TGIF, y'all...

On Friday I sent out a newsletter, and if you're a subscriber, there's no need for you to read this post. It's already shown up in your mailbox.

If you don't get my newsletter—and if you'd like to—just send a blank email to lawbloc@gmail.com with GOODREADS in the subject line. That'll get you on the list, but it won't get you this most recent issue. So go ahead and read the post:


LB's TGIF June Newsletter

Ah yes, TGIF, those ever-so-useful initials. Back in my bride's time as a print-and-runway fashion model, TGIF was a handy mnemonic that her fellow models were advised to write on the insoles of their shoes. I'll be happy to tell you what it stood for, but I have other things I need to tell you first.

It's been a busy week—at Book Expo America, at LB's Bookstore, and, remarkably enough, at the computer keyboard, where I actually sat down and wrote something.

Last things first. The new story is entitled "The Ehrengraf Settlement," and you won't be astonished to learn that it features the criminous criminal lawyer, Martin H. Ehrengraf, who never loses a case because all of his clients turn out to be as innocent as he presumes them to be. This is Ehrengraf's 11th appearance since his debut in 1978, and it will soon join its fellows on Kindle. There, because it's brand new, it'll be priced at $2.99. (The others are just 99¢ apiece.)

But why pay $2.99—or even 99¢—for a single story, when you can get all 11 for $4.99? And you will very soon be able to do just that, with the Kindle-publication of Ehrengraf For the Defense as a full-length eBook. It should be available within the week.

Nor need you buy a pig in a poke. Around the time the eBook goes on sale, there'll be a 24-hour window during which the first story in the collection, "The Ehrengraf Defense," will be offered as a free Kindle download. If you like it, you can elect to buy other stories, or grab the complete book. And, if you don't like it, you can save your money and escape unscathed.

At Book Expo America, the publishing industry's annual trade show at the Javits Center, I had the great pleasure of finally meeting Bill Schafer of Subterranean Press. We've been doing business for years, and I have the warmest feelings and highest regard for this superb small-press publisher, yet somehow we never met face to face.

A few days ago we sat down to omelets, at what the Hollywoodenheads would call a power breakfast....

And that's as much of the Goodreads site as I feel justified in taking up. To read the rest (and there's quite a bit with some interesting news and offers) just click here to read the whole newsletter on my blog
