Chosie and Da Peenie Code

What Chosie Knows, book 3

A “novel” by Richard Gid Powers

What Chosie Knows, Book 3

Well, yes, this is the third installment of the series What Chosie Knows, but it is the first full-length book (as the book’s publisher, we will be the first to admit that we are really stretching the meaning of what can be called a cohesive story). Also, don’t let that “third installment of the series” trip you up because it’s also the first story chronologically. So, in a very real sense, you can call this the prequel of a prequel of a book that referenced this book before this book was released. Or, to make it simpler, this is the book on how Chosie became known as Chosie, President (of the USA), Pope (of the Catholic church), and all-around menace of the literary world (and Nat 1 Publishing’s ongoing headache).

But if you look up the derivation of the words pre- and sequel, you might now suspect that there is something funny going on that’s gotta stop. Sequel comes from sequi which I believe is one of those passive Latin verbs that are active in meaning. So, a sequel follows something. Or, if you want to be a real Latin phony, you could say it means being followed actively, sorta like the mechanical rabbit at the dog races. Or maybe like Obama leading from behind if that makes sense… which it don’t. 

Prequel is completely made-up and is also derived from sequi by way of sequel after dropping the se as though se is the part of sequel that means after—WHICH IT AIN’T—so it should be presequel which would mean something that goes before something or maybe before and/or after nothing or something that goes after some entity as yet undiscovered maybe a big secret so the whole mess don’t mean nothing AT ALL!  Which goes to prove (or disprove, if anything) that it don’t pay to look under stones or up in the dictionary.

Now that we have that straightened out, usually, we would use this space to tell you about the story, but we don’t want to scare away potential fans and their money, and, honestly, at about the third-way point, the editor gave up on both trying to keep track of everything and to write a coherent synopsis. He just sighed and went along with the ride and said that you should, too! (We, of course, are absolutely not putting words in his mouth… no, not at all..)

Oh—one last, very important note: this book isn’t for those of you with no sense of humor or who are easily offended. Seriously, this is NOT for you. At all. Whatsoever. This isn’t even a ploy to get you to buy the book. If you DO buy this book (yay!) and then negatively review it (boo!) because you felt a bit butthurt from its contents… we will find you, and we will make you read the rest of the (to this point) What Chosie Knows saga.
