Dentist accuses me of being "a little warped"
after reading All the Humans Are Sleeping

Blazing Reader,

Dr. Gary Magder of Goldtent TA Paradise sent me two emails. The first was when he was about halfway through reading an advance copy of All the Humans Are Sleeping that I sent him:

"Hey John,

"Picture me sitting by the river reading this on a perfect Fall day with Polly and Mojo [his donkey and pony] grazing beside me and after every chapter I put the book down and say: 'Holy F*ck! John... What are you doing?'

"This one is another level yet again. Sheer brilliance, John."

"I love the short sharp chapters.

"The amount of research needed is mind-numbing."

A week later, Gary followed up with another email:

"Hey John,

"You are an evil genius... Wow!

"I was just going to send you a comment on that one-two punch in the last chapter...

[SPOILERS REMOVED]

"I was getting pissed off.

"BUT... Surprise!

[SPOILERS REMOVED]

"Perfect ending... Except I didn't want an ending. (I'll have to wait another year or more for the next installment).

"This novel is brilliant ... every detail ... incredible ... so many hidden gems.

"But you have to admit ....you need to be a little 'warped' to think up all these scenarios."

Yeah, Dr. Magder is right. There were times when I felt I was a little warped writing All the Humans Are Sleeping. Though, I'm not sure about the "evil genius" part.

You can judge for yourself, by heading over to AllTheHumansAreSleeping.com to read the first 24 chapters of the ebook, listen to the first 2.75 hours of the audiobook or just purchase the warped novel.
