For those of you not living in Japan, let me explain that Tsutaya is the biggest retail distributor of books, games, and videos in this nation.
Today I got some good news! Tsutaya here in town will be stocking the Japanese version of my book. If it goes well, the sky is the limit . . . at least the sky over the Land of the Rising Sun.
Several of my Japanese friends have reported that the book is fun to read and funny. My Japanese is too rudimentary for me to know. I was certainly hoping that my humor would translate across the language and cultural barriers.
The Japanese version is not yet available online anywhere. For those of you who speak and read English, opportunities abound!
We’ve received an approval copy of LIVE FROM JAPAN! in Japanese and it looks great! The translation will be available in fine bookstores across Japan by end of summer.
And please don’t forget!
For a limited time, Live From Japan (in English) is on sale at Amazon in the US, more than 33% off the list price.
Author John Rachel says living in Japan is like living in a fairy tale. This is your chance to personally experience this very exciting, very enriching adventure.
For the next month, all Petrocelli ebooks will be on sale for only $2.99!
Petrocelli has been judged one of the most intense true crime thrillers ever written. It’s not for the timid or squeamish.
It was 2005 and the streets of Brooklyn were crawling with a new crop of absolutely stunning young sex workers from Southeast Asia.
Everybody was up in arms! The local police, area churches, everyday people who didn’t want the neighborhood their kids used for play and school turned into open-air brothels.
Lenny Petrocelli had always been a slacker, a mediocre low-life, getting by on his good looks and street smarts. Suddenly he found himself in over his head. He had slowly been maneuvered by his gangland bosses into a central role in their web of child prostitution and human trafficking. Now he was being set up as the fall guy to take the rap, if the inhumane but lucrative enterprise went down.
If this gritty novel rings true, it’s for good reason. Petrocelli is based on actual stories from a violent and gruesome under-world, where millions of children and adolescents across the globe are held in bondage as slaves.
If those inspire you and you want to learn about the real Japan, I give you high marks for your curiosity and judgment. Here’s where you can pick up a copy.

Oh wow! Not only can you READ the worst book ever written, now you can LISTEN to the worst songs ever written to go along with the worst book ever written.
Standing on the shoulders of the great psychologists who laid the foundation for her revolutionary work, Dr. Joy was aggressively eclectic. She took Women Who Love Too Much to greater heights with her song “Men Who Love Too Much”. I’m Okay You’re Okay was rescued from sentimentality by her anthem “I’m Okay You’re the Pits”. By far Dr. Joy’s most popular song, “The Rut Less Traveled” was inspired by The Road Less Traveled.
Listen to the music and read the lyrics. And don’t say we didn’t warn you. These songs are infectious! You’ll be singing them in your sleep, then seeking shock therapy in the morning!
