There’s a massive book sale going on at The Big Based Book Sale! Let’s face it, the ideology behind modern entertainment including reading doesn’t rule everything. After all, just yesterday (as I write this), I cited a Bounding Into Comics article which quoted actor Russell Crowe (who starred in the 2003 film Master and Commander) as saying:
“There was an article recently in GQ asking the question, you know, why are so many 30-year-olds obsessed with Master and Commander? And there’s a lot of reasons. And one of the things that they said in the article was that they believe because everybody on board the boat and it’s a very masculine situation on board that boat, you know, but everybody has a job. Everybody’s on this adventure together. They’re all willing to work as a unit. They’re all willing to be led by this one guy. In fact, they love that guy and they want to do their very best for this guy.”
After all, why do you think the movie Top Gun: Maverick (2022) was such a success? Even younger people are craving old world examples of masculinity, honor, basic values, and heroics. New books steeped in those virtues still exit.
This book sale is everything I said above and is available starting today, June 21, 2023 through June 27th.
I’ve got a short story in an anthology in the Fan Favorites section. The book is called Shoot the Devil and my short story is Wolf in the Wind.
In the New Arrivals section, look for my novelette set in the far future on the high seas, Ice.
Note that “Ice” will be FREE to download onto your Kindle device from the 22nd through the 26th, which is as long as Amazon would let me do it for.
Keep in mind, there are just a ton of authors and their books represented at this sale, so you’ve got a wide variety to choose from (or what the heck, buy them all).
Fan Fav authors include: Misha Burnett, Declan Finn, L. Jagi Lamplighter, N.R. LaPoint, Frank B. Luke, Christopher G. Nuttall, Francis Porretto, James Pyles, David Roome, Denton Salle, and many more.
Many of the same names (including mine) can be found under New Arrivals plus Marina Fontaine, Steve Stinson, Michael Tierney, Kalkin Trivedi, Donavan Walker, William Alan Webb, Marisa Wolf, and James Young.
Click on the link to The Big Based Book Sale! and feel free to browse. Hopefully, you’ll find something or a lot of somethings you like. Indie writers need love, too.
Remember, the last day of the sale is June 27th and a big thanks to Hans G. Schantz for hosting it all.
