Dr. Charles Gramlich, professor of psychology at a prominent
New Orleans University, has made the extraordinary claim that reading the three
books of the Talera fantasy series, Swords
of Talera, Wings Over Talera, and Witch of Talera, will actually help you
lose weight and maintain a svelte figure.
Gramlich says that, “those who read the slender volumes of the Talera
series, which are quick and exciting stories, develop a speedier metabolism, allowing
them to burn calories more quickly. This effect lingers for weeks after the
books are finished,” he adds, “and can easily be prolonged further by consuming
another book by the same author.” When
asked whether that author, Charles ‘Allen’ Gramlich, was any relation, Dr.
Gramlich abruptly yelled “Fire” and left the room. Nevertheless, this intrepid reporter believes
Dr. Gramlich’s statements regarding the weight loss effects of the Talera
series. Surely such a handsome and kindly looking fellow would not lie – Graham
Charleston reporting, on the beat for the Deerhaven Examiner.

XDDD al ll the wordsmith are handsome. If not, writing makes him that way! ;)
Fantastic marketing tool! :)
It's absolutely true, I weigh less now than I did when I started reading.
Charles, you have succeeded sufficiently in the BS Factor (a blood antigen) that you are now qualified to run for president.
i believe... hallelujah... i believe! ;)
Alex, glad you enjoyed.
Cloudia, me too
Deka, I know it worked that way for me. :)
Bernard, I hope so!
David J., Yes, you are positively svelte!
Snowbrush, I don't know. There are some true pros in the world today.
Laughingwolf, more to come!
ROTFL
Strange but true :)
Very imaginative, Charles, enjoyed it! I believe certain kinds of books, horror and dark fantasy for instance, can have an effect on the body's metabolism.
I don't really need to lose much weight--anything psychoactive in the ingesting of the tales?
Keith, glad you enjoyed.
Lisa, thanks for your testimonial. :)
Prashant, that could be true.
Mark, stay tuned for further reports from the intrepid Graham Charleston.
methinks this should wake up a few of your almost-readers :D
bwah-hah-hah.
it was a fun read, but it did make me wonder.
i think when a reader is much into a particular book (and a particular style of living), it does have an effect on the reader's life.
if you read a book about someone who's a great dancer for example you may (or may not) catch yourself trying some of the movements.
Very clever! How can anyone resist?
Hehehehee.
Laughingwolf, I hope it works!
Szelsofa, you're probably right on that. I do. Let's hope folks reading the Talera cycle don't try some of the stunts. :)
Elaine, I am almost sure they won't be able to.
Travis Cody, :0
I'll have to read them, but I'm afraid to, I've already lost 30 pounds in anticipation.
Oscar, another testimonial. Wow, I'm good. :)
Charles- you are incredibly silly...
Jodi, so I'm incredible, you are saying. Yes indeed! I agree with that.
Not so far-fetched either.
I believe every word of it. Thanks for the enlightenment. I'm assuming that repeated readings multiply the effect. Or... are multiple purchases of the series required?
Patti, not in the least! :)
Richard R., multiple personal purchases are unneccessary, as I understand it, but the effect is magnified if a set is purchases as a gift for someone else who wants to shed a few pounds.
pretty funny. will you pay my tailor to take up my clothes?
Sage. They will magically take themselves in if you read Killing trail by C. Gramlich. :)
