FNN Report: White House plans an online store
The White House issued the following press release this morning.
President Trump is delighted to announce the soon-to-be open online store where innocent felons can redeem their freedom. The store will alleviate anxiety and confusion over the pardoning process and eliminate the unfair delays often found in the current process.
The store will allow imprisoned citizens to overcome injustice by providing a simple method to obtain a pardon or to have a sentence commuted.
Both pardons and commuted sentences will be available in single, named and signed documents or single blank, signed documents where the recipient can be filled in later as appropriate. A cost-saving family plan is also available for both pardons and commuted sentences.
The price list for documents is as follows:
Single named pardon: $2 million
Single blank pardon: $5 million
Family plan with five blank pardons: $18 million
Single named commute: $1.5 million
Single blank commute: $4 million
Family plan with five blank commutes: $16 million.
Purchasing a pardon or a commute will make a great present for a loved one.
Checks should be made out to the Donald J. Trump Reelection Committee.
Cash payments will receive a ten percent discount.
As soon as the store opens, the web site location will be announced in a =nother press release.

FNN Report: Pentagon Refuses A Trump Order
Faux News Network’s political reporter, Stacy Conundrum, filed this report from Washington.
Today, the Pentagon refused to obey a direct order from President Trump.
A Pentagon press officer explained to reporters that it was against the law for the military to conduct operations against civilians or their property within the USA. Therefore, the Air Force could not bomb Senator Mitt Romney’s home in Utah as ordered. Similarly, Navy Seals could not conduct a stealth mission to blow up the Senator’s home.
The Pentagon spokesperson went on to say the situation was completely different if Sen. Romney owned a chateau in France. Then, if the French gave the USA permission to penetrate its air space, the Pentagon could bomb the chateau although the French government would surely protest the bombing of its territory. The French would likely retaliate by sending a covert team into Scotland where they would destroy the greens at Trump’s golf course.
Ms. Conundrum will continue to follow this breaking story.

FNN Report: Republican Senators Denounced
Today, The wife of the Vice-president expressed dissatisfaction with the impeachment hearings claiming the Republican Senators were all cowards.
She praised the efforts of the Democrats in both houses and felt they had proved the case that the President committed crimes and deserved to be removed from office
She went on to say “My husband will make a good President and we’ll go to church every Sunday. Maybe more often. He has plans to build a small chapel in the White House and it won’t cost the taxpayers more than fifty million or so.”
She added that the Vice-president suffered severe back pains from standing for long hours behind the President’s desk while he signed executive orders or held press conferences. “It’s time he sat in chair,” she concluded.

Reviews for: How to Self-publish and Market a Book
And right now is on sale at over 50% discount
Lewis Brett Smiler said: The course gave clear and thorough coverage to the numerous tasks involved with self-publishing a book and warned of the many mistakes authors can easily make.
Carol Gyzander’s review read: I am delighted that he covers the early planning stages so well. There are so many things that we hear need to be done for self-publishing and marketing to be successful; it can be overwhelming! The thing I liked best is that Mr. Quense shows what we should do for the six months ahead (as well as the time after) the launch, and breaks it all down, month by month. Finally, some light in the darkness and shape to the madness! The handouts are very useful as well, ranging from simple task lists to sample questions to share with potential reviewers. All in all, a very useful course.
Mark Cain (author of the Circles in Hell series) said: The course provides welcome guidance for the writer who has never before self-published. It really delivers on its promise to help the newbie by demystifying the process. This is not the first Hank Quense offering I’ve examined. One of the things I appreciate about his approach is its “step by step” character. He ticks off all the major, and some minor, tasks for publishing and marketing, gathering them into a simplified timeline (6 months before publication, 5 months, etc.) that is easy to follow and to employ with your own manuscript

Creating Stories: Two New 5-star Reviews
My book Creating Stories has received two new five-star reviews thanks to Booksprout
I found this book interesting and offering a lot of great information on what I need to 
help me get my story out of my head and onto paper. Excellent guide. Patricia Eroh
Hank Quense is the successful author of several series, and shares the rules of writing from perhaps the best, in my opinion, viewpoint. He knows what sells. He reminds us that our primary job as a writer is not to record egotistical spewage (my word), but to entertain, inform, and maybe educate the reader. So he shows how to write in such a way that readers actually want to keep reading. That’s exactly what I need.
This is not a grammar book, by any means, but an accessible discourse on how to best use the medium of written language to connect with an audience.
And I truly appreciate his use of so many personal experiences, and examples of how he applied the principles he shares.
This statement sounds so very wrong, but this was the first textbook which was actually fun. Ghostriver
Creating Stories is available in both ebook and print book editions:

Review for How to Self-publish and Market a Book
“How to Self publish is a very useful book for self publishing authors. Till now I have published three books and working on fourth and still was unaware of the many mistakes that I was committing in publishing my books. The author provides a thorough guide that includes publishing and promotion within a specific predesigned budget. I am feeling much enlightened after reading the book and would definitely employ many of the recommendations to make my next book sell better.” Nicki
