A description of my blog. http://www.my-site.com 1993619237067327382 Two Questions and an Announcement 2008/06/#1993619237067327382 2008-06-05 I'm preempting the Thursday Shout-Out this week for an announcement and a couple of questions. First, the announcement:

I'm going to be taking a little break from blogging next week. I'm in the process of lining up some very special guest posters to keep you entertained while I'm gone. I'll be back tomorrow with the Mystery Switch contest results, but I'll be out all next week.

Now for the questions.

A few of you may have heard that I wrote a book - a little volume called Antisocial Commentary: From the Secret Files of the Mattress Police. It's a collection some of my best writing from the first year of this blog, plus some original stuff. It retails for $11.95 plus shipping, but occasionally I have offered copies for $9.95 with free shipping. I can do this because (1) I don't really care about making any money on the book; and (2) If I buy a bunch of copies, I can get them at enough of a discount that I'm not losing (much) money by selling them for that amount. Since a lot of you are new readers (that is, new to this blog, not new to reading -- although how could would it be if someone was using this blog to learn how to read?), I thought I would ask how many of you would like to buy a copy at $9.95 with free shipping (that's a savings of $5.00 over the Lulu price). If there are enough of you to make it worthwhile, I'll put in another order. I was just browsing through the book the other day, and while it's true that I may be a little biased, I have to say that it's a pretty damn funny book. Definitely worth $9.95. If you don't believe me, read some of these reviews. Anyway, if you're interested, leave a comment below or send me an email at diesel -at- mattresspolice.com.

The second question is related to the first: As it's been nearly a year (and over a hundred posts) since the book came out, I'm wondering if it's time to start assembling Antisocial Commentary Volume 2. If I do publish a second volume, it will probably take a while, because I've got a lot of other stuff going on right now. I need to finish the manuscript for my novel, for one thing. But it's something that's been bouncing around my brain for a while, and was wondering how much interest there was.

Ok, that's it for today. Come back tomorrow to find out what label is going to be for the mystery switch!
