Following the latest trend, I’ve priced the three Story of the Great American Flying Broomstick books (Genesis, The Missing Wand, and Fog at the Crossroads) at the lowest price Amazon allows: 99¢! Lots of authors of great books are doing this, counting on the low price to add to their readership.
C’mon, take a dollar bill out of your pocket and look at it. That’s all it takes to move one of the books to your Kindle or iPad or whatever your favorite e-reading platform is. Do it today!
Take a look at the Kindle edition of “The Story of the Great American Flying Broomstick!” It’s earned a glowing review, which I quote here, written by R.M. Putnam, author of the Destiny’s Warriors Series:
I approached this book thinking, “Oh, a book that is going to hang on Harry Potter’s coat tail” WRONG! This was a brilliant book that captured my full attention. Right from the get go before I even got to chapter one I was captivated. This story is charming, fun and exciting and I think Disney would love to turn it into a movie given the chance. The charaters are life like and easy to relate too. I love the discription that gave me a wonderful visual. Great Story! Can’t wait to read the next one

I’m hard at work finalizing the first draft of The Unexpected Traveler, my new fantasy novel. It goes well beyond the limits explored by the flying broomstick series and enters its own fantasy world. This project excites me! It will be released on Kindle hopefully before year’s end. This is one great book!

This award, for one of the articles in a Mt. Sneffels Press book, is a feather in Jim’s cap. It’s a national award from a respected organization whose members and evaluation committees include most of the recognized experts in the field. It shows that quality work can come from small, local historical societies and from local presses.
The WWHA is an international organization devoted to the history of the American West and what made it wild. They publish a Journal six times a year with well-documented articles. Their Roundup this year was held in Cody, Wyoming, in July. Their website is www.wildwesthistory.org.

It used to be I could send books via Priority Mail to Canada for about the same price as USA Priority Mail. But when I wasn’t looking, that changed! I just received an order for a Canadian address. The system (PayPal) collected far less money than it actually cost. So I’ve changed everything on the site. Canada is now “International” just like all other non-US destinations.
