"The Big Book of Useless Examinations"...

... is finally completed. I've been working on this - book - since August of last year, and although a LOT of things got in my way I'm glad I finished it. It's 75 exams, quizzes and assessments that will test your patience and occasionally your wits.

But more often your sanity.

It's not my first work: I submitted a screenplay for the first 'Project Greenlight' named "Drunk & Disorderly at The Pearly Gates" which did not get picked. But this is easily the wierdest of the 2.

For now.

I'm already mapping out a few new ideas I may work on at the same time (because they're different genres and venues, there's no mental conflict). Until then, though, I have this piece of work.

I will be publishing it through AuthorHouse, a self-publishing firm. This means I pay them money to do the professional formatting and basically make it look like what I envisioned it to be: a parody of test preperation textbooks. They'll design the cover and all that, plus get the bar codes and copyrights for me without me having to fill out all the annoying paperwork. And I keep all the rights, which is always important. They will make it available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other booksites.

BUT: I won't be able to do that until I can pay the publisher. And that is where you come in.

I'm personally making 250 copies of the book. It will be amerturish, cheap-looking and quite honestly not of the same physical quality of the shiny production model AuthorHouse will crank out. But it will be complete and original work in a fairly well-constructed format. Plus, I'm signing and numbering it, which unless I'm paid to do so at signings won't happen otherwise.

So I'm reaching out to you, my fellow borderline nuts. Buy a book that will make you laugh at least half of the time and gross you out most likely part of the time. Having shown it to a wide range of people I'm confident in saying there's quizzes in here that both a fratboy and a housewife can get a chuckle out of. Just remember you need to be at least 18 years of age to buy, due to adult language and sexuality and a few other potentially offensive things.

To buy a copy, you can email me at johnknox@hotmail and I will send you payment info, as well as ask you how you want me to sign it. The cost is $20.00 U.S. currency, plus $5.00 shipping and handling.

Thanks to those who've already bought one, and thank you to those who will. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope to bring you even stranger stuff in the future.
