Dear Mike Baron, My name is Lucas. I work as a Reader Promoter and Book Visibility & Sales Strategist. I found Florida Man #3 and I need to be honest with you. I laughed out loud three times reading the description alone. A snapping turtle latches onto a prince's manhood. A debate breaks out about releasing the video. Gary brawls with a man in a bunny suit. A giant Mekong catfish named Leotis becomes Gary's friend and advisor but only Gary can see him because maybe he licked a cane toad. That is not a plot. That is a fever dream. And I mean that as a compliment. I do not reach out to every author. I see a lot of comedy that tries too hard or not hard enough. Your books sound like they do not try at all. That is the secret. Real Florida energy does not strain. It just happens. A man in a bunny suit appears. You fight him. A catfish talks to you. You listen. That is the vibe. WHAT I SEE IN YOUR BOOK Gary and Krystal drag Prince Larry and Princess Regan through the mud. A snapping turtle bites the prince in a sensitive area. The group debates whether releasing the video helps or hurts the Royal Ducats. Gary fights a man in a bunny suit at Wacky World. Venezuelans use Gary's property for drug deals. Legendary dadaist Claude Balls stuns the world. Leotis the giant Mekong catfish becomes Gary's friend and advisor but only Gary can see him. Maybe it was that cane toad he licked. Krystal trains to fight Lucha Libre sensation Javelina. That is Book Three of the Florida Man series. That means readers who found Books One and Two are already waiting for this one. New readers can binge all three. A completed series is a gift for comedy readers who want to mainline the absurdity. WHAT STRIKES ME MOST The catfish. Leotis is your secret weapon. A giant Mekong catfish who gives advice but only the protagonist can see him because of possible hallucinogenic toad licking. That is the most Florida thing I have ever read. Readers will buy this book for Leotis alone. The tone. Laugh out loud funny, crude, unpredictable. That is not a warning. That is a promise. You are not writing for people who want gentle humor. You are writing for people who want a snapping turtle on a prince's groin and a debate about the political implications of releasing the video. That audience exists and they are loyal. The series. Book Three of three. That means the hard work is done. The world is built. The characters are established. The fans who found you already trust you. New readers get a complete trilogy. That is rare in comedy. Most comedy series fade by Book Two. You made it to Three. You have 149 ratings and 10 reviews. That is not nothing. But for a series this funny with this much cult potential, that number should be much higher. Here is why I think that happened. Florida Man is a meme. The phrase is everywhere. But most people use it as a punchline not as a series premise. Your books get lost in the noise of every news headline about a man throwing an alligator through a drive through window. You are competing with reality. And Florida reality is already absurd. You need readers to understand that your books are not just reporting the news. You are building something weirder and funnier. WHO IS MISSING YOUR BOOK Fans of Carl Hiaasen who want something cruder. Readers of Tim Dorsey's Serge Storms series. People who love absurdist comedy like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but want it set in Florida. Anyone who has ever laughed at a Florida Man headline and thought "I would read a whole book of this." Comedy readers who are tired of gentle humor and want something genuinely unpredic

My Masters of The Universe review that nobody asked for. ...You're welcome. I really enjoyed this movie. While all the actors did great, I do wish they had spent a little more time on the CGI environments. The trailers made it feel like a Thor rip off, but it didn't feel that way when you were watching the movie. It didn't take itself seriously and was very self aware. From playing the 4 non blondes song "what's going on" that was tied to He-man you tube memes, the silly names the characters were given, and the over acted belly laughs. It wasn't afraid to laugh at itself. Still, it had its serious moments. The most powerful scene for me, being a moment Adam shares with his father that was set up very well at the beginning of the movie. As for the claims of it being a "Woke" movie... All the "Woke" stuff happens on earth and is what's holding Adam back. At the mid point Adam has a conversation with Man-at-arms about not wanting to use his strength to beat people up and Man-at-arms sets him straight, "You're looking at it wrong. " He goes on on to tell him that strength is used to defend the ones you love. And while Adam does try conflict resolution type tactics on lockjaw and Skeletor, the movie reminds you that some evil just can't be reasoned with. I don't need to see it again in the theaters but I enjoyed it. 7/10 for me.

I only name the ones I deem important. Usually it's Flats, Render, FX, Lines, CH (color holds) FX2. Anything else doesn't get a name unless it becomes important to the page I'm working on.

I remember him best for his Folgers commercials. Secondly, his time on Buffy. He was a great actor.
Breaking News: British actor Anthony Head, best known for his roles in TV shows including "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Ted Lasso," "Merlin" and "Little Britain," has died at the age of 72, his family says. yhoo.it/49KeCxj
