When Number 13 is a good thing

Being 13th never felt better.

POOKOO is up in the charts over some stellar all-time greats.

Usually being 13th is undesirable, but a check of Amazon.com's Religious Satire" chart reveals that POOKOO is now #13, ahead of such literary luminaries as Voltaire, Alexander Pope and various essays on John Milton. My guess is that those who read those authors don't have a Kindle - they use paper books, not ebooks.

Still, it's a goal worth pursuing (to be read) and the whole reason I write. (Remember that first sentence of POOKOO?).

One of my all-time favorites is Voltaire's Candide (#43).

Now the whole discussion of "religious satire' is another thing. The two words are categories for POOKOO. The unnamed sequel, which I've made notes for, could fit into the category - as well as some others. We'll see if I decide to spend a year back in that world. By that I mean since I spent years writing POOKOO, inside Katlin Hillmacher's world, inside Peter Warner's head.

I'd like your comments about a POOKOO sequel, since I know what I'd put together and how it would be. But what do you, as a reader, think?
