Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures Is FREE August 22-26, 2014



Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures


Wouldn’t You Rather Have Your Humor Be Heaven-Bent Than Bent The Other Way

Whether Dean backpacks with Bigfoot in Bermuda, time-travels with movie stars, or inadvertently destroys worlds beyond ours, this guy knows how to have fun! Enjoy his crazy, quite possibly insane, adventures! 

What will Dean do with the billions he makes by his books? Find out inside! And encourage billions of others to do so too. Especially if they buy them all and pay full price! 

Inventive, funny, suspenseful, each story provides a mini-vacation away from the burdens of your day. So get your ticket to fun now; and start reading. Destination: Comedy! Full of new funny jokes and guaranteed to make you laugh.* 

Before you buy this book, take a Look Inside! 

Check out the Table of Contents! The actual “adventures” don’t start until “The Perfect Plan: Foiled!” (or “Spice Boy”, or “My O.B.E.”, depending on how you define adventure). We included a few “non-adventurous” pieces to lay the groundwork for the adventures, or because they related somehow, or we just thought they were funny. Or simply to pad the book to make it look more impressive! 

Although most of these crazy, intrepid, and entertaining tales stand alone, they still tie together to build to a shock ending. 

Snippets


Proof that this is a work of fiction: I did not put peanut butter on the brownies. If you see me eating a brownie without first applying peanut butter, that is not me, but an evil clone, an alien cyborg, or a shape-shifter who must be destroyed! Or given a jar of peanut butter. 

Don’t forget to wrap your head in aluminum foil too, so those intergalactic fiends can’t read your mind. Otherwise, no one else in the field of extra-terrestrial relations will take you seriously. 
The pinwheel hat is optional. 

My secret sources on this matter are uncharacteristically convoluted and unclear about the exact details. But why would somebody post something on the Internet, if it’s not true? 

The “handsomest” of them resembled Bigfoot. Only with ZZ Top beards and a Snidely Whiplash mustache. Strange race indeed. 
And that was just their women! 

I don’t want to be remembered for that! Instead, remember me for my sense of humor, thoughtfulness, and great legs. Best of all would be being remembered for being Rachel Bilson’s trophy husband! 

They had the dumbest entertainment too! Some dude in a designer pinstriped suit waved a pocket watch back and forth while chanting repeatedly: “You will do as I say. You will do as I say.” 

Never thought I’d wind up in jail. 
An asylum? Sure. It’s a such crazy world, you’d be nuts not to go insane. 

Don’t fall in love with a psycho; she’ll only break your heart. Or cut it out and feed it to the pigeons. 

I’m too exciting for most women. The majority of them want someone boring. It’s true. Their date ads say they don’t want men who play games. 
But I say, what’s wrong with Pictionary? 
It’s like charades on paper! 

Good times to be sure. But if Andy Warhol’s words are true, about each person getting his/her own 15 minutes of fame, I’ve still got another 14 minutes and 57 seconds coming!

Because nothing honors a person’s memory 
more than having a potato chip 
with that person’s likeness enshrined for all to see.

The government should charge 
a hefty Non-Superhero Tax to billionaires 
who aren’t superheroes, 
to fund folks who want to be superheroes,

My neighbor baked me cookies. 
Isn’t that sweet? 
She wanted to thank me 
for helping her bury her grandfather 
in a new vegetable garden in her backyard. 
She couldn’t afford a coffin or a burial plot, 
so I helped her out, because I know how tough times are. 
The weird thing is, 
her grandfather resembled her husband 
who’s been missing ever since.

Since Bigfoot and I had so much fun 
backpacking in Bermuda, 
we decided to go camping. 
Sadly, many campground owners are raving species-ists. 
They don’t allow “animals” to stay at their campgrounds. 
More sadly, um, sadliericious, 
they think of Bigfoot as an animal and not a hairy uncle.

Why Some Kindle Authors Make Their Books Available for FREE



Why Some Kindle Authors 
Make Their Books 
Available for FREE
by

For instance, purely as an example and/or a shameless plug, Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures Is FREE August 22-26, 2014:

Wouldnt-Rather-ebook/dp/B00CDGV9Q8


So why in the world do some Kindle authors make their books available for FREE? Have they been overly medicated during troubling times? Were they conked on the head with a jumbo-sized candy cane and now they think they're Santa Claus? Or, Stan Lee-style, were they bitten by a radioactive generous person? 

The most common reason Kindle authors make their books available for FREE is to accrue as many "sales" as possible. Although we don't get paid for the "sale" of FREE books, we get recognition for them in the Amazon system. So much so that a book with 10,000 copies given away may rank higher than a book that has actually sold 9,000 paid copies. (Other factors affect ranking, but I think a FREE "sale" does count as much as a paid sale.) 

