THIS IS LIFE, the long-awaited sequel to Jack Wakes Up, is now available as an eBook on all the usual selling-places. 

But mainly, most of all, I'd like you to consider buying it for Amazon Kindle, which can really help out my general chart-rise over there. Here's the link to the book on Kindle. 

If you don't have a Kindle, you can still comply. Just grab up a FREE Kindle reader App for the web, your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Droid or whatever else you may have using this link: Free Kindle Apps of all Kinds.

THIS IS LIFE is also available for Nook, on Smashwords, and in the iBookstore soon.

This book corresponds to the original text of the THIS IS LIFE podcast and does not contain the Czechmate content. That's coming soon in its own eBook. Stay tuned!

For now, enjoy THIS IS LIFE!

Fan Makes and Binds Special Copies of JP2

So I think this is one of the coolest things to happen in a while.

Check out this guy's blog. Basically, he wrote me and asked for a version of JACK PALMS II: This Is Life that his students could read along with as they listened to the podcast. Loving students and teachers, I sent a PDF of the book right along.

Now I see this super cool blog post where he's actually hand-bound printouts of the PDF for his peeps! They look awesome. Anyway, check this out.

Oh, also, Jason Pinter has been awesome enough to mention YOUNG JUNIUS and talk it up in his most recent post at the Huffington Post. It's here: Books Uncovered.

Episode 19

In Episode 19, you describe Jack carrying a revolver, then have him engaging the safety before sticking it in his waistband. Revolvers do not have safeties.
