Do you need a kick in the gurus?

Do you need a kick in the gurus?

by macleanmottram ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Well, fuck me, another anti-hero arrives to devastate your comfortable life, or compliment your discomfort with his own. Read now and prepare to argue with Maxi’s motivational acid, as he forces you to toy with his accidental discovery that self-hate IS self-help. You need this book like you need to get some cream to take away those unwashed itches.

Are you really an optimist? Prove it. Take on these pages and take on Maxi. Get under his layers as he rips off yours. Get ready for a Kick in the Gurus. Life is never going to be the same again…but then life is not supposed to be the same again. Who the fuck wants more of the same?

Writing as Europe goes insane and the c***s invade Ukraine. Leave them alone. #noonelovesabully

Don’t ask for sane books in a mad world.

In four days, the previews of A Kick in the Gurus will begin on the site. Using the ropes I’m learning right now, the previews will also be in tiny audio mp3s. So, if you’re into pleasuring your ears with books, I hope these spoken snips will bring much light to your shadows.  Sign up or comment to get note of each preview’s release, or else, pop back here for a few seconds on Fathers Day to meet the first preview.

I’ve spelled Fathers with and without an apostrophe in the last couple of posts. I know I’m doing it. Leave me alone.

Here’s to another day of your short life. Make the most & please share this post.

Thank you for being a reader,

Overnight, 13 amazing people signed up to review a copy of A kick in the Gurus on release day. Thanks so much for taking a risk on a new UK novel by a new UK writer.

We often read books to find higher thoughts, but in finishing them, discover only how low our own thoughts have been all along.

If you’re drawn to some books even though you know they may burn or change you, if you’re a moth to a flame reader, perhaps you’d like a free copy of A Kick in the Gurus in exchange for a review on its release date just before the summer holidays.

Why before the summer holidays? Because Maxi, the main character, has to fix a big problem before the schools in the country close. A problem that will change everything for everyone. A problem that itself is changing all the time.

Why not sign up for this blog and read sneak snippets over the coming weeks? Why not be an amazon reviewer for Maxi’s epic, sick tragedy? We launch at 50 reviewers.

Write something in the comments, or sign up now to be a reviewer.

Thank you for your thoughts during reading this.
