I finally just went ahead and changed the spelling of Book Two's title AGAIN, this time to Jerry Copperpot and the Voyage of the John Heeder. Because I'm just that nitpicky, and my wife also confirms that John looks better than Jawn. It's less nonsensical, and helps to avoid distracting from the Narnia parody in the title. Here's to hoping that my fellow Narnia fans will like it better too.
And if Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder ever saw my book, I would hope he'd feel honored to have a fictional ship named after him in a non-infringing sort of way; a ship whose captain is a (spoiler alert!) giant trilobite that speaks only in phraseology derived from popular online quotes from the film. Now, I'm just waiting for Amazon to approve the new edition. In the meantime, the previous versions have been discontinued. All existing copies of the previous two editions, including the 4 unsold ones sitting on a shelf in my bedroom, are now collector's items that are still worth reading but not worth collecting.
All previous blog posts referencing Book Two will be retroactively edited to reflect the new name and the links updated, as soon as I have the new links.
Now I have to change the title spelling on my advertising fliers, and turn the old ads into paper airplanes for my kids to throw around the house.
I also plan to fix the book purchase link, cover art, title etc on the available audiobook chapters on my Soundclick and Soundcloud pages. And maybe even get off my butt and do some more work on Book 3.
Because this is what you do when you're bored on Memorial Day.
