LS, congratulations and I wish you great success in getting your message to a very broad-based audience.

[Ryan Spock]

Thanks. Can't wait to get my copy!

[Humidston]

Fan-FReepin'-tastic news!!

[Travis McGee]

Hi Archy. Domestic Enemies is coming along. I posted some early chapters over here at Frugal's fiction. If you read this one, just look for day two and so on, up to day five.

I recommend this book more than any in recent history...except for A PATRIOTS HISTORY...which I publicly promise to buy...(sigh)...

[RaceBannon]

I got interviewed for a book and upcoming video, does that count?...(sigh...)

FWIW, it looks like Overstock is a couple bucks cheaper on shipping (it's $1.40), and the book's a tad less too (it's $19.11) They say it's in stock. I've so far had good luck with them.

Courtesy of BuyBlue.org:

Barnes & Noble 100% Blue
Powell's Books 100% Blue
Amazon.com, 41% Blue

My guess would be that, like Amazon,com, Buy.com would be fairly red - the owner is a Republican [at least ostensibly], and it's headquartered in Florida.

Also, note that the Barnes & Noble empire includes Bookstop, Bookstar, B. Dalton, Doubleday, and Scribner's.

Mayber Tanniker can start a FR Book Club, and your book will be one of the first to be discussed...although at 944 pages, it may take a few days...

A book club...that would be a great idea! I myself have recently published a book, though it is a fantasy book, not a nonfiction work like LS'. It'd be more for our Freepers on the Tolkien ping list. Amazon link here.

[GeronL]

How many FReepers have published books?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Great news - thanks for passing it along! Way to go, LS!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Terrific interview - very cool!

[Travis McGee]

Beats me. Lots of freepers are sort of guarded about their public identities.

[GeronL]

There are probably a few I don't know about

[alcuin]

Distinctly cool.

[Tanniker Smith]

Well, technically, I have a book out (co-written), except that it was a game supplement for Steve Jackson Games.

Normally, I'm reading sci-fi/fantasy junk. (Yeah, it's junk -- I seem to miss the *good* sci-fi/fantasy stuff. It's what I get for buying at thrift shops and library sales.) Well, I read other stuff, too.

Thanks for the post. Just ordered the book.

To LS:

I followed RaceBannon's link above and was led to the following quote (under the link for Kimmel's book):

When the information available in Washington prior to the attack was disclosed to me I was appalled. Nothing in my experience of nearly forty-two years service in the Navy had prepared me for the actions of the highest officials in our government which denied this vital information to the Pearl Harbor commanders.

If those in authority wished to engage in power politics, the least that they should have done was to advise their naval and military commanders what they were endeavoring to accomplish. To utilize the Pacific Fleet and the Army forces at Pearl Harbor as a lure for a Japanese attack without advising the commander-in-chief of the fleet and the commander of the Army base at Hawaii is something I am wholly unable to comprehend.

Admiral Husband Kimmel

What do you think about the above quote, and if both you and Kimmel are correct, then where does the buck land for the deception on the US side that led to Pearl Harbor?

[LS]

I don't know what "vital information" Kimmel was denied. Have you read the orders that came directly from Marshall? Kimmell was completely derelict in his duty. Even a state of "heightened alert" would have demanded he put out long range scout planes; prepared anti-aircraft defenses; and scattered the P-40s. But his "war is iminent" telegram (paraphrasing, as I forget his exact wording) should have taken the Pearl Harbor defenses WAAAAYYYYY beyond that; and then, when you had a midget sub sunk in our own harbor, and Kimmell STILL didn't do anything, well, to blame FDR for this is just lunacy.

Congratulations to LS.......now if we could just get Laura to interview all our FR authors......PING

[Jeff Head]

Hear, Hear, or is that Here, Here?...hehehe.
