Folks, I have to apologize on behalf of Amazon. There was apparently a rush of some sort on my latest book Murder on the Teche: A True Story of Money and a Flawed Investigation and they got behind on shipments of the book. But now I understand they’re back on schedule and shipping copies out.

To tell you the honest truth, it’s a problem I’ve never experienced in the sale of previous books, but I have to admit it’s one that feels kind of nice. I’ve been tracking Amazon orders online and the numbers have remained encouraging.

Murder on the Teche is the story of the murder of successful orthodontist Robert Chastant in New Iberia in 2010 and the slipshod, amateurish investigation carried out by the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office and the 16th Judicial District Attorney’s office. The killer, an illegal Mexican hired hand, confessed but said the doctor’s wife paid him $1,000 to kill her husband. What followed was one of the most inept investigations I’ve ever seen.

So, here’s the deal: If you want a copy signed to you personally by me, forget Amazon and order either directly from me or click on the red and blue Cavalier House Books to the right of this post. It looks like this:

But don’t click on the image here; it won’t work. Be sure to request a signed copy. The bookstore is a stone’s throw from my house and I will trot my aging body up there and sign the book for you before he ships it out.

The other option is to either click on the yellow DONATE button to the right and pay by credit card or send a check to: Tom Aswell, P.O. Box 922, Denham Springs, Louisiana 70727. The cost is $17.95 whether you purchase from Cavalier or from me and just to sweeten the deal, I will absorb the shipping costs.

Order now before there’s another backlog of shipments.
