Warner had received only two reviews on Amazon before Swearenjin posted the video and rose to the top of the retail site’s best seller’s list.
“Here’s a fellow neighbor that’s just struggling and I just wanted to help him out,” Swearenjin told WFAA after posting the video to his TikTok account “internetfamouslol.” The overnight success led Warner to create a TikTok account of his own where he has thanked people who have reached out and purchased the book and has even given updates about his future.
In a follow-up video, Warner announced a hardcover version was in the works and he was in talks with his publisher to create an audiobook, that would be narrated by Theresa Bakken,Warner, a father of two, vowed he will continue with his signings at local bookstores and Krogers in the Dallas area.
