Peter Derk:
What is up with the title change from Ninja Sons to Stephen King: is the new title for this book, formerly Ninja Sons. Did the producers of Three Ninjas come after you? Is Uncle Steve less likely to? Or is this a unique SEO approach?
Peter Derk
Ah, it's a great question.
Short Answer: Because I'm stupid.
Longer Answer: Back when the website LitReactor was a thing, I wrote columns over there, as did a guy named Max Booth III. Max wrote a column called 25 Book Marketing Ideas for the Desperate and Shameless, which was basically a list of 25 terrible ideas that one could try in order to sell books, provided you were A) Desperate and B) Shameless.
Desperate and Shameless are my middle names (it's hyphenated, my parents were cruel while also being prescient), so I wrote a column where I actually DID these 25 things (I think there's a really badly formatted version of it available somewhere...here: https://litreactor.com/columns/25-mar...).
I should probably change it back one of these days, especially seeing as LitReactor no longer exists, the joke has completely died, and Max Booth III is successful, which makes me feel lousy in comparison.
