It looks like my upcoming bible study course on the spiritual life and death of ‘Stonewall’ Jackson at Spotsylvania Presbyterian Church will be preceded by a dual-author book signing in the church's Fellowship Hall on Sept. 7th. More details to come. The first class is tentatively slated to start Sept. 10th. I'm really looking forward to this project and will be sharing my experiences here. I'm also about to start the press-promo process for the church book, which according to the publisher, will be arriving on the shelves the second week of Sept. (*Release Party announcement to come.)

I received an unexpected but most welcome email from UK sports author Jim White today. Looks like he’s finally found an American publisher for his 'Baseball Miscellany' book (of which I wrote a rather lengthy Introduction for. Rod Carew wrote the Foreword). Stay tuned for details on that. I also was handed an original copy of 'Civil War Atlas: Steele’s American Campaigns' by a good friend from church today and have spent the better part of the afternoon pouring through the detailed maps. It is an exquisite book and I’ll share more on it later.

See you in a week. I'm goin' fishin' for the BIG ones.
Here's hoping I reel in a shark! Godspeed.
