Rod’s comments from the The Indie Connection: Authors and Bloggers Unite! group.

As a journalist, I’ve come to realize that when a concept becomes “baked” into the public’s psyche it most often is false or at least flawed. This is where the idea for The Thin White Line originated, first as an article, then an essay, and finally as a novel.
Issues of race and culture are better dealt with as literary fiction because their complexity demands subtlety and nuance. Nothing is black and white. I situated my protagonist in circumstances where he’d be exposed to the overt and the systemic, the well-intentioned and the misdirected. The research and the writing at times were disturbing, enlightening, frightening and frustrating.
If you’re interested in reading/reviewing/rating /commenting on the theme of The Thin White Line – Culture War with Deadly Consequences, a racially charged novel that includes political suspense, domestic terrorism and murder, please reach out to me at rod_raglin@yahoo.com

I’m exploring ways to promote my new, self-published novel, The Thin White Line - Culture War with Deadly Consequence, that’s honest (no review swaps), effective and inexpensive (free).

In the past, I’ve offered authors the opportunity to promote their books (in their own words – I don’t endorse them) on my blog with links to my social media pages. My latest novel is a racially charged story of political suspense, domestic terrorism, and murder, however, you don’t have to write in the same genre.
