Louisiana Voice

Don’t forget to order your copy of my latest book, Louisiana’s Rogue Sheriffs: A Culture of Corruption. If you’ve ever wondered if sheriffs are really as politically powerful as all the pundits say, you need only read my book to find out.

Prostitution, profiteering, conflicts of interest, ethics violations, theft, drugs, even murder: it’s all there, from Plaquemine and St. Bernard parishes to Caddo and Bossier, from Ouachita to Iberia, from Jefferson to Jefferson Davis. From Jena to Jonesboro, from St. Tammany to St. Francisville, from New Orleans to Mansfield. Big, small, they’re all there. Many of the sheriffs are long dead but others are still alive and in office.

You can get your signed copy for $30 vis credit card by clicking on the yellow  button in the column to the right of this post or by sending a check for $30 per copy to: Tom Aswell, P.O. Box 922, Denham Springs, Louisiana 70727. (Hey, you might just want to go ahead and get one for everyone on your Christmas list and get that pesky Christmas shopping out of the way for this year.)

My first book signing was delayed by Tropical Storm Barry and has been re-scheduled for 2 p.m. on Aug. 3 at Cavalier House Books in Denham Springs. There will be a simultaneous signing at Cavalier’s by Ruston author Johnny Armstrong of his book, Shadow Shine. It’s a very good book with a strong ecological theme that you’re certain to find entertaining and educational.

On Friday at 9 a.m., I will be on the Jim Engster Show on Louisiana Public Radio to discuss my book. You can listen to the live podcast by clicking on THIS LINK at 9 a.m., and then clicking on “Listen Live!”

Hint: because it’s a “listen live” link, it won’t work until the show starts at 9 a.m.