So that's  why, technically, it doesn't even "matter" if you even read the FREE book. At least in a business sense. But being writers, of course we want you to read our work. So much so that a FREE book can be considered a sample of our style, so that you'll be more likely to come back and buy our other books. 

So yes, we want our books to rank higher; and we want to be read. But also, the ideal scenario is to garner a slew of 5-Star Reviews. That's a major goal for all writers. Not only to bolster our fragile egos, but to increase our ranking even higher and to help us make "real" sales. I.e., to get paid. Because 5-Star Reviews give an author "street cred". 

Another goal, not used by all writers, is to get sales via embedded affiliate links within the book. Which works better when using relevant products with nonfiction books. 

Some writers offer a Freebie inside their books too, but the only way you can get that Freebie is to visit their page and submit your email address. I've never done that yet, but it's a viable way to build a list of people interested in what one has to offer. And when you have a new book coming out, you can email them to let them know.

I suppose that another reason, for some writers, might be to generate good "Karma" by offering one's work for FREE. By doing so, such authors expect The Universe to pay them back in other ways. Like a bunch of paid sales. And/or a mega-hot trophy spouse.

Those are the main goals that I can think of as to why Kindle authors make their books available for FREE. But another reason why I'm making this particular book available for FREE is to help promote my blog Heaven-Bent HUMOR

Please Note
I admit the following comedy sketch is way too long!
But we were making a show 
where we needed to fill up lots of time, 
so that's what I did.  
It's still funny, possibly even hilarious, 
so the long setup does lead 
to a fun and funny ending for the last two minutes. 
Plus there are lots of jokes before then too.
Please Enjoy!

More Excerpts from
Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures:

There are two things you need to know about me, 
two very important things: 
One, I always mean well. 
Two, most of what I say is meant to be funny. 
And three, sometimes I say more than I should.  
_______

My friends worry about me 
when we watch superhero movies. 
‘Cause afterwards, I’ll say, “That was fun. 
But that’s not how it really happened.” 
_______

Aquaman in the desert 
won’t do anyone any good. 
Especially himself. 
In fact, he’ll just get on everyone else’s nerves. 
More so than he already does with his 
stinking up the Hall of Justice with his fish odors. 
Eau de Phish is not a big-selling cologne. 
And Water Boy’s always leaving 
inexplicable puddles all over the place.  
_______

Sure, she’s a little high strung. 
But we always made each other laugh.
I mean, when she wasn’t trying to kill me.
_______


The people bowed before Elvis, but yanked me away. 
Elvis marched after me, quickly, but with quiet dignity. 
Seems like he really is a king. And I’m really lunch! 
The natives led me to a boiling pot, ripped off my clothes, and held me down to decapitate me with a machete. 
“Um, Elvis? If you’re not too busy, could you, um, take a moment out of your hectic day; and please, please, please, HELP!!!!!!!
_______

My life flashed before my eyes as my head and upper torso fell into the shark’s mouth. I remembered the fun I had time-traveling. I regretted not being able to make Jennifer Lawrence the happiest woman in the world.
Or her and a friend.
If her friend was named Carly Rae.
Other than that, I already planned the perfect last day of my life, so I was ready to check out. I just didn’t want to. Not through the intestinal tract of an overgrown guppy with fangs.   

Please Note:
You need to turn the volume 
all the way up lot for this one!
This one was written by Richard Eldridge, 
but I added a funny line or two as well. ;o)

Going For The GOLD

Special Early Bird Edition
(Next Monday’s Blog Posted This Friday)
In Honor of the Olympics 
and Valentine’s Day

Going For The GOLD

You know me, 
I always like to have fun, 
and make a quick buck, 
so I volunteered to be the first guinea pig 
for an experimental, new teleportation device. 

The research scientists wanted to use 

an actual guinea pig, 
but thanks to the protests 
of several animal rights activists groups, 
they were forced instead to use human beings. 

So I got placed in mortal danger, 

because some brilliant copywriter 
came up with the catchy slogan: 
“The Guinea Pig You Save 
May Be Your Own!” 

Since I was clearly putting my existence at risk, 

those highly intelligent scientists let me 
pick my intended destination. 
I figured I’d let them “beam me to Sochi, Russia, 
so I could enjoy the 22nd Olympic Winter Games

Fortunately, 

their crazy contraption worked. 
I de-materialized 
from their mysterious, 
top secret research facility 
known only as Area 52
and milliseconds later, 
I reappeared in Sochi, Russia, 
on the slopes in front of 
a mega-gorgeous Swiss alpine skier! 

