As you will notice from the pricing, I am not looking to get rich off the book. The Kindle version is only $9.99, and the paperback is only $23 even though it is over 400 pages long (however, the pages read quickly because the font is Arial 11 and the line spacing is 1.1). 

The Introduction, Chapter 1, and part of Chapter 2 are included in the free Kindle sample.

Congrats on the new book. A new interview on Out of the Blank would be good to give us a run down on it.

[Pete Mellor]

I get my paperback copy on Friday.

Indeed, Robbie and I have been trying to find a mutually convenient time to do another interview for the last two weeks. Our schedules are not very conducive right now.

[Gary Murr]

Congratulations, Michael - my paperback is scheduled to arrive on Saturday.

I don't think I could add anything to Rothmiller and Thompson's book.

Chap. 17 ---Did you ponder if the dented bullet was as a result of "hand loading"?  A re-used cartridge?

No mention of the bullet circumference shaped indentation with uplifted metal ( hard steel ) on it's edges in the inside portion of the front windshield frame that faced the TXSBD building?

One that no one could remember seeing before 11,22,1963? Not those who cared for the limo, not those who shipped it, not those that had driven it many times before.

Congratulations Michael! I didn't know you were writing a book!

Thanks. I had a book published on the JFK case way back in 1996. It was titled Compelling Evidence and was published by JFK Lancer. I wrote another book in 2002, Hasty Judgment: Why the JFK Case Is Not Closed--A Reply to Gerald Posner's Book Case Closed, but I merely posted it on my JFK website and made no effort to publish it in paper form. 

FWIW, Dr. David Mantik has read my new book and says it "looks great."

Yes, I address the possibility that the cartridge case had already been used and was then hand loaded. As I discuss in that chapter, Chris Mills discovered that a similar dent could be made by loading an empty cartridge.
