Through April 12: 20% Off “Chain of Fools”

That’s not Charlie Chaplin, it’s Billy West; those aren’t Keystone Kops; & the guy playing the heavy is Oliver Hardy

I’ve been doing plenty of hustling of late, of my first book and my third book, leaving my second one as a veritable orphan! Luckily, I just heard that now through April 12 the publisher Bear Manor Media will be knocking 20% off the cover price, along with all of their other books! (it doesnt say so on the web site but it subtracts that amount from the purchase price at the virtual check-out). This sale is at the perfect time — just before Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd’s birthdays! Read about them and countless others in Chain of Fools. Go here for your discounted copy.
