Why the Golden Flake Clown's Tale won't be a best$eller

    Yesterday morning, I introduced THE GOLDEN FLAKE CLOWN'S TALE at goldenflakeclownstale.blogspot.com. Yesterday afternoon, it became available at a free internet library, archive.org, where it can be read on most any modern device.

    It's written from the perspective of my father's presumed oldest son, me, the other Bashinsky who learned Golden Flake from the ground up, about my father, his family, my mother, her family, my father's second wife and her family, my father's company, Golden Flake, and its history and demise, and two awful lawyer-feast lawsuits that helped kill my father's second wife and made his blood heirs wish their father had never remarried. I also tell a good bit about my childhood and college and and law school years, and later years, and even later years, which became more and more stranger than fiction. I tell it from the perspective of the family black sheep and keeper of the family skeletons. 

    The general public has no clue how my family came to own Golden Flake, or what it was like working at Golden Flake, or what it was like having a stepmother, who became known as The Golden Flake Queen, whose grandson received about 8 times more from my father than his three blood children each received. The public has no clue what happened in the 2nd lawyer-feast lawsuit, because it was sealed due to two of the defendants being minor children of my younger brother, Major, and his second wife. I review and examine both lawsuits. I also review Major taking his own life and provide information the news media never reported.

    A fellow who grew up across the street from my family and was a very good friend of Major, private messaged me this morning that the Clown's Tale is heavy, he's almost done reading it, and it could be a best-seller. I thought he had not read the chapter in which I tell why the book will not be a bestseller.

    No literary agent or publishing house will accept a manuscript containing material previously published on a blog. 

    Nor will a literary agent or publishing house accept a manuscript from an elderly person, who claims he has experiences with and hears from Biblical beings - angels; and if a publishing house receives such manuscripts, they contact the elder protection agency of the author's state and ask them to investigate and examine the author for his own protection.

    The reason I considered trying to use a literary agent or publishing house was that might make the book more available and more people would read it, and if it sold well, what I made in royalties could fund causes I think do God's work and help people in need. 

    Thanks to what I inherited from my father after the second awful lawyer-feast lawsuit ended, I don't need a best seller's royalties. When I needed such royalties was when I was homeless 2000-2005 and 2016-2107.

    Last night, my tech buddy, who created The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast, and I did a podcast about THE GOLDEN FLAKE CLOWN'S TALE. During our discussion, I said, in the Torrent system, we are getting 80,000 plus complete watches per episode, world wide, which makes us a mega church - but wait! We don't pass a collection plate, we don't ask for donations, so we are not a church.
