RPJ,

I was thinking of the real Olympic games, but I like your ideas.

Ben,

You should have seen the review that Bob Girard from Arcturus books gave it when it was first published! I tried to get permission to publish it in my old zine, but Girard nixed it and changed the review. He said something like “lock this one in the closet with the guns so the kiddies don’t blow their heads off.”

That People’s temple idea should be presented to Adam Parfrey at Feral House. It’s right up his alley.

Dave,

I don’t think anyone’s mocking bigfoot, in fact, I think it’s great publicity.

I don’t remember Leah Haley’s book about a couple of kids and their alien friends making this much of a splash. The fact that it instructed kids to make friends with the nasty grays may have contributed to its unpopularity.

Maybe the problem with that book were the illustrations, who weren’t that appealing to me. She could have used trendy 2D Flash-like art like those guys at Meomi. Un-original, but it sells.

That “Chuppy” character seems really confusing though. So, this girl is dressed in the skin of a goat that she killed and sucked its blood out of? And she is wearing the skull too?

PS: I just have one question about your Roswell Olympics idea Greg…

What kind of event are you thinking of?

(How about “Anal probing with Relays”?, or Disc shooting, but with MISSILES instead of rifles?)

Ha–the Roswell Olympics. Can you imagine those previously mentioned fannypacked greasyslicked UFO athletes at play in the fields of the debris? For this we would bring back the chariot races and Von Daniken can light the cauldron. No one, not even the rain has such crazy games.

You’re obviously joking, but I would have liked to have had age-appropriate books like that for my son when he was younger. And there are ’serious’ type picture books for children about abduction and whatnot.

Hmmmmmm? Come to think of it, that could be a pretty cool book. Greg, you should hook up with a children’s artist and do a book for kids about the Peoples Temple. Wow, could you imagine the press you would get? You would be villified from coast to coast. You could end up on O’Reilly. I’m serious- you would have a best seller. But you would need to play it straight- like you were seriously writing a book to educate kids. You could follow it up with a book about Manson. LOL! It would be awesome. Of course they would have to be age appropriate books- say 4 to 8.

That book Ceto’s New Friends is creeptastic! Check out this review for it:
“Mrs. Haley is by far the weirdest author I have ever read. Only 20 pages in length, the book is about an alien that visits Earth and abducts two kids. For a books that is written for children ages 4-8, I find it very disturbing.”
The person then went on to give it 4 out of 5 stars- LOL! Hey kids, abductions aren’t disturbing- THEY’RE FUN! What’s next- perhaps a children’s book about those groovy folks in the Peoples Temple and their adventures in the jungle?

That’s ok–I once accidentally induced a stroke (supposedly) in an abductee with a mere suggestion. I know personal experience can override the trivial and reasonable, justifyably so.

Richelle;
Your very right, just had to spit out a bit of stuffing. I guess any press is better then none. I guess I take some things too seriously; especially, this subject.
