Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah

Books make a thoughtful present and are a great entertainment value. They provide hour upon hour of personal pleasure, and then they can be passed on to another person. What could be better?

"The Shut Mouth Society is a fast-moving, well-written novel." David M. Kinchen, Huntington News

"Best makes this a compelling—indeed frightening—story. Deluge is a highly recommended natural disaster thriller, written with acute attention to reality and little, if any, needless melodramatics." Jack B. Rochester, Fictional Café

The Steve Dancy Tales

Goodreads: Nearly four thousand series ratings for 4.4 stars

The real story of our nation's founding.

"This is by far the BEST book on the origins of the U.S. Constitution . . . and it's a novel. But Best gets all the motivations and details right as any "history" book. Get this!"

Larry Schweikart, author A Patriot's History of the United States and over a dozen other history books

What to give for Father’s Day?

How about travel—to another place and time

Books are great gifts. For a few dollars, they provide hours of entertainment that can be enjoyed anywhere. A good book sheds life’s tensions as it transports the reader to another place and time. Of course, I’m biased. I write books and hope you’ll pick one of mine as a Father’s Day gift. But even if you don’t, all books bring unique pleasure. 

Here’s a tip on how to give a really appreciated gift. Think about the interests of your father or grandfather. If you give a book that matches their hobby or genre preference, then it will show that you have put thought into the gift to make it personal.

What about books in this age of e-Readers? First, a Kindle or other e-Reader is a great gift in itself. If your father already owns an e-Reader, you can gift a specific book. Actually the recipient is not restricted to the selected title because the amount of money can be used to buy anything. I buy so many books for my Kindle that I personally appreciate it when my kids send me an Amazon gift card. Since they live across the country, it saves them money because shipping has gotten expensive. To many it may seem impersonal, but except for writing, reading is my greatest pastime. Besides, I’ll get the personal touch from the phone call.
