About September Day
No living American can, or should, forget 9/11. But the process of trying to place this book with a major publisher has alerted me to the fact that many indeed want to do just that. Repeatedly, my agent got rejections with the words, "It's well written, but we don't want to touch that topic." They could have added, " . . . especially from a patriotic point of view", as this book offers.
Fortunately, a friend and published author in his own right, Jeff Head, assisted me in bringing this into print. Jeff's Dragon's Fury Series, a techno-thriller about World War with China and Iran that arises out of current events, is a testimony to what self-publishing of a good book can accomplish. Jeff has served as production supervisor and as "editor" in most matters of getting this into print
Although it never was accepted by a major publishing house, I don't think it was for a want of trying on the part of my agent, Scott Hoffman, and I thank him for his many labors on my behalf.
Finally, my intent was never to write a "religious" fiction, but I do hope that the Christian faith of several of the characters emerges as a reflection of the One hero above all others, Jesus Christ.
Larry Schweikart Centerville, Ohio, January 2006
SEPTEMBER DAY By Larry Schweikart, author of the best selling, "A Patriot's History of the United States" About Larry Schweikart
Larry Schweikart, a former rock drummer whose band reached the big-time concert level as the opening act for Steppenwolf, quit that career path in 1976, when he returned to Arizona State University to obtain a teaching certificate. In the process he took a history class that changed his life. From that moment on, he wanted to be a history professor .
In 1977, Larry entered the Arizona State history program to obtain a master's degree. In the process wrote a national prize-winning article on Peary's quest for the North Pole. A year later, Larry was ready for a Ph.D. program, and attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he completed all exams in one year, graduating with distinction two years later after completing his dissertation, "Banking in the American South" During his M.A. and Ph.D. work, he authored two books: A History of Banking in Arizona (1982) and Trident (1984), a book Schweikart co-authored with Doug Dalgleish, which was a history/policy study of the Trident submarine program. His dissertation became his fourth book. Larry has now been a professor of history at the University of Dayton for more than 20 years, producing a total of more than 20 academic books and 50 articles.
Most recently, his book, co-authored with Michael Allen, A Patriot's History of the United States (Sentinel, 2004, has sold more than 42,000 copies and is in its fourth printing in less than a year. His newest non-fiction, "America's Victories: Why Americans Win Wars, and Will Win the War on Terror", will appear from Sentinel in May 2006.

I hope so also. I intend to get one this week. Will be emailing the thread link to conservatives..both FReeper & non FReeper.. Hope many here do the same so we give them LOTS of exposure.
Larry's difficulty in release reminds me of Mel Gibson's problem finding a company to release The Passion.. Liberals just don't want a part of it.

Have a tissue handy when you read this one. But you'll also cheer at the end.
