‘Riddle Me This, White Man?’
The Mystery of A Crackpot Bestseller

JAN/11/16
Of my 90-plus books listed for sale on Amazon, I control the publication of seventy or so. In my capacity of editor at Punch Buggy Books, I am an unmitigated disaster. B, one of my readers, even sent me an action plan, which, if followed seems like it will expand my sales by a multiple of ten or more. However, marketing these books would take away from my maniacally guarded writing time as I blunder esoterically into the shadowed halls of gibbering madness, seemingly…
On the way to my own Lovecraftian demise, I did find time to publish a book of my articles and reviews concerning the works of Robert E. Howard. This is currently my bestselling print title, and it boggles the mind. There has been no advertising of this book beyond this site, and no reviews that I know of. The sales I am tracking, while modest—even anemic by commercial standards [King would no doubt take Howard’s way out if he posted sales this low]—are about what I experienced with books that received positive reviews from writers with a much larger base than mine, and of the boxing books, where I enjoy 20 times my normal readership in terms of online views.
So, my question is, why is Dark Art of an Arуan Mystic selling? I figured after Dominick bought his copy that would be it.
Thanks you for checking in.

There may be other reasons, but...I told people about it.

I stumbled upon your REH book on Amazon. From there, I tracked down this site. Being as how I enjoy reading about some of your other topics (men's rights, boxing/combat, "cultural issues" etc), I've stuck around.

I know I've been the direct cause of two sales. Maybe more, indirectly.

Keep up the good work, James.

What deuce said mostly through word of mouth. I purchased a few and left a few reviews.
