run a bit more. I currently have everything on hand, but those are vanity purchases, right? I’m talking about the struggling readers all over the country who need any and all available to pry their eyes from fear-fetched cable news. I will keep the Amazon prices as rock-bottom as I can, though.
Seriously, check out that Kindle app. It feels great to read more often, even if you’re not reading something I wrote. Please stay safe out there. This is the part where many are waking up, and they don’t care.
