Salvatore “Sal” Slocum is a sales representative at True North, LLC, a direct marketing company hawking a self-improvement system based upon the personal experiences and wisdom of the company’s founder, the enigmatic Burt Leathers. Thirty years earlier a blinding flash of light erased Leathers’ memory, yet also imbued him with strange persuasive powers and a keen intuition. Even more curious – any compass within his vicinity points directly at him. Taken together, Leathers interpreted these signs as proof that he had achieved enlightenment, and promptly set about building a business empire imparting his knowledge to the masses for fifty dollars a pop.

One morning, shortly after arriving for work, Sal is summoned to Leathers’ office and given the shocking news that he has been chosen to take over the company following his boss’s imminent departure. The part Sal wasn’t told about – the death threats being sent in by a disgruntled customer named Don Bagley, a Stetson-wearing, gun-toting, wannabe cowboy who has vowed to exact vengeance against the company for ripping him off.
As Bagley travels across the country toward True North’s headquarters, he has no idea that he himself is being pursued by a woman with whom he had a chance encounter at a roadside bar, one whose identity and relationship to both Salvatore Slocum and Burt Leathers will change everything.

August had some very good reads and it was between this one and Not Forever, But For Now by Chuck Palahniuk. This one I actually enjoyed more and didn‘t feel like I needed a brain scrape afterwards. 😅 As I said originally, it honestly feels like a Coen Brothers movie, I laughed out loud several times. Will very likely reread this one someday.

Thanks to @CBee for the fab artwork. She is truly the Queen of Collage 👸

Life has been hectic the last few weeks, to the point that I can barely remember the last time I cracked a book. Hoping things slow down soon so I can enjoy what's usually my favorite month of the year. 🎃🍁

At least I got some good news today from Sarah at Reading Nook, who let me know that an interview she did with me months ago has just been published. Link in comments.

CBee Happy to help and congrats on the interview 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6mo

The_Penniless_Author @cbee There you go, we'll form a symbiotic, cross-promtional partnership. 🤝 I feel as though this is the start of something big 😁 8mo
BarbaraBB @The_Penniless_Author You‘re doing a great job! 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @BarbaraBB Thanks. I assume this book will do about what my last novel did and sell 300-400 copies, which equates to fewer royalties than you'd think between bookstore returns and the different rates between physical books, Kindle, KU, etc. Plus I end up spending most of my royalties on marketing anyway, so I really do end up "penniless" ? Which is fine - it's a hobby for me, so I'm more concerned with maximizing readers than making money. 8mo
BarbaraBB If you really feel that way you can be so proud of being published and of being able to write and express yourself in a book. It is something I really envy! 8mo
CBee @BarbaraBB I agree with you! You should definitely be proud, Randy! @The_Penniless_Author 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @CBee @BarbaraBB Well, if you both insist...😊 8mo

4 ⭐️s

I have to say I really loved this book. It feels a lot like a Coen brothers movie or a Twilight Zone episode. The characters are really well written so that even for a short read, I feel like I can picture them all perfectly. Colleen is my favorite. I laughed out loud several times. The dialogue feels real and I love the author‘s descriptive style. ⬇️

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I like how there‘s not a pretty little bow tied up by the end. Life isn‘t like that, and I think this story does a fantastic job of showing how everyone is always on their own journey, doing their best from womb to grave. 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Saying it "feels a lot like a Coen brothers movie" might be the best compliment anyone could pay me. ? Thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 8mo
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @The_Penniless_Author You‘re very welcome! Lol, I‘m glad you took it as a compliment, I know some people don‘t like their films, but I‘m a huge fan. 😅 8mo

This is a character-driven story, and the author does setting up the characters and getting them down the road. It‘s fairly predictable (there's a major clue in the back cover summary) but despite the fact it's easy to figure out what's what, it actually had a little bit of a (sad) twist at the end that I hadn't expected. A fun, easy read.

Book 1/6 for #20in4

The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead First, my cats speak the Queen's English, thank you very much. Second, Sophie is also excited about the book, she just doesn't wear her emotions on her sleeve (except for exhaustion and/or despair, of course, when she pulls out her trademark faceplant 😂). 8mo

The_Penniless_Author @TheSpineView Just sending a reminder that the Kindle version of my book is now available, as we had discussed over email. I know you've got a busy schedule, so whenever you're able to get to it is fine. Thanks again for agreeing to take a look! 😊 8mo
TheSpineView @The_Penniless_Author I have it on my list to read. 8mo
CBee @The_Penniless_Author so I noticed I can get it on Kindle Unlimited, but I want to make sure you get paid! I have no idea how that works for authors and wasn‘t sure if it would be more financially good for you to have me get the physical book or the kindle one? Mind you I can also buy it on Kindle for $5….. 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @CBee Apparently, you receive royalties per page read for Kindle Unlimited downloads. It's a little confusing, something like $.0043 for every page of my book that you scroll through. I think a physical sale or regular Kindle download probably pays slightly more, but in the end I'm more concerned with how many people read/own it, so whatever works best for you is fine by me. Thanks for getting it 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @CBee whoops! Meant to say "thanks for getting it regardless of the format" but bumped the send button too soon. ? 8mo
CBee @The_Penniless_Author okay, cool! Will get it today 😊 8mo

Sophie's had a difficult week - her owners went out of town for the weekend; the store only had "Mariner's Catch" Friskies in stock (her least favorite); and to top it off, my novel TRUE NORTH is being released in two days, and she still doesn't know how to read!

Luckily, you don't have that problem (I assume). Pre-order your copy of TRUE NORTH now and chase away the hump day blues!
