Here is a great announcement and offer from Jack and Pat Owens. Jack was a very popular houseguest on BB4 and Pat has posted here in the past as Mademoiselle. They both still check out TVCH, they tell us. As I'm sure most of you remember, Jack was a retired FBI agent and quite the interesting guy. Well, has news from his present life: Pat tells us: Jack has a book coming out August 15th. The title is Don't Shoot! We're Republicans! and it is being published by History Publishing Company in Palisades, NY. Although the title might suggest it is a political book, it is not, but rather a memoir of Jack's 30 years in the FBI. The title actually comes from one of the humorous stories in the book. This morning we learned from Jack's publisher that the folks who have always been so supportive of Jack when he was in BB4 will be allowed to pre-order the book at a discounted price and Jack will personally sign or inscribe the book if they wish. The publisher's price is $16.99 (softcover) and TVCH fans may order the book for $13.00 + $2.00 shipping (media mail). This price is only good for pre-orders made before August 15th. Here is the link from the publisher's website: http://www.historypublishingco.com/authors_owens.html in case you want to check it out. If there is anyone who wishes Jack to sign a book for them, they can email Pat (Mademoiselle) at patowens48@msn.com and using the email address they send me, I will send them an invoice through pay&pal for $15 per book. They can let Jack know when they contact us if they want the book signed and/or inscribed.
