Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 8/6 - Thanks

RIP Major General Harold J. Greene, 52, the highest-ranked U.S. officer to be slain in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War. An engineer, he was a 34-year veteran of the Army. His current stateside home is in Falls Church, Va., where he lived with his wife, Army Colonel Sue Myers, and their daughter, Amelia Greene. Their son, West Point grad Matthew Joseph Myers Greene, changed his Facebook profile Tuesday afternoon to a photo of himself with his father. Thank you doesn't say enough.

I've come to my senses and decided not to publish Rising Star with Christine Anderson Publishing. I can publish it to Kindle for free and I can go to 48 Hours Press if I want copies for family and friends, and to sell on the street. One of the main reasons I went against it is that the Kindle through CAP would be at least five bucks. I can offer it myself for a dollar. In the meantime I'll try to find a home for the novel through traditional means. At the Poets & Writers website, I'm up to V in the list of small press publishers. I'll reevaluate when I've gone through the alphabet. I thank Miss Anderson for her kind words about the book.

My thanks to the young woman who bought Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I love to see young people jump on the classics. Thanks also to Steve, the poet laureate of Sheepshead Bay, who purchased Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great, an argument for atheism. The prolific author of non-fiction died in 2011 at 60 from Pneumonia, a complication of esophageal cancer. And finally thanks to the gentleman who purchased a book in Russian that one of my regulars referred to as "dumb," which proves for the zillionth time that "one man's meat is another man's poison." I also had a visit form Ol' Smoky, now homeless and living on the Boardwalk in Coney Island. He was cursing up a storm, having been denied the use of the bathroom in two establishments on Sheepshead Bay Road. Thankfully, he found one.
