If you’re like me, you tend to tune out all those annoying “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday” TV ads which can be nearly as annoying and brain-numbing as the political ads leading up to the recent gubernatorial election.
That’s why I refrained from posting any such demeaning ads for my latest book, Louisiana’s Rogue Sheriffs: A Culture of Corruption. (That, and the fact that I don’t have any such special offers for “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday.”)
But if you have someone on your Christmas list who (a) is a political junkie and (b) loves to read, then by all means, I would suggest you consider this book as an ideal stocking-stuffer.
For that matter, you could just go ahead and order one for everyone on your Christmas list and avoid the crowds at the mall while getting that pesky shopping out of the way early. (How’s that for pandering?)
Want to alert a friend with a word to the wise about what could happen to him in an unfriendly parish if he gets out of line? Give him this book.
Want to send a subtle message to an officer or deputy who got a little heavy-handed in the way he treated you during a traffic stop? The book’s a great way to do that—so long as you do so anonymously.
Seriously, I’m gratified that the book is receiving favorable reviews on Amazon, where you can purchase it for $35. But you can save $5 by clicking on the image of the book in the right hand column and ordering it from Cavalier House Books in Denham Springs or by clicking on the yellow DONATE button (also in the right hand column) and ordering directly from me. Either way, the price is $30.
(Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with Cavalier House Books other than my friendship with the owners, John and Michelle Cavalier. John originally built this web page—at no charge to me—and I insisted that he place an ad on this page. It’s the only advertising that I accept and I don’t charge for it. It’s just my way of supporting local bookstores.)
