I think there was a movie about you. What was it called? Dumb and Dumber?

Messaihs are known to mess things up and then leave. What's the book about anyway? I hope it's not about some skateboarding legend.

Its a retelling of the New Testament, set in a fantasy land called Acre.

Hey if you're lucky you may be confused with the widely respected Oxford New Testament scholar Chris Tuckett! Can only help sales! Nice cover btw.

Yeah, he's had enough books written about him. We need some books about other Skateboard legends...

Big improvement over the simple pinkish-purple cover of your previous book. Which I bought, by the way. See, not all conservatives are close-minded.

I am, but some aren't.

It was you! You're the one who bought it!!







BTW Macgorilla, nice. But seriously, what's it about?

I have a weakness for little-known authors. Because I know how it feels. But mostly because they're the best authors, in my opinion.

Everyone should write a book. The more you think it sucks, the more I'll probably like it.

A book by a little-known or unknown author is one of those rare instances when the message isn't as important as the messenger.

There are no books that suck.

edit: I wish I was just half as good as MacGorilla.
