I didn’t know writers were so techy and sophisticated but apparently its a big deal to “beta test” your writing. Who knew? I thought you wrote a book, got it published, people read it and then you find out whether it sucks or not.

So I’m ahead of the curve I guess, because with my new book Fixed: Dope sacks, dye packs and the long welcome back coming out in the next month or so, it benefits from some beta tests I did last year. Basically, I read snippets from the book in public. And people laughed. So that’s a good test I’m told. Go, me! Anyway, here’s an example. Hope you enjoy it!
