This Man is Very Bad3/11/2024 If you want an interesting book, make the villain bad.
If you want a very interesting book, make the villain BADDER. The man above is Chan Pennington, the Chief of Staff to the President, and the villain of Useful Idiot. He's very bad, but sometimes displays dark humor. To tell you this does not give anything away, because in the first chapter JR Johnson has this to say: When I had returned from an improbable mission two men from the government, including Chan Pennington, debriefed and then threatened me. “You got the money you were promised. I’m sure you’ll be fine,” Pennington had said, ‘as long as you keep your mouth shut.” When he told me I’d be fine, it was not reassurance, it was part of his intimidation. He thought he was so slick, but I’d been around the block and realized that Pennington was a man always playing mind games, never to be taken at face value. They plain don't like each other, and Pennington has some very bad plans. Work continues. BTW, the picture above is AI generated text-to-image. It took me about 15 tries to get the Pennington I wanted. I look at his image when I'm writing dialogue with him.
