About September Day

No living American can, or should, forget 9/11. But the process of trying to place this book with a major publisher has alerted me to the fact that many indeed want to do just that. Repeatedly, my agent got rejections with the words, "It's well written, but we don't want to touch that topic." They could have added, " . . . especially from a patriotic point of view", as this book offers.

Fortunately, a friend and published author in his own right, Jeff Head, assisted me in bringing this into print. Jeff's Dragon's Fury Series, a techno-thriller about World War with China and Iran that arises out of current events, is a testimony to what self-publishing of a good book can accomplish. Jeff has served as production supervisor and as "editor" in most matters of getting this into print

Although it never was accepted by a major publishing house, I don't think it was for a want of trying on the part of my agent, Scott Hoffman, and I thank him for his many labors on my behalf.

Finally, my intent was never to write a "religious" fiction, but I do hope that the Christian faith of several of the characters emerges as a reflection of the One hero above all others, Jesus Christ.

SEPTEMBER DAY

By Larry Schweikart, author of the best selling, "A Patriot's History of the United States"
About Larry Schweikart

Larry Schweikart, a former rock drummer whose band reached the big-time concert level as the opening act for Steppenwolf, quit that career path in 1976, when he returned to Arizona State University to obtain a teaching certificate. In the process he took a history class that changed his life. From that moment on, he wanted to be a history professor .

In 1977, Larry entered the Arizona State history program to obtain a master's degree. In the process wrote a national prize-winning article on Peary's quest for the North Pole. A year later, Larry was ready for a Ph.D. program, and attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he completed all exams in one year, graduating with distinction two years later after completing his dissertation, "Banking in the American South" During his M.A. and Ph.D. work, he authored two books: A History of Banking in Arizona (1982) and Trident (1984), a book Schweikart co-authored with Doug Dalgleish, which was a history/policy study of the Trident submarine program. His dissertation became his fourth book. Larry has now been a professor of history at the University of Dayton for more than 20 years, producing a total of more than 20 academic books and 50 articles.

Most recently, his book, co-authored with Michael Allen, A Patriot's History of the United States (Sentinel, 2004, has sold more than 42,000 copies and is in its fourth printing in less than a year. His newest non-fiction, "America's Victories: Why Americans Win Wars, and Will Win the War on Terror", will appear from Sentinel in May 2006.

FReepers are the best.

[SeaBiscuit]

Best wishes to LS and Jeff Head, I hope it sells millions.

[DollyCali]

I hope so also. I intend to get one this week. Will be emailing the thread link to conservatives..both FReeper & non FReeper.. Hope many here do the same so we give them LOTS of exposure.

Larry's difficulty in release reminds me of Mel Gibson's problem finding a company to release The Passion.. Liberals just don't want a part of it.

[beaversmom]

Very nice! Congratulations to you LS and JeffHead. I love my FReeper FRiends--a very talented bunch.

[SevenofNine]

Best wishes to Jeff and LS

Rack itt btw I wonder if NY Slimes would profile this book probably NOTTTTT LOL!

I think NY Times dont' like FR because we goof on them all the time especially Maureen "I got my a*** for Catherine Zeta Jones" LOL!

And that old fart Frank Rich LOL!

[DollyCali]

It would be nice to get some plugs to anyone with "connections" on the conservative talk shows. Laura Ingrahm, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved; Tony Snow; Bill Bennet; Rush..

Have a tissue handy when you read this one. But you'll also cheer at the end.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

A congratulatory BTTT!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks for this GREAT thread. I really did not do much here...just used the outlet I have to get Larry's great book out. He is the author and it is his work.

Everyone who remembers 911 and the horror of it, and the terror of the perpetrators and attackers, and who remembers and cherishes the sacrifice and patriotism and heroism of those who suffered and fought back that day...and those who have odne so since, should read this book.

Folks can also visit the official site and read more at:

[LS]

"I'm dreaming." Sigh. My wife used to say that. :)

Hope you'll check out my book. It is really a good read.

[Travis McGee]

Is there somewhere for folks to read some chapters on line?

[Jeff Head]

Thanks bro. I do not believe you will be disappointed in the least. It wil be another one for the guys to pass around.

Hope all is well for you...mind your knot!

[4CJ]

Kudos to Larry and Jeff. Now to go get a copy!

[Jeff Head]

Larry's "A Patriot's History of the United States", is also a wonderful book and one every school and every home should teach from as regards the history of this nation.

Good reading...and good principles...all together in one...er, two books! LOL!

[Jeff Head]

I'm working on it! Suggesting like 4 excerpts/chapters.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you! You will not be disappointed. Please consider a review on FR and Amazon after you read it. God's speed.

[ncpatriot]

...and I just purchased from Amazon The Patriots History of the United States. Can't keep up. LOL

[IronJack]

Congratulations, Larry. Having corresponded with you on numerous threads, I know you to be a conscientious, insightful conservative who does our cause proud. I trust your book will do no less.

And Jeff's work is every bit the match. Together, you should have produced a milestone novel.

[Euro-American Scum]

Congratulations on the release of an important work. Regardless of who put in the effort, it's imperative the message of 9/11 be told. In this soundbyte environment, it's all too easy to forget.

[Kerretarded]

Cool.

Fellow UD man.

Bookmarked.

[hattend]

BTTT

[Jeff Head]

it's imperative the message of 9/11 be told. In this soundbyte environment, it's all too easy to forget.

Amen to that...and this work by Larry does just that...tells the story.

[Jeff Head]

FYI.

[zip]

I'll be shopping at Barnes and Noble this PM. Hope it's there now.

Congratulations to LS and Jeff Head.

[hosepipe]

Bi-focal ping...

[Calpernia]

Very cool!

We really have a lot of rising star freepers! Our freeper, StillProud2befree just released her second book.

Great jobs LS and Jeff head! I will come by and buy your books too!

BTTT!!!!!!!!!!

[Calpernia]

My order is being processed.

I'm going to end up with an entire freeper library :)

[.30Carbine]

Thank you so much for the ping, Jeff, and for all you do.

[MontanaBeth]

bump to buy book! Congratulations to you both.

[TonyRo76]

Big ol' Book Bump!
Congratulations to both of you!!

[LS]

It's there, zip.

[LS]

Thanks Tony. Jeff is really the editor/producer, and if this works out, it may be the basis of a major Freeper publishing empire :)

[codercpc]

I just ordered from Amazon, I can't wait to read it. Good luck.

[A Texan]

I am about to purchase it but do you prefer it ordered from Amazon or Barnes & Nobles. Let me know if it matters (not sure why it would).

Mr. Head now get off you butt and write some more books!!! Just kidding, but seriously, I just reread the Dragons Fury series for the 2 time and I need a new fix.

[Travis McGee]

I'd say at least 25% of a book is minimum to really "hook" readers. If they get that far into reading it, and they like it, they will for SURE buy it. I constantly hear from readers, "I started reading your excerpts, and had to buy your book!" I see no advantage at all to hiding your light under a bushel basket.
