Yes, nothing conspiratorial
ever comes out of Canada...

Blazing Reader,

Today, I've sent the all-but-final draft of my forthcoming novel, All the Humans are Sleeping, off to the printers. The proofs will be distributed to proofreaders for final read-throughs before the September 11 publication date.

As I wrote to my editor, Pete "Typolino" Toccalino, yesterday:

" With this book I'll be pursuing plenty of MAINSTREAM media publicity: CTV, TVO, FOX News, (I'll even do CBC), Oprah (but I'll settle for Dr. Phil), etc. Along with radio, magazines and newspapers. With All the Humans are Sleeping being released on 9/11 — along with the themes of AI, World War III and the metaverse — I think it'll have wide and timely appeal. I'm hoping my press-release writing skills will get some real publicity this time around, since — unlike Much Ado About Corona — the subject matter isn't highly censored."

To which Pete responded:

"Yes, I think there's a real chance here for a wider audience/readership, especially with how strange everything is getting in relation to national and geo politics, ongoing and impending wars, AI, the UN agenda etc., and the general acknowledgement, even in the mainstream, of how strange it's getting ... and it is authentic, bonafide Canadian content, after all."

Yes, nothing conspiratorial ever comes out of Canada... This is just a warm, fuzzy story about a farmer, a robot and the end of the world.

Stay sane & read great books,
John C.A. Manley

P.S. It's hard to believe, but it's been over a year since I decided to "quickly" finish up this short novella (which is now a full-length novel). Check out this post from last October, when I first announced All the Humans are Sleeping: https://blazingpinecone.com/blog/2023-10-12/
