Frequent flyers killing time in airport bookshops before a long flight & remembering a halfway decent book by James Patterson 10 years ago?

Absent parents realizing that they should maybe connect with the kids they've ignored before so they won't end up in the worst nursing home and they think this will work?

If I had 1 trillion subscribers I would "write" a "book", too.

If it gets kids reading, then it can't be all bad, can it? 🤷‍♂️

What are the odds that... * There is any printed material on any of the book's pages? * The printed material is words, not a kids' menu activity page? * The word are in English? * The words make any lick of sense? * Contain characterization or plot, as is typically expected? * The book is good?

I can think of some guys named James or Jamie who are more likely to write ANYTHING on their own. One even has Nominative Determinism! James Curry and Jamie Spafford from @sortedfood.bsky.social James of @nitrorad.bsky.social James from Team Rocket Jamie Phelps James Gunn

The target market is "content creators who need new content to mock and/or parody." Actually, now that I say that out loud, that might make it a bestseller.
