Happy Memorial Day
It isn't the writer who guarded our freedom to express ourselves in writing; it was the veteran.
A good day to proudly fly the flag.

New Videos: Locke & Rio Vista
I went to Locke and Rio Vista and made a couple videos about them as they relate to Tommy's Exodus since they were the setting for the story. You'll see what these small towns look like. The videos are on my profile page and Youtube.

Too Raw for FB
Here's an update on the Kickstarter project.
At the beginning of the project, I had paid a service to distribute my Kickstarter page through social media: FB, Twit, and Instagram. To get more clicks I changed the image to the woman with the smoking gun - click bait. It worked. Clicks doubled. But FB wouldn't go for it because "too much skin," so the image of the book had to be used on FB. Skin was ok with Twit. Here's the irony - there's always irony - FB live streams a murder but bare shoulders is a no-no.
Later,
Rob

Kickstarter Project
In order to raise money for promoting Tommy's Exodus, I'm running a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter.
In a day or two I'll have posted on the project's page a couple short videos about Rio Vista and Locke, CA. Two of the settings for the story.
If you have any ideas of how to improve the project, message me, and I'll try them.

All the best,

A Book is Demanding to be Written
Although I've got a book in my head, Third City, I've had to put off writing to devout my time to promoting what I've written. But, I'll have a new poetry book, Like Dry Toast in Hot Tea, published in September.
