Reworking some things...

I've decided to redo the paperback cover of Porno Manifesto, my second published book. This will be the third edition; the previous cover is 8 years old and Facebook and Tumbler have gotten all pissy about it. When I try to post it on there, now, they freak out and block it. I think their algorithm takes the knife in the model's hand for his dick, but they won't explain it or give me a way to appeal. So...I think I'm going to use this as the avatar and front cover, now.

Lord, I published this back in 2008, with Nacza Plains Press, who put a cover on it I truly hated. When I got my rights back in 2014, I arranged with a photographer to shoot the model with the knife then got a background image from Shutterstock. Now I'm going for a cleaner, simpler look in my books, and this works a lot better. At least, the feedback is good.

This is the book I adapted into a screenplay, and there were things I changed in it to better reflect today's world that I would like to put in the novel...but I promised myself I would not be rewriting my narrative work once it's published, no matter what. Except if I find a typo. So I haven't. It is what I wrote at the time.

Still...if anyone wants to back me in making the movie, it could be shot here in Buffalo for under a million bucks, I'm sure. No car chases or special effects. Not a big cast. We could even shoot it in Toronto, if you want...make it work even better. Or Montreal. Get some porno boys in? Any takers? Hmm?

As for CK...I'm getting the first indications the characters think they went a bit crazy on me and are settling down. I'm still leery of them, but we'll see how it goes. It just means APoS will not be completed this year.

I can live with that...if this thing with Ukraine doesn't start WW3...
