Jason R. Richter:
Do you currently have any plans to release the unedited version of your book? and if so, is there an ETA on that? And has the FDA tested it to make sure it doesn't have any negative side effects?
Jason R. Richter
I'd like to answer your last question first, then your middle question last, and your first question second.
The research staff at Mad Hatter Industries have determined that future copies of the book will not cause sudden onset ovulation in women or the formation of third nipples in men over age eighteen. This was a regrettable side-effect that necessitated the recall that you've probably seen on the news. Hopefully, something, somewhere will happen that will get the 24 hour news networks off my back. We've fixed the problem. Move on, Fox News.
Readers are still urged to not read the book while operating heavy machinery.
I am still getting reports that, on average, two readers out of five have a problem putting the book down. This is an endothermic reaction caused when the sweat of certain people -- usually those with a diet high in PBR and curry powder -- mixes with the ink on the front and back cover. Future editions will have a more hypoallergenic ink. Mad Hatter Industries recommends switching to a different beer, say 90 Shilling or 1554, or to Canadian whiskey while reading the book and mixing your own curry powder and stop buying pre-packaged spice blends from the grocery store.
As for the first question, I am indeed planning on releasing an unexpurgated version. The original manuscript melted e-reader batteries upon opening and summoned a demon. Usually a very minor demon. Left sock eaters. Spring loaded tong drawer jammers. One instance of the Bel-Shamharoth. It was a very small village, I'm told. The research staff assures me that they've pinpointed the possessed phrases and are working to arrange them in a more benign fashion.
As for when? Next year I'm hoping to release the much anticipated follow up to Mating Rituals.
2016? No, I have to get a haircut.
2017? I don't have anything on the books for 2017. I could pencil that in for 2017. If an earlier date opens up, I will let you know.
