More on the Wounded Warriors

Geez, where does the time go.

Since my last post, I've begun teaching a writing class with a group of wounded warriors at Ft. Bragg, NC. I don't think I've ever done anything in my life that has given me so much gratification in such a short time. These guys are the real American heroes we've heard about. They have much to say and much to teach us about dedication to duty, humility and courage.

I'm going to continue working with these guys at least through the end of the year and I will treasure every minute of the time. It's clear to me that our soldiers are not only deserving of our respect and support, but that we owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude. Thank you, come home safe.

In other news, the paperback edition of The Tangled Web is off to the presses in the next few weeks, I've updated the epilogue with new information and am looking forward to the next wave of promotional work, coming up in March.

I've been invited to do an interview about the book for the Mary Ferrell Foundation, which will be taped in Dallas this November during the annual JFK symposium sponsored by JFK Lancer. I would encourage any of you who have an interest in the JFK assassination to learn more about both groups. JFK Lancer's website Click here provides access to important historical information about the Kennedy assassination as well as Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

The Mary Farrell Foundation Click here is dedicated to the dissemination of information about these assassinations as well. They have the largest collection of documents gathered anywhere and they have recently added a searchable copy of my book to that collection. I encourage you to check them out.
