Remember how hard it was to figure out that sometimes a "c" sounded like an "s" and sometimes it sounded like a "k"? Boy learning how to read was a real pain in the ass, right?
Well, now it's all worth it. You Will Behave is available for pre-order, which means those hours and hours of applying phonics to a language with a non-phonetic alphabet has finally paid off.
Why not reserve your copy today. Just think of all those books they made you read in junior high . . . Go ahead, you've suffered long enough. You've earned this one.

in malayalam (an Indian language) there is a joke about the same thing.
"poocha" in Malayalam means "cat"
Two people were discussing the vagaries of the English language.
First guy: Malayalam is so much better then english.
Second guy: Why?
First guy: In English, they write c-a-t, read it as "kaet" and the meaning is poocha.
Second guy: I agree. In Malayalam we write poocha, read it as poocha and the meaning is poocha!!!
Good plug. I wanted to check out your book but your links aren't going anywhere. Let me know when I can check it out. :)
Thanks Thomas, nothing like a good poocha joke.
Thanks Sapphire. And sorry for the busted links. They're now fixed.
Oh, how exciting this must be for you! What do I have to do to get an autographed copy?
Thanks Sharon. The first 50 copies will be autographed. I'll be sure to set one aside for you though.
