Well, Mr. King, here goes. Can I interest you in reading my debut novel? It’s called Blood Slaves and it’s about a slave who discovers vampires are from Africa, not Europe, becomes one, and ends slavery 150 years before the Civil War. I’m pretty sure my publisher would be willing to comp you a copy.

All the yes.

I mean…
