Geoff Rodkey Waxes (Hilariously) Poetic about His Latest Book
Those of you lucky enough to be on Geoff Rodkey‘s email list have already seen this. Those of you who haven’t are in for a treat. Read on…

Dear Friend/Relative/Texas School Librarian:
Great news! Blue Sea Burning, the thrilling conclusion to the Chronicles of Egg trilogy, is in stores now! You can order it by clicking any one of these links:
It is a phenomenal book. And I’m not just saying that because I wrote it.
Okay, I AM just saying that because I wrote it. But it’s still pretty great! Especially compared to other third installments of popular mass entertainment:
It’s MUCH more satisfying than the third Hunger Games book, because nobody you care about in Blue Sea Burning winds up with a decades-long case of PTSD when all you really wanted was a happy ending.
Unlike the last Divergent book, I promise that upon finishing Blue Sea Burning, you will not feel compelled to take to the Internet and complain that the backstory made no sense and/or somebody died who you didn’t want to see die (which, BTW, also happened in The Hunger Games).
In contrast to Godfather 3, I did not inappropriately insert one of my biological children into the narrative.
There is not a single Ewok, or anything like an Ewok, anywhere in Blue Sea Burning.
And it is infinitely better than Daddy Day Care 3.
(Since Daddy Day Care 3 does not exist, I’m confident this is a mathematically correct assertion.)
Finally, is Blue Sea Burning as good as Toy Story 3?
Yes!
Actually, no. But, honestly, NOTHING is as good as Toy Story 3. You should go rewatch it now.
But when you’re done, please pick up Blue Sea Burning. Thanks!
Best wishes,
geoff
PS — While this is the end of the Egg series, it is NOT the end of the emails I plan to send begging you to buy my books. So if you don’t want to get an email when The Tapper Twins Go To War (With Each Other) — the first in a new series that’ll be shorter, funnier, more heavily illustrated, and much less pirate-y than the Egg books — arrives in April 2015, please reply to this with UNSUBSCRIBE, CUT IT OUT, YOU LOST ME AT HELLO, I WISH TO NEITHER BUY NOR READ YOUR BOOKS, and/or THIS EMAIL VIOLATES FEDERAL ANTI-SPAM STATUTES in the subject line. I will not be offended. Unless you’re my mom. (Just kidding, mom! It’s totally fine if you want to unsubscribe.)
