My book update


Well, I've just completed two sets of letters to send to people across the country regarding my books, and thought I'd copy and paste one of them to share to readers, in case anyone was interested in the following information. Here it is:

I’ve been continually telling myself I would take a nice mental break at some point over the past couple years. However, that hasn’t been the case. Ever since I recovered from my 20-month illness in the early part of 2011, my creative juices have been flowing - perhaps feeling the need to make up for lost time during those 20 months - and I’ve now published five books in the past 15 months (890 pages worth). One landed me on a radio talk show this past August, and I’m hopeful that will occur again at some point this year. The books have included: Two comedies, two political satires, and one of the poetry variety. I also have a nonfiction manuscript completed and am awaiting agent representation for it, am 53 pages into a third political satire, and 16 pages into a satire of the non-political variety.

Also, while I’m still kind of old-fashioned when it comes to reading books (paperbacks), my work has recently been introduced to a brand new market - Kindle. All five of these published books can now be downloaded onto one’s Kindle via Amazon and for a much cheaper price than the paperback versions. The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s (uncensored version); The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck (censored version); Penetrating The Heart Of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling; LOL at the GOP; and LOL at the GOP - Volume 2: 47% Awesome 100% of the Time can all be downloaded onto your Kindle for just $2.99 a piece.

If you’d rather go the paperback route, the five before-mentioned books can be found at the following URL and carry with them the following prices:

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you do decide to purchase a copy(-ies), I sincerely hope you enjoy it (them). Take care and have a great rest of your winter!

Sincerely,

Me (no, this is not how I signed the actual letters)

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

Due to some tweets of mine, I got mentioned on the following two sites (all my tweets can be viewed here -  https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki ): https://crooksandliars.com/2019/04/trump-gives-stupid-advice-george https://hinterlandgazette.com/2019/03/istandwithschiff-is-trending-after-donald-trump-led-gop-attack-on-adam-schiff-backfires-spectacularly.html

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
