Ayo…I wanna give a shout out to a supporter right quick…A sista whom I met awhile back when ya boy was out and about in NYC gettin his lounge on
Gi Gi copped my joint Thick When the Chances are Slim last week and supported a brother by not only purchasing a copy, but also posting the pic of the novel on Facebook
Her posting of the book infamously known as THICK has led to members of her friend’s list to either purchase a copy on the spot, or make a note to do so later on
WORD OF MOUTH is VERY crucial for independent authors such as myself…that’s the greatest promotion without coming out of pocket…real talk
It’s hard to turn book buyers into advocates especially when they don’t have any incentive
I don’t wanna get too sappy or sentimental…just wanted to show some appreciation to a supporter who looked out when she didn’t have to
Always remember….there’s a BIG difference between a buyer and a supporter
Buyers are reactive…Supporters are PROACTIVE
Marinate on that, grasshoppers
Aight, ya’ll…I’m Audi 5000
CLICK HERE to order your copy…I’m not gonna tell you why you should buy the book, or what separates my art from the rest…Just know I don’t half ass when I write
And that's the honest truth...RUTH!
Peace

Between writing Part 2 of the Thick series (shame on you if you didn’t cop “Thick When the Chances are Slim”), I’m droppin’ a weekly blog for ya’ll to sharpen my swords.
Without futher ado…I’m gonna chop off heads to kick off the insanity…I’m kinda pissed off right about now.
I’m going in on New York "authors" (emphasis on the quotations) who sell their books for $3 and $5 on the streets. They’re messing up the game for heads like me who don’t push their books for crackhead prices.
This is why the book game is so screwed up in the Rotten Apple. I know my worth, so I’ll be damn to short change myself just for some book sales.
Some people will say, “Established authors sell their books for less than $10, too.”
Newsflash…I’M NOT THEM…I know my worth…so if authors wanna sell their paperbacks for less than ten bucks and eBooks for 99 cents, that’s on them.
Selling my books for 3 dollars is a misrepresentation of my talent as a writer…my mama would slap me if I do some dumb shit like that…LOL
My thing is this…if you REALLY want my book, you’ll cop it for $15 (which is the average price for a paperback book for the most part).
How would you feel if you sold high powered marijuana only to see dudes selling bush weed and messing up the hustling game in your hood?
Not only that, but people accepting low-grade weed and bypassing yours just because “it’s too expensive.”
You’ll be pissed…I know I would.
That’s why I took my show on the road…a popular book vendor in DC REFUSES to sell books less than $15 because she doesn’t want to set the tone for selling cheap books in her city…she saw what happened in NYC, and she’ll be damn to let it happen in DC.
Aight ya’ll…I’m out like 2011
Happy New Year in Colored People Time fashion
Peace and Afro Grease
