Pseudonymous Bosch

Bon matin, mes amis! How's life going for you?

...Hmm, now I'm really drawing a blank. What do I want to talk about this morning?

How about Pseudonymous Bosch? I think I may have mentioned him before, but not anything about him. He's an author. He's using a pseudonym, in case you didn't notice. He wrote a series of books with secret titles, secret information, and most importantly, THE Secret.

You do know what the Secret is, don't you? Of course you don't know the Secret, but I'm sure you've heard of it. *glances around furtively, then whispers* The Secret to immortality!

That's right! Mr. Bosch tells the story of some kids, two of them in particular, who get involved in a secret society that more or less battles against an evil secret society for possession of the Secret. And the Secret is revealed - oh, yes, of course it is! And unlike most authors, Mr. Bosch doesn't bail at the last second and leave his readers hanging, wondering about the Secret. I now know the Secret of immortality! Y'see, he's pretty bad at keeping secrets.

Like his pseudonym. He can't even keep that a secret! You'll see by the fourth book or so; I actually find it quite genius how it played out.

Pseudonymous Bosch is a once-in-a-lifetime author, if even that common. He talks to the reader, seems to have confidence issues because the reader he's talking to hates him, is obsessed with chocolate, talks to his cat, talks to himself, and is terrified of being discovered. You try telling me that an author like that can't turn out an epic story. He can. And has. Multiple times.

And recently, on a trip to Books A Million, I discovered he has another book that is written only so that the reader can write their own story. Can you say amazing?

So what are you waiting for? Don't you want to learn the Secret from an author such as this? Hop to it!
