The winner of elBenbo's official eat-a-fan contest
Published: Thu, 08/01/19
The context of that was, I wrote a bonus novel of linked short stories for my Enoch Wars series, that will be part of the “Omega” edition I am putting together — which consists of all 7 novels in the series combined into one big book, along with the above linked short stories novel that have lots of the notes & ideas I wanted to include but couldn’t fit into the novels originally, various appendixes (appendices?) & timelines, character profiles, and some other things I’m cooking up for it.
Which brings me to the contest:
Whoever asked what I deemed to be the best question to be answered on my upcoming new not-a-podcast-but-something-else (it’s not going to be a “podcast” and will be something far less techy or complicated) by the fiendishly tight deadline I set would get:
1. A free signed copy of my “Infotainment Jackpot” book which retails for $391.00.
2. A free signed copy of my “Email Players List Swell” book which retails for $541.00.
3. A free signed copy of the new hard cover edition of “Zombie Cop” (the first novel of the “Enoch Wars” series)
4. And last, but not least:
This unsung hero who asked the #1 best question for the upcoming show would not only be featured by name (and with a speaking role!) in one of the above short stories… but got to be killed & eaten by one of the monsters in it, too.
Which brings me to who won this noble & esteemed prize.
Diane Hochman… come on down!
If I hear from Diane with her shipping info in the next 48 hours, she gets the above prizes.
If not, it will go to someone else.
In the meantime, here was her question:
===
Ben...
For as long as i have known you I jave never seen you give a flipping fork about what anyone else is doing.
How did you avoid falling into the reactionary mindset that most marketers go into trying to keep up with the Johnsons and "do what works"?
===
It’s a great question, and very timely, too, for reasons I won’t go into here.
Thus, she won.
And, when I finally do my new not-a-podcast thing, I will answer it. And when the new Omega edition of my novels comes out, she will have had the honor… the *privilege* of being gruesomely eaten by one of the monsters in it.
I daresay this makes me even more kind than Xerxes in the movie “300.”
All right, on to the business:
Next week I am launching my newest book:
“Villainous Weapons Of Persuasion”
It’s the 3rd and final book in my “Villains of Influence” trilogy of books.
