Well, now that the holiday weekend is over and people are back at their desks, I will hopefully get a clearer picture of what’s happening with the book shortage. I’ve gotten reports that the book is sold out in significant chunks of the country. Amazon tells customers that it will take 3-6 weeks for delivery That is surely not true. It’s a computer generated estimate because they’re out of stock right now. I’ve been assured that Amazon will be reloaded by the end of the week, at the latest. Still, all of this is very frustrating because we’re definitely losing sales and we’ve fired a lot of the media bullets in the clip. I still have some good stuff lined up. But striking while the iron is hot and having product to sell to customers is always a good business practice.

In the meantime, those of you who really liked it can do the book an enormous favor by simply talking it up. Word of mouth ultimately determines a book’s success nine times out of ten, and if all of the folks who’ve said good things to me about the book, just said it to their friends, we’d be off to the races for quite a while. Anyway, no hard sell. Just spread the word if you’re so inclined.

Meanwhile, I’m going to take this brief break from talk radio to write a quick response to Dave Neiwert’s increasingly goofy complaints about me and my book. If the guy wants to remain an “expert” on fascism the smartest thing he could do is stop writing about it. Anyway I should have something up this morning if the phone stays quiet.
