<p>I just wanted to let you know my book WAIFS OF THE WASTELAND is now available on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.com. Soon it should also be released on Kindles and Nooks, but for now you can get a print copy. I hope you like it, and if you do, give me a favorable review. Do me a favor, will you? Let others know about the book. I gotta sell copies, the more the better.</p>

It is a hectic world filled not only with movie folk but also with bootleggers and socialist-labor leaders, sassy flappers and newshounds. In their midst appears a genuine tough guy who reaches for a star – and nearly captures her.</span></p>
