Hi!
I want to let everyone know about my memoir, WHEN FORCE MEETS FATE, which I just started a funding campaign to publish.
As you probably know, I need 750 pre-orders before that can happen. If you can, please consider ordering the book. And if you have a book of your own in the works please send me the link and I’ll return the favor (I promise!).
Thanks!
Jamison

And if one book of my work just isn’t enough, I have good news for you. My chilling short story "New Suit" has been published in Writing Bloc’s latest anthology "Deception". It’s a fantastic collection of stories written by some amazing authors all in one convenient package. Follow the link to get your hands on that bad boy.
Thank you all for following my progress and helping me achieve this life long goal. I hope you all have a fantastic holiday and wish you all the best in the new year.

** PROJECT UPDATE **
Last night the digital e-Book copies of The Wildlife Confessional shipped (=became available) to backers. Unfortunately, on the print-side we’ve been working closely with Inkshares over the last week to troubleshoot a printing deficiency that came about during production - the quality of the illustrations on the paper page wasn’t up to snuff, something the printer has assured us was a one-off.
Those of us - like myself - that value the printed word on paper pages will have to sit tight while they queue up the presses for a new run of books, which likely won’t arrive until after the New Year. But I hope those of you who e-read have already tucked in to your copy of The Wildlife Confessional and are busy tap-turning the pages late into the night.
Thank you again for your patience - they say good things come to those who wait, so this must be a good thing coming :).
Happy Holidays,
The Editors

DECEMBER BASEBALL UPDATE.
GOING, GOING, GONE! Thanks to the Inkshares staff for working so hard on the book! We are looking at a June 1, 2020 publishing date.
WASHINGTON WINS. 7 games over the Astros. I’m glad I don’t bet on sports because I loudly picked the Astros to win.
GREAT PITCHING AND CHEAP HOMERS. 2019 baseballs flew farther, in part because the seams on the ball were tighter and lower, creating less air resistance off the bat. Homers are great. But the running game--stolen bases, doubles, and triples are also great, AND leave runners on base, for simmering excitement.
CALCULATE THAT, MATHNERDS! This century, analytics have proven that taking risks on the bases is rarely smart. So we are treated to watching baserunners standing still, waiting for the batter to succeed or fail. It’s like observing someone waiting for a bus: yawn! Pro baseball could change the equation thusly: steal second, get awarded third. Steal third, trot on home! Let’s see the calculators overheating in all 30 major league office suites as they come to the conclusion: scour the world for base stealers and STEAL STEAL STEAL!!!!!
THE .497 GIANTS. The Giants’ new manager, Gabe Kapler, has a .497 lifetime winning percentage (161-163), same as their old manager, the brilliant-in-the-playoffs-and-World-Series Bruce Bochy (.497, 2003-2029). As a manager, in off-field decisions, and in answering questions, Kapler has failed to impress anyone other than Giants’ brass. We fans will wait and see if he can, literally, win over us.
2019 APPRECIATION. Oakland, San Francisco, New Yankee, Wrigley, New Comiskey, Milwaukee, and a minor league ballpark. Two overall highlights: my fabulous wife and I touring Wrigley Field together before a game; my son returning to our seats with baseballs he artfully snags.
