Fearless Puppy on American Road has an
entertainment value that should prove enjoyable to all readers, but its tone
can be a little rugged at times. Many of our fellow Earthlings have been
conditioned to receive the majority of their information from unreliable
sources—most notably, TV dramas and the so-called
"News." Fearless Puppy,
through its unique style, attempts to place some degree of Buddhist, Native
American, ecological, etc., information within a framework that most
Americans will be able to relate to. The book is a little rough
and tumble. If anyone should find the language, occasional harshness of
honesty, humor, or drama offensive—I apologize. It is hoped that every
reader will be able to gain from this little story, and recognize this
literary method's potential.
Main Purpose
The Main Purpose of Fearless Puppy and
The Dog Soldier Trilogy of Books is to establish permanent funding
sources to be used for sponsoring the physical care and education of what is
hoped will be an increasing number of wisdom professionals. This is outlined
well enough in the book's introduction, but here is a more specific example
of how the project will work.
The first substantial profits from book sales
will be used to build hotel/motel type guesthouses near Temples in Asia. The
money raised from travelers patronizing these guest houses will perpetually
support Monk and Nun students. The guesthouses will be built
Westerner-friendly (guaranteed good water, A/C, and such). It is hoped this
will facilitate Westerners to come and receive teachings from their Lamas
(etc.), on that Teacher's home turf—without
having to wait until the Teacher makes an American or European tour. The
stay would be comfortable for Western students while providing funding to
support the care and education of existing (and especially within the
framework of this project's goals) future wisdom professionals. The
guesthouses will be open to local and international travelers year 'round in
order to most efficiently achieve this objective (raise as much $ as
possible). These motel/hotel type facilities should also succeed in
employing local builders and workers, and in improving the tourist trade and
local economies of the areas they are in.
Your Assistance is Vital
Your assistance is vital to the success of this
project. Fearless Puppy on American Road is not being sent to agents
or publishers. Avoiding the usual industry percentage takes will maximize
the profit from each book sold. This is grass roots at its best. Our advertising budget is $0. We believe that the common
concern of our friends will accomplish the universally beneficial goal. If
you enjoy reading the book and are in accord with Fearless Puppy’s purpose,
please consider the following possibilities, as well as any creative options
you might come up with yourself.
1. Do you know of any positively motivated organizations who
would want to receive copies of the book at a discount, in order to raise
funds for their own group while assisting our effort?
2. Do you know of any empathetic retail outlets
that might see fit to carry the book? They needn't be bookstores! I have
them in health food stores, bagel shops, and many other friendly places.
3. Would you send an announcement of the
book/project to the people on your Email/myspace/etc. list? (Should you care
to do this, but don't really want to write the announcement, I have one
ready that I can forward to you.)
4. If you have any friends who might enjoy the book,
Fearless Puppy accomplishes many purposes as a singular gift!
