Turning 57 is Still Better Than the Alternative

     I'd long since reached the age when unimaginative wags think it's funny to buy me black tombstone-shaped birthday candles mass-produced for other unimaginative wags the world over. In fact, sometimes I feel older than my protagonists Scott Carson and Vesey Van Zant, even though were born in 1866 and 1829, respectively.
     I can't do a lot of the things I used to do and took for granted or wasted the opportunity to do when I was decades younger but one thing I can do much better than ever is write. So as I shuffle off into my 57th birthday tomorrow, it would sure make my day if you could buy a copy of either Tatterdemalion or my newest opus, Gods of Our Fathers either on Kindle or Create Space. You can get the first
here and the latter here in paperback.
     Or, if historical thrillers aren't your speed and you'd like something more political and contemporary, American Zen is still on sale for the usual Kindle price of $4.99 and the paperback going for the low cost of $7.99 (not a bad price point for a 150,000 word novel filled with great one liners).
