More Great News

I received word this week from Event Network, Inc. that the book will now go onto the book shelves of the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, California and on the shelves at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia.

Postscript: 12/31/2021. I can only resume that some one higher up didn’t like my book in the MCX because there are no holds bared, I don’t lie or tell half truths and some folks can’t handle the truth. So, it is no longer there. Which suits me fine. That’s all the more reason to read it, but you can only get it from me now as I have broken off the contract with my POD publisher who was rapping me off. See the link “Buy The Book” on the website. Thanks and Semper Fi Brothers and Sisters.

Commercial Break

11 Comments

Well, after a little more than a year I finally received a book trailer I had requested and paid for back in January 2022. So, I thought I’d give it a try out here on the blog. LOL I just wanted to get it out there and see what it looks like and how it’s accepted. There is a gross error in it however. The book is NOT available on Amazon anymore at their highly inflated price that they never shared with me. Talk about a rip off. Anyway, I cut ties with the publisher and Amazon at the same time. Until I find another publisher, I do have a few of the hard covers that survived the hurricane here in September, and I do have a few that did get a little wet which I will sell really cheap. The others I’ll let go for $30 personally inscribed and I will eat the postage to you. Anyway, let me know what you think of the trailer.  You may have to copy and paste the URL below to see the trailer. I hope you enjoy it.

Commercial Break

LOL, Sorry, but it’s time for a commercial break for this old man. SMILES. I hope you don’t mind, but need to do this every now and again — haven’t done it so far this year.

If you have not read THE BOOK yet, shame on you. LOL Great reviews on Amazon, but don’t buy there, it’s a rip off. Am currently working with another publisher to perhaps have it republished. I do; however, have several hard covers I bought from the previous publisher before I dropped them; they were ripping me off! If you are working on a book and are thinking of going POD (Publish On Demand), it would behoove you to talk to me first so I can give you some warnings to help you avoid the problems I experienced. Meanwhile I would like to sell the ones I have.

Remember, it is not a autobiography except that it follows my career from a delinquent HS kid to retiring thirty-six years later simply for organizational purposes. It’s more about the great mentors and leaders I experienced. I mention the good, the bad, and even the ugly –I pull no punches, which is why it will never appear on CMC’s reading list LOL. I sell the hard cover for $35, [personally inscribed and signed, AND if it is for a military person (past, present or future), I eat the $4.35 postage. Contact me at sgt-b@comcast.net or click on “Buy the Book” to the left and I will contact you for information so I can personalize the inscription. Thank you for bearing with me during this short commercial break. 

Below is a picture of the back of the dust cover on hard back copy. A great gift for a Marine.
