Be sure to check out his new blog.
I’ve heard just three complaints about bookbinding errors, in copies of my novel “Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse” . In all three cases, there were dozens of repeated pages, where the corresponding correct pages were missing. Yikes! (In the book publishing world, this is called a “folio sequencing error”.) I suppose that this small number of reported errors is not bad for a book with more than 30,000 copies in print, but it is still troubling. If you have purchased a copy of “Patriots” with a binding error, then please call, e-mail or write the publisher …

Several SurvivalBlog readers have written to mention that they’d like to help with The Memsahib‘s medical expenses. That was very kind, but by God’s wonderful providence, we are in no need of contributed funds to pay for her health care costs. (I recently signed a contract with Simon & Schuster to write two novels as sequels to “Patriots“). We covet only your prayers.
