To Hell with It!: The Art of Winning While Losing

Description

In today's competitive publishing market, the successful non-fiction book needs both a unique approach and a strong hook to lure the reader in (following is a sample of this books premise and style). Father of Lies (the devil): (Interrupting) "Hey Noland, how about me being your co-narrator, willing and able to say outrageous things you could never get away with saying yourself. Kind of like a ventriloquist and his dummy. Pretty unique approach, don't you think?" Hate to admit it, Father of lies, but that is a damned good idea. After all, "Screwtape Letters" had a pretty good run at it, eh? Let's do it, but with one caveat. I'm the ventriloquist and you're the dummy. Now, all we need is a hook. Father of Lies: "Heh-heh, we'll see about that. The dummy is in the eye of the beholder. The premise of your book is the art of winning while losing, isn't it? Here's an idea for a hook. Run for dog catcher or city council. Doesn't matter, you're going to lose anyway. Then document it chapter and verse, with tips on what it feels like to be a stone-cold loser." Aren't you full of bright ideas? Dogcatcher? City council? To hell with it! Let's shoot for the moon-President of the USA 2020. Think of the intrigue this will bring to the story. During the journey, we'll document 'how and why' it will be impossible for me to lose. In so doing, the reader will also discover how to win while losing within his/her competitive field of choice. To hell with losing! And our campaign slogan will accentuate the books subtheme, one that is especially relevant today: MUST! "Make US (United States) Truthful (Trustworthy)."Father of Lies: "Heh-heh! This is going to be fun, insanely absurd and embarrassing. Dear reader, you are in for one hell of a read (please note the absence of the adjective 'good' before the word 'read'). But be forewarned. It's all fake news. Just like the failing N.Y. Times."
