Hey there, everybody! Before we get started, I’ve got a housekeeping detail for Trout Nation and it is a DOOZY. Starting yesterday, you’ll be able to read my Sophie Scaife series (written as Abigail Barnette) on the Radish app! A new episode will release every day, Monday through Friday, and the first twenty or so episodes of\u00a0The Boss<\/em> are free so you can try before you buy!<\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0 shout out to whoever left the Amazon review for\u00a0Where We Land<\/em> that pointed out the book is nothing like\u00a0Poldark<\/em>. I’ve had so many people mention that to me over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Okay, now, let’s get into\u00a0this<\/em> book. The one you came here for. The one you don’t want to keep reading but find yourself inexplicably drawn back to.<\/p>\n

Let’s get into.<\/p>\n

The Mister.<\/em><\/p>\n

Which, by the by, was a “deal of the day” on several book blogs last week when it was offered as a $2.99 sale ebook on Amazon. Like\u00a0Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em> and its sequels,\u00a0The Mister<\/em> has also been moved into categories it does not belong in to retain the illusion of super high sales numbers. Right now, it’s the #2 bestseller in “Mothers and Children Fiction” and #4 in “Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense Literary Fiction.”<\/p>\n

Again, let me be clear:\u00a0The Mister<\/em> would be a dream success for any author who previously hadn’t written the bestselling book of all time or whatever. But if you are that author, and your publishing house has thrown gobs of money behind your book launch? And you’ve been on television all over the world to promote it? And done numerous print interviews?<\/p>\n

You shouldn’t be getting your ass handed to you in your own category by Kindle Unlimited banging-my-billionaire-stepbrother books.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Love.<\/em> Confusing. Irrational. Frustrating…Exhilarating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exciting and new! Come aboard! We’re expecting you! THE LOOOOOOOOVE BOOOOOOOAT!<\/p>\n

I am madly, crazily, ridiculously<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“In love with Josh!”<\/p>\n
