Please don’t take this as badgering or begging, because the last thing I want is to appear like some despicable televangelist trying to convince viewers that he/she will receive a blessing for sending their last dime to him. That’s just morally wrong.

But what I will do is simply remind you that our Spring fundraiser is in process and IF YOU CAN DO SO, your contribution to dedicated journalism would be appreciated. I’m fully aware there are other concerns far more deserving of your assistance than I. (Your local food pantry comes to mind. So do other charities.) But if it’s feasible and practicable in the wake of skyrocketing prices on everything, any contribtution would held and would be so much appreciated.

And anyone contributing $50 or more will receive a signed copy of my upcoming book, The Dinosaur Club–a historical novel about a group of retired newspaper reporters to undertake one last assignment to take down a child sex trafficking operation. In addition to the book’s fictional plot, it also contains many, many actual facts about child sex trafficking by churcn and religious leaders, police, judges, foster homes and politicians. At any given time, there are as many as 600,000 children being trafficked worldwide, not only for sexual purposes, but for labor, drug smuggling and other activities. And one of the main arteries for child sex trafficking in the U.S. is the I-10 corridor between New Orleans and Houston.
