Over
the weekend, my novel Pilot Point got
a very nice mention at my favorite blog, Ace of Spades, in their weekly book
thread. You’ll find it at the link
under "Books by Morons".
Before
I proceed further, I should mention that “morons” are those who frequent and
comment at that blog. It is a good
epithet in this context. Just
trust me on that.
With
that disclaimer, Oregon Muse posted the following on his aforesaid book thread.
--------
Moron
commenter WannabeAnglican
has self-published his first novel, Pilot
Point. I'll let him tell you about it:
Pilot Point is a very
Texan novel set along I-20 in West Texas and around the town of Pilot Point in
North Texas. With drought, dust, cowboys, and cattle, it could be called a
Western except it is set in the late 20th Century and not many get shot up.
At the same time, Pilot
Point has a strong Anglican flavor, weaving The Book of Common Prayer and traditional Christian themes through
the story. (And that without being heavy-handed about it. I sought to write a
weighty work of literature, not a Christian tract.) Not many novels have both
cowboys and Anglicanism.
So
this is probably going to be the best d**n Anglican cowboy novel you'll read
all year.
But
wait, there's more:
I will hold the release
event for Pilot Point at a GUN SHOW – at the Shiners Gun Show in Corpus Christi
on November 8th. I thought that more interesting than having it at a local
bookstore and a way to get the novel more directly to fellow Texans who would
appreciate it. Besides, it’s a GUN SHOW!
So
it looks like at least some of you Texas morons down near Corpus Christi might
be able to take in a gun show and meet the author, too. That's almost a perfect
day.

Got
that right!
Thanks
again to Oregon Muse for the mention.
And
your support is appreciated at well.
Don’t forget to “like” Pilot Point on Facebook.
And don’t forget you can get Pilot Point for as little as $2.99, or
even free if you are enrolled in certain Amazon programs.
You
know what to do.