Unfortunately, 

I didn’t have skis or snow shoes, 
so I slid down the side of the steep mountain. 
And not down the fun side with the colorful course, 
the other, far more dangerous, dark side. 
At the speed I slid, 
and with my inability to maneuver effectively, 
I was as good as dead. 
Especially since the cold already turned my skin blue. 

Fortunately, 

the mega-gorgeous Swiss alpine skier saw my plight 
and sped after me 
performing a highly tenacious rescue. 
Proving that she’s not only mega-gorgeous 
with amazing skiing skills, 
but she also has a heart of gold. 
What an awesome combination! 

Unfortunately, 

her act of heroism zapped 
some of her energy for her next event. 
Costing her at least a tenth of a second
of much needed time. 
So she didn’t win the gold, 
but she won my undying gratitude. 
But then again, 
she already had that, 
just by being mega-gorgeous. 

Fortunately, 

she took me to her translator, 
so I could thank her 
and tell her what I wanted to say to her 
from the moment I first saw her: 
I may a wee bit lactose intolerant, 
but I’ll gladly eat holes in cheese 
if thats what it takes to make you happy.” 

Unfortunately, 

her interpreter had a secret crush on her, 
so every time guys who can’t speak Swiss 
try to make their moves on her, 
he misinterprets. 
I don’t know what he said I said, 
but she slapped me so hard, 
I fell back down that slippery slope. 

Fortunately, 

this time I managed to grab the railing, 
so I wouldn’t fall over the edge to certain doom. 

Unfortunately, 

the railing I grabbed broke. 

Fortunately, 

the translator felt a twinge of remorse 
and reached out to save my life. 
(Sure, 
he wanted the mega-gorgeous Swiss skier 
all to himself, 
but he didn’t want to kill anybody. 
He’s a lover; 
not a man-slaughterer.) 

Unfortunately, 

after he saved my life, 
he pulled a weapon on me. 

Fortunately, 

it was just a Swiss Army knife. 
So I chuckled and asked, 
“What are you going to do? 
Clip my toenails to death?” 

Unfortunately, 

he did just that! 
More or less. 
He clipped my toenails. 
Way too close! 
So my every step on the white snow 
left a gut-wrenching, 
toe-trailing mess. 
Ow! & Yuck!

Fortunately, 

the mega-gorgeous Swiss alpine skier 
has a bizarre fetish for closely-trimmed toenails. 
So she clutched my lapel, 
puckered her lips, 
and pulled me close. 
Yay!

Unfortunately, 

those stupid clods 
who invented the teleportation device 
beamed me back to Area 52! 
Before Golden Girl could kiss me! 
Boo! 
Where in the world will I find 
such a wonderful woman 
with that much dedication, 
and a heart of gold, 
and who’s teeming with mega-gorgeosocity? 

Seeing my bloodied toes, 

those silly scientists assumed their device malfunctioned. 
Having lied about paying me big bucks 
to be the first sap to get zapped by their contraption, 
they conked me on the head 
with an over-sized petri dish, 

I awoke on the carpet in front of the TV, 

which naturally was tuned to the Olympics. 
To see me there, 
youd think I just dozed off, 
fell from the couch, 
and conked my head.
After having clipped my toenails insanely close. 
But that would be crazy! 

So boo the Area 52 scientists

but yay Team USA! 
Win all the gold medals you can! 
And please tell that mega-gorgeous Swiss skier, 
that if she wants a gold medal, 
she can have my heart-shaped one. 

Go Team USA! 


And everyone, 

please enjoy a safe and 
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Author’s Note: 

I wrote the foregoing whimsical tale, 
because I felt I needed 
to have a new DEAN Adventure
Plus, 
I wanted to write something topical 
in honor of all the dedicated, 
hard-working Olympians 
from around the world; 
and to post something for Valentine’s Day. 
And I wanted to honor my favorite book 
when I was a young child: 
Fortunately” by Remy Charlip.

When that fire hit your @$$, 
it will sober your @$$ up quick! 
I saw something, I went, 
"Well, that's a pretty blue. 
You know what? That looks like fire!" 
Fire is inspirational. 
They should use it in the Olympics, 
because I ran the 100 in 4.3.

We wanted an Olympic Gold medalist 
to be our keynote speaker. 
But due to our low budget, 
we booked a figure-skater instead. 
‘Cause all we can afford is a cheapskate.

Nothing tells your children 
how much you thought about them 
while skiing the Alps, 
dancing in Rio, 
surfing in Hawaii, 
or being anywhere but home, 
like a shirt with a picture of cheese.

You know how some people 
have their name engraved in their skis. 
Well the other day I was riding up a lift 
and I read the guy's name off his skis 
and started talking to him like I knew him. 
He thought I was NUTS! 
His name was Rental.
