Praise from a Future Generation, my 2007 book about the first generation Warren critics, is due as an e-book this fall.
In all probability it will be lost in the tidal wave of assassination books flooding the market this year. Because I like a good pun, I call it a title wave. Soon to be a storm surge, I reckon.
Anyway, for the last couple of years I have spoken on and off with the publisher about this. But it looks now as if it will indeed happen. I signed off on the e-galley today.
There are a few minor additions/corrections to the text. (For reasons I didn't really understand, I was not able to do the deeper adds/cuts/corrections I wanted to do.) In the photo section I cut a few pictures because I don't want to pay the AP a second time, but was able to add a few pictures not in the hard copy, a couple of them in color. But for all intents and purposes it's the same book.
Publication date is October sometime.

John,
Just ordered a hard copy ... couldn't wait
pinwheels:. I prefer hard copies anyway! But e-books have their advantages too. Good news, and congrats.

That was a great book, John. I enjoyed it very much. Truly a unique work among the countless JFK assassination books.

I've always been flattered by the mostly-favorable remarks people make about the book...even those that punish me.
I prefer hard copy too.
As for the Sixth Floor...someone once said it was the only "conspiracy book" sold there. I don't know that for a fact. Some raise an eyebrow. Others equate it with the mark of the beast. The best comment is no comment.

No because we don't have lone nutters here.

Praise from a Future Generation going to my wish list and in October to my Kindle.
Thank you.
Watching for that pyre in front of the Confusatory as further evidence of its revision.
