Renewed Hope for LOS Tots Network?

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:38:02 +0000

The first, well, the 2nd if we’re including my autobiography, book I’ve written is a 120,000 word masterpiece that may never fill the pages of a paperback book. The entire book is about vigilantism, which by itself is a great topic. However, the subject of the vigilante attacks are pedophiles. International pedophiles to be exact. This topic is taboo in the publishing world. Publishers WILL NOT publish a pro-pedophile book - which I’m happy about personally. But, they have blinders on to the entire subject, pedophilia. They lump any book that has a main character or a main focus of pedophilia as taboo. Which - in this case certainly is silly.

My entire book deals with repaying the sickness that pedophiles exhibit with twisted sickness in-kind.

The main character of my book - a psychotherapist who has counseled child victims of pedophiles in the states comes to Thailand and stumbles upon a secret online pedophile network based in Patong Beach which he goes about systematically destroying. Torture abounds. Bangkok books called it too graphic for them. Doesn’t graphic violence SELL BOOKS?

Hmm.

Anyway - so, I was researching to see if there were any other books with a remotely similar topic that were ever published by a major book house. OUILA! Is that the French spelling in English?

Fatal Convictions by Shari Geller was published by Harper Collins in 1996! I was so happy to find that on Amazon books that I damn near jumped up and spit.

Finally - I found a book published by a MAJOR publishing house that is similar to my story.

I’ve renewed efforts at getting LOS Tots Network published since it’s receiving good to great reviews from readers and has been downloaded over 7000 times in PDF format.

There’s hope yet… hold tight.

LOS Tots Network: Secret crimes? Secret retribution… (New Book)

admin — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 06:08:29 +0000

Welcome,

I’m Mike. My latest book is a vigilante thriller about pedophilia in Thailand called,

LOS Tots Network:
Secret Crimes? Secret Retribution.

LOS Tots Network is a twisted tale set in Patong Beach which some call a pedophile’s playground. Justin, a psychologist and the main character in the story comes to Thailand for a break from the stress of living in the West. He has great timing as the tsunami hits and he finds himself volunteering to help by combing the beach for dead bodies. He finds a dead German man wedged between some rocks and pulls him out. He opens his backpack and finds a waterproof rubber bag filled with picture after picture of horrific child pornography that makes his stomach heave. He kicks the dead pedophile in the head repeatedly, breaking his neck and facial bones as shocked tsunami volunteer onlookers gasp.

What follows is action filled vigilante justice adventure as Justin tries to crack the network of pedophiles he finds centered in Patong Beach. If you haven’t guessed, Justin has some issues of his own… vigilantism is one way he deals with the problem. Secret crimes, secret retribution is his mantra as he hunts them down one by one until he comes up with a better plan to capture them en masse.

The first thirty pages are now on-site. Click here to read them. If you would like to read the entire book please send your email address (myname@gmail.com) as I’ll be letting a small group review it before I submit it for final editing and publishing.

Crazed psychologist, Dr. Baker, goes vigilante psychopath on pedophiles found through online network in Patong Beach, Thailand.

That sums up the whole story!

Writing Books for Profit (Writer’s Profit Statement)

admin — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 04:46:43 +0000

Someone referred me to an interesting post by John Resig. He’s a programmer that wrote a book and he shared his publisher’s statement on his blog. It shows that he sold a LOT of books and made very little cash. This is the norm in his field apparently as there are many authors writing technical pieces about programming and if you sell more than 4,000 books you’re considered to be doing pretty well.

If you are looking to publish your first book you might find his page interesting… I did!

John’s Programming Book Profits statement from Apress publishing.

Interesting, yes?
