Strange things
It has been a few months since anyone purchased or borrowed a copy of The Boys Who Could Fly. My other book, Wolfgang's Revenge, has continued to sell a few copies per month.
Wolfgang's revenge tends to get lower ratings, especially from female readers. I think the reason for this is that the assumed protagonist, Dr. Bart (the radio psychologist and narcissistic exploiter of women), is actually the antagonist. He is supposed to lose in the end, as a result of his own selfish nature.
The intended protagonist, Wolfgang (a Labrador Retriever and failed seeing eye dog), wins by going home to live with the family that raised him for the seeing eye program.
Wolfgang's revenge is really a story about the way that people give unselfishly of themselves, and frequently get no credit for it. At times, they are criticized for failing to give enough when they've already given all they have to give. And, sometimes, those who are the most fortunate are admired for their station when they really do nothing of value for anyone else.
This book is about some of the corners we paint ourselves into in life. If you discover that you hate Dr. Bart, you're supposed to. If you identify with the characters in the book who give of themselves unselfishly, and end up getting the short end of the stick, then this book is about you. Thank you for all you do, whether anyone else appreciates it or not.
