Two Down, Twenty or So To Go

The first two volumes of the Average Joe's Common Sense Guide series have been released. In the couple of weeks since they were released, more than 100 copies of each have been sold and feedback has been amazing.

The first volume, and effective intro to the series, is "An Average Joe's Common Sense Guide to... Common Sense". As the title suggest, common sense is the basis of the entire series, so the focus had to be placed on this uncommon occurrence to get things going. As Paul Harvey said, "Common sense is uncommon". We all know at least one person who seems to have a complete lack of common sense. If you don't, well...

Volume two is based on the topic that drove this entire idea to begin with. I have been frustrated for years by the nonsense being spouted forth when it comes to the environment. The desire to get people to wake up and realize the REAL (and much more "convenient") truth that man made global warming is a sham, was what drove me to come up with the Average Joe book, which then transitioned into a series of short books. The idea is that, any Average Joe can do a little bit of research and realize, for themselves, that what the media is spoon feeding you is not necessarily reality. Hence in all of my books I make a plea to people to do their own research and form their own opinions. Don't just drink the cool-aid. So, the second volume in the series is "An Average Joe's Common Sense Guide to... Environmentalism". don't expect another rant against big oil, big SUV's or the like. I'm a former oilfield worker, and I drive a large V8 powered SUV.



I'm currently in the process of creating the next 3 volumes. #5 is going to be REALLY fun. The next three will be An Average Joe's Common Sense Guide to:

Vol. 3 - Parenting

Vol. 4 - Relationships

And finally, Vol. 5 - An Average Joe's Common Sense Pictorial Guide to... Everyday Life. This could very well be the most complete set of images, all focused around the concept or common sense, or sometimes the lack there of, you will ever find. And, of course, what would these images be without a little cometary from The Average Joe himself, yours truly.

Things have been amazing so far, and promise to only get better. I look forward to helping spread the word about the uncommon gift of common sense.
