Last night was Purim, sort of a combined religious commemoration, costume party and drinking game. Every religion has its fun holiday, and this is ours. Suck it, Persians. Once again services were conducted via zoom. Two weeks to flatten the curve, sure.
We celebrated by dropping the following, completely unprovoked, into a group text about a man spotted with a Nazi mask, 'We must stand against the Internale Jew wherever he slithers'. Wonder if it was this guy. Watch it burn.
Anyway, while we sat there watching our girls ring noise makers every time the Rabbi, who's a dead ringer for Bibi, said 'Hammon', we pondered an idea for the summer. Reader(s) will recall that this summer we're hoping to 'sneak in' and write something. As it happens a lot of reviews have been coming in for the Israel Strikes series. [Oh, no-Ed.] Oh yes. Every once in a while someone shows up here bitching about the cliff hangar. The series was always meant to be a trilogy. [Not true. It was meant to be a one-off but Israel Strikes sold so well you thought, why not?-Ed]
Why not, indeed.
Israel Strikes: War of the Red Sea ended with Israel and Turkey nearly going to war. So why not Israel Strikes: War with the Turks, or some such?
There's no business reason not to do it. The Israel Strikes books are our 8th and 9th top sellers. A new book in the series would boost the first two. If readers like books about the US blowing up Soviets, they'll like books about the Israelis blowing up Iranians. Go figure. Israel Strikes has 200 + reviews on Amazon and nearly 200 on Goodreads.
We shall plan and God shall laugh.
Oh! And during the service we saw someone told Joe we had to bomb Syria. And on Puirm too. That's some serious convergence. And just wait till you people see the article we hope is coming out today.
