The dangerous and unpopular Moms for Liberty & similar organizations are still out there, trying to tell communities what their children should be allowed to read. Don't fall for it. My novel, The Librarian's Son, tackles this issue and more. Buy here: shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

Senile Satan is straight-up lying again. After away food and healthcare from millions - this is his go-to defense. Obama has never made any profits or royalties from the ACA, ever.

We already know what makes our communities safer, and it's not troops on our streets.

It's giving people accessible housing, food, employment, health care, and education opportunities.

While M4L lost ALL their contested races, the dangers of book banning & censorship are very much w/us. My new novel, The Librarian's Son, tells the story of an extremist group that targets a librarian when her young son starts to echo the life of a firefighter killed on 9/11. Use code below to buy!

Some folks would like to read my latest novel, The Librarian's Son--a story of past lives and present-day censorship--but are reluctant to support Amazon.

I get it!

So now you can use the QR code below to purchase directly from the printer/distributor, with no Bezos involvement at all. ๐Ÿ˜ Cheers!

Thank you! I'm concerned that you might have hit a bad link at Amazon, though. The book is available now, though there's a link out there that says it's not, and no one can tell me why it's still saying that. ๐Ÿคจ Please DM me for details!

Had to do this for my elderly mother, which entailed ordering a new copy of her 1950s marriage license from Brooklyn via snail mail. This despite her having a driver's license from another state and Social Security cards in BOTH her married and maiden names. The hoops we have to jump through! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

I once toured Atlantaโ€™s 175-year-old Oakland Cemetery with a friend. Were struck by how many families lost multiple children within days of each other. We realized it was due to the lack of vaccines.

And this kooky, lying moron wants to take us back to those days. RFK Jr. should resign.

COMING SEPTEMBER 1: The Librarian's Son

When a librarian's preschool son starts recalling the life of firefighter killed on 9/11, it ignites a storm of bigotry and threats that divides their small, conservative town.

Look for it on Amazon, B&N, and by request at your favorite indie bookstore.
