GRIND, SPUTTER, POP…WHEEZE
WHAT the heck is happening to book readership? More importantly, what the heck is happening to publishing? Is it the Great Fight of the Big Guys (in this case Barnes and Noble, Ingram and Amazon)? COVID-delta? Nationalism? Global Economic Restructuring? Or perhaps printers are finally running out of virgin trees to make paper and not recycling? Is it Universal Greed and resulting Uncontrolled Inflation? Is it that no one wants to work anymore? Is it global mass migration? Is it that propaganda is the new (mis)informational norm? Is the criminal element taking over? Do people just not respect each other anymore and are insanely impulsive (can’t agree? Quick, grab a gun…)?
Or is it a combination, a Perfect Storm, of several or even all of the above? How would I know. But I wrote about it with William Maltese in the naughty LBGTQ action political drama, TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1434403556, and it’s actually quite scary feeling like a prophet more than a thriller and science fiction author: President-Elect Mathias “Alexander the Great” Jackson learns on election eve that the current President has resigned with over a trillion dollars in petroleum securities, leaving the US leaderless and facing an economic crisis of unparalleled proportions. President Jackson, wrongly accused of manufacturing the crisis, turns to his two must trusted political aides, Adelphous Tripler and Shawn Clarke. Committed lovers, Tripler and Clarke must reluctantly separate to carry out a series of incredibly challenging tasks for their discredited leader that takes them around the globe. With murder and mayhem facing them every step of the way, will they manage to get back to each other alive?
And that’s just the beginning. The sequel, Amazon genre bestseller and multi-award-winning THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor – https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693859, continues in the best tradition of future mongering: Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live.
