Role Models Are Sometimes Painful.

For those of you who don’t want to participate in political discussions, or are such special snowflakes that you might melt in the face of strong opinion, this may be the week for you to head over to the Huffington Post and Salon. This will not be a venue you wish to frequent. I’ll be sorry to see you go, hope you’ll be back on the tenth of November, but probably won’t lose a lot of sleep over it if you label me and delete the bookmark from your browser. (On Netscape, which I suspect you’re still using if you’re taking that path, the control you’re looking for is on the upper right.)

So, fair warning: it’s pretty political from here on in until the election is over. I’ll put the rest below the fold.

One Week To The Election: I’m Ending My Silence On The Topic.

Come Out To The Book Fair Saturday.

Fall Book Harvest 2016

Fall Book Harvest 2016

Please follow me on Twitter, and “Like” the Facebook author page. Don’t forget to subscribe (the box is on the right side of the page) to be eligible for free e-books and other benefits! Oh yeah – grab a copy of Assault on Saint Agnes if you’re of a mind.

I’ll be busy Saturday. Twin Cities fans, please come and see me, and a whole bunch of other authors at The Fall Harvest Book Harvest on October 29th. Yes, books and the people who write them.

It’s a great chance to get books for all those bibliophiles you have on your list. Best of all, it’s all Christian literature – no cursing, largely safe for even the most mild-mannered person you tiptoe around on a regular basis.

I will have discounts available if you buy a couple of copies, or if you’ve purchased books from a few of the other authors at the event. Cross-promotion, dontcha know.

Please come out and meet the authors. Bring cash and credit cards. (I don’t take checks.) and I’ll even pose for bad selfies with you if’n that’s your thing.

********* ********** *********** ***********

 

Assault on Saint Agnes is now available. Just click this link to find all the options! (I recommend the autographed copy. It’s cheaper than from the big stores, I scribble in it, and you get it mailed within 5 days. We all win.

When you finish reading any book (especially mine) please review it at www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, and www.goodreads.com. Your review increases the chances of someone looking for a new book greatly. Authors appreciate your review, even if it is just “I thought this was a good read and will give it to my dog to chew. I especially liked the ending, because it made me feel better when he killed all of the main characters. (no spoilers, please)” Those few words (more than 20, fewer than 1,000 is ideal), and a 1-5 rating, make or break how the search engines find us. Thanks in advance.
