November has been the best month for the Turner Report blogs and my writing since I decided two years ago this month to become a full-time writer and blogger.
Most of the money this month has come from sales of Silver Lining in a Funnel Cloud. Thanks for buying the book and for continuing to spread the word about it.
Thanks also to those who have subscribed to the Turner Report/Inside Joplin, renewed their subscriptions, or made contributions.
December 5 Book Signing in Carthage
I will have more information about this at the beginning of next week, but I will be joining other area authors at the Carthage Public Library Saturday, December 5, 10 a.m. to 12 noon for the annual
"Authors for the Holidays" event.
I will have copies of nearly all of my books. Since November 1, I have reduced the price locally for Silver Lining to $20. Anyone who buys Silver Lining can buy one of my other books for $5 off.
I will have a list of other authors who are participating in a few days. There is a rumor that the co-author of 5:41: Stories from the Joplin Tornado and Spirit of Hope, Carthage Press Managing Editor John Hacker, may be there.

ReplyDeleteSeeing how you were run out of reporting and teaching it is nice that you have found your own little niche here in Southwest Missouri as a mere blogging pest on a free google blog.
ReplyDeleteIf other idiots want to eat what you feed them, then so be it. The rest of us only cum here for the lulz.
Some comments speak for therselves.
ReplyDeleteOn Thanksgiving I give thanks for law enforcement and prosecutors who sometimes manage to find a well connected crook or two and give us taxpayers a perpwalk. Meantimes the rest of 'em keep dipping into the bottomless well of taxpayer dollars.
Daddy told me a long time ago that if it's a crook with a white collar the only thing they are ever really sorry for is that they were caught.
