Last month, I posted a contest whereby anyone who purchased a hardback copy of UNDISCLOSED would be entered into my next character contest and - if we sold 5,000 books - receive a free MEG: GENERATIONS poster. Unfortunately, we didn't come close. That was very disappointing - UNDISCLOSED is being touted by those Alten fans who read it as one of my best - if not MY BEST novel to date. It's not about ETs and it's not SCI-FI. It's a thriller about very real secret blacks ops programs that actually exist called USAPs - Unacknowledged Special Access Projects.
Watch this short 2 minute video below and you'll understand:

Joke of the Month:
|
Donald Trump was playing golf in Saudi Arabia when he took a wrong turn on the ninth fairway and got lost in the desert.. a vast desert with sand. Lots of sand.... you can't believe how much sand was in this desert. Anyway, the president had spent many days crossing this sandy desert and was desperate to find water. He was crawling across the sand on his last breath when he came upon a bottle with something inside. Desperate, he popped open the bottle and was startled when Hillary Clinton appeared as a genie.
"Well Donald, you know how it works. You got three wishes."
"Why should I trust you?" President Trump asked. "I'm the greatest president who ever lived and you're Crooked Hillary."
"What have you got to lose? You're a goner anyway."
Trump thought about this and said, "Okay, I wish I was in a lush oasis, with plenty of food and water."
POOF!
The President found himself in the Mar-a-Lago of an oasis, surrounded by jugs of wine and platters of food.
"Ok, Donald, what's your second wish?"
"I wish all the NFL players who took a knee were fired!"
POOF!
A newspaper appeared, the front headlines saying "NFL FOLDS DUE TO LACK OF PLAYERS."
The President quickly tweeted: NFL DOOMED TO FAIL - TOLD YOU!
"Okay, Donald, you've got one more wish left, better make it a good one."
"That's easy. I wish that no matter where I went, beautiful women would always need and want me!"
POOF!
Hillary turned Donald Trump into a tampon.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Whether you're doing business with a Trump OR a Clinton, there's always going to be a string attached.
(For those of you on either side of the political spectrum insulted by this joke GROW UP and make a contribution to the people suffering in Puerto Rico who aren't laughing right now because they lack food and water and medicines.. and tampons, too!)
