Physical deluxe copies of Meet Maybeth are now available for checkout throughout the Big Bend! So far, I’m in the public libraries of Jefferson, Franklin, Taylor, Gilchrist, Lafayette, and Dixie (Yay!) Counties. Head to the one near you and check me out! I’m also, as I said before, in Grady County, Georgia up in Cairo as well as the Florida State Library & Archive.

I also wanted to mention another great way to purchase the deluxe version of my book quickly and cheaply. As Ingram recently reminded me, you don’t have to buy it from a bookstore at all; you can skip middle men everywhere and just buy it direct from the distributor! I made a little red button for this right on my home page, or you can click this handy-dandy link embedded right HERE!

I’ve updated the links on my home page to reflect some new vendors who’ve come online. Bookshop.org is the most exciting of these as it’s offering my fancy hardcover at a discount! I made their little link button red to reflect this. =) Pay them a visit today. You won’t be disappointed!

In other news, I got my books; my library campaign is now in full swing.

I’m also in another competition. Wish me luck! And there’s two or three more I’m going to enter.

[10/26/24 EDIT: I have adjusted this post to reflect that Bookshop.org is now “a” preferred vendor instead of “the” preferred vendor. The reason is that I’ve added a link today where you can buy my book direct from Ingram (the distributor). Both are really great ways to get my deluxe book at a discount, which is why I’ve made their buttons distinctively red there on my home page.]

A Southern Fried Fantasy Adventure Story is now available here in Leon County where it was written! The Leon County Public Library System just this week stocked my book in three of its many branches. This great news just happens to correspond with my previously scheduled Kindle Countdown Sale. Library patrons here in my home town can now check me out from really any library location. And if you live downtown (main), in Buck Lake (east), or Killearn (north), you won’t even have to wait for the little shuttle to bring it over!

You may have noticed I put a time along with the date above… That’s because it’s important in this particular instance. The sale on my Kindle format has a half-life that decays one dollar for every twenty-four hours that pass! Yikes! Yes, if you want to scoop up my eBook at the cheapest price possible, act RIGHT NOW before tomorrow 11:00AM Eastern. The sale won’t be over then, but the price will go up, and again the next day until the regular price is restored.

Hurry, hurry, and tell your friends! And thanks again to the librarians throughout Tallahassee for your continued support of this local indie author!

Avon-Washington Township Public Library in Indiana has added my book that was donated in honor of Avon High School’s 2023 graduating class (and one student in particular )! Yay! That brings A Southern Fried Fantasy Adventure Story to twenty-eight libraries now, enough to once again celebrate with a promotion.

Beginning around Thursday of next week, watch my Amazon page for a brief, but multi-day, dramatic discount to appear on the deluxe Kindle format of my latest book. Obviously, those who have Unlimited can still read me all the time, but if you don’t, or just want a permanent digital copy, this is the way to get it on the cheap!

Not much else to report, still pluggin’ along. I did find another K-Drama you might find amusing: “Bring it On, Ghost!” 싸우자 귀신아 Here’s a link to its Wiki Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_It_On%2C_Ghost The cast in this is really awesome, and it’s a clever premise. Check it out if you get the chance and, like me, don’t watch western TV.

Till next time, pray for peace amid all these senseless wars.

To celebrate the release of my new novel, I’ll be offering a Kindle Countdown Deal!

It starts today at noon of “Near Miss Day”, when, according to timeanddate.com, “in 1989… a 300-meter wide asteroid called 4581 Asclepius” narrowly missed striking “Earth by a distance of [only] 450,000 miles (684,000 kms).” The “experts” apparently insisted at the time that we were only “6 hours” away from a “collision [that] would have released energy equal to about 1,000 atom bombs!”

To think we’re even perhaps closer to a similar horror today thanks to fools…

In any event, here are the particulars:

Beginning today (3/23/23) at noon, my Kindle eBook will be on sale!

Over the course of the 72 hours that ensue, you’ll be able to own a digital copy of A Southern Fried Fantasy Adventure Story—four years of work from an award-winning independent author, professionally edited and produced—for a discount even greater than its already extraordinary low price!

I assure you, there will never be a better deal.

If, like me, you enjoy playing video games, then think of my sale here as one of those Steam “dailies.” That’s really what it is—an amazing flash sale with a half-life—and any budget gamer worth his salt knowns what it means to “wait for the dailies!” It means you hold your bloody fire no matter how much you’ve been tempted. And, I’m telling you, this is that time—and it will be long before there’ll be another!

Obviously, folks enrolled in Kindle Unlimited will be able to still read me for free while their subscription remains active.

In other news…

My friends up in Cairo (GA) have adopted my new novel! You’ll recall that they invited me up for my very first speaking engagement back in 2020. Thank you, as always, to the wonderful staff of the Roddenbery Memorial Library!

My book is also now available from Thomas County Public Library, and I am grateful for their continuing support as well.

P.S. If you’ve been following the news and have found yourself shocked at the politicization of the corona virus outbreak, take comfort in the fact that this is nothing new. I cannot claim prescience for the bit part that other real pandemic played in my historical novel but, as any student of history knows, when it comes to humanity past is always prologue.

Modernity… Ha!

Or rather:
