Thought our continuing Freeper literary talent should be punctuated.

Thanks for the review, Jeff. My kind of kick back and relax some with a good book. Something I'm way behind on, but got them all on my list.

It's a good read. Jim does a great job of keeping you engrossed, and he puts some really neat twists into the plot that are wholly unexpected...keeps you guessing.

Hehehhe...I can't speak for Jim. But he might be inclined to send you a free copy after you got ten other people to buy it individually though, LOL!

Thankee, sir! Will you be at the Inaugural Ball, by any chance? Lots of good deals on Expedia, etc. I'd love to shake your hand in person!

Thanks, Jeff. I really appreciate not just what you said but how you said it. “Art & Part” was written before the actual trial but it tracks it fairly well and as I’ve said a lot in interviews and signings, etc., the book ends somewhat differently from reality – but I like my ending much better. And, in a bit of shameless self-promotion, I do feel compelled to note that the third John Cann adventure, “A Grave Breach”, will be out early 2005.

Now, bitt et als, something I’ve been thinking about and this seems like a good time to try it. There are still stocks of the first two novels available and I’d really like to increase their exposure and availability to FR members. About a year ago we sent a couple of cases of books to the CPA in Baghdad for distribution among the troops. At the same time, we also set up a web page specific to them to buy at a discount and I want to do the same for Freepers. Now, there’s no question it’s a plus for in termms of promotion and exposure and I’m not prtending otherwise but there is also a genuine desire to reach out – and in a way say thanks and show respect and admiration to this particular group of which I am proud to be a part. So, for Freepers only, as they say, we've set up a page where existing stocks of “Bargained for Exchange” and “Art & Part” are available at $10.00 each. www.JamesMacomber.com/FRSpec.html. If that link doesn’t work, go to the main page www.JamesMacomber.com and click on the word “new” in the sentence above the photograph of me (real hush-hush stuff, eh?).

And rest assured that these are new, hardcover books. Also, the ordering page is set up where those interested can specify a dedication to whomever and have them signed. Just go to “additional instructions” and leave a note. So if you want one (or more) for yourself, or Christmas presents (especially to your liberal friends – heh, heh, heh) or maybe give a copy or two to the local library, etc….

Thanks, Jeff. And thanks to all.

My pleasure. It's the least I can do. On both counts.

Thank you very much. I loved "Bargained for Exchange" and am looking forward to reading "Art & Part".
