Don't Be Ned Ryerson5/6/2024 I have an upcoming 55th High School Reunion.
Someone suggested I attend and set up a table hawking autographed copies of my books. I replied: I don't want to be Ned Ryerson. Remember Ned from movie Groundhog Day? As Bill Murray's character experienced the same day over and over, his high school classmate and now life insurance salesman Ned Ryerson gave him the high pressure sales pitch every day. As it is, enough people are avoiding me already! So this week, no high pressure. Consider this website a virtual book store with a limited number of titles for sale. Feel free to browse, with no one looking over your shoulder. At least I know there won't be any shoplifting. Next week: back to normal. As Ned Ryerson would say: Am I right? Bing! Or am I right? BING!!!

New! Improved!5/4/2024 There are some big changes coming to the JIMFLYNNSIX.COM website. Above is an easy one: a new cover for The 10 Greatest Golfers of All Time. I looked at the old cover and decided it needed an upgrade. I also had the interior text professionally formatted. Similar moves to Hit Your Second Shot First resulted in quintupling sales! D'uh! What was I waiting for?
The addition of a humorous figure lets browsing potential readers know that this book isn't entirely serious. A similar upgrade is in the works for Be Sincere Even When You Don't Mean It. Bigger substantial changes will be discussed in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, if you're looking for a gift for that dorky golfer in your life here's a link to the Amazon page to order The 10 Greatest Golfers of All Time: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5S7Q58F By the way, last week's blog in which I made fun of my friend Bob was by far the most popular blog post I've done. I explained to Bob that it makes people feel better about themselves when I make fun of a handsome rich guy. So, you may see an AI generated image of terrified Bob fleeing from a murderous alligator on golf course in Florida in the weeks to come. I'm encouraging reader input. Any potentially dangerous, life threatening scenarios for Bob you'd like to see? Send suggestions to me at: sincerejimmy942@gmail.com |
