Give Passport Stamps for the Holidays

First, I want to thank you for subscribing and reading my SubStack in 2023. I’m grateful for your support and interest in my analysis and stories about conflicts and fragile states.

Second, I want to thank those who have purchased my book, Passport Stamps: Searching the World for a War to Call Home. If you have read it, I’d really appreciate it if you can take a moment and go to Amazon and/or Good Reads and give it a rating (and review if you are so inclined). The more ratings I get, the more it helps my placement in searches.

If you haven’t purchased a copy, now’s the perfect time. Books make great gifts!

And books signed by the author make even better gifts. I have 25 copies on hand and for $35 will sign and ship a copy anywhere in the United States.

Otherwise, you can always purchase a copy (paperback or eBook) through the usual suspects:

You can also purchase directly from my publisher, Madville Publishing.

And if you haven’t already, please tell family, friends, coworkers, book clubs, or anyone else you know about the book and encourage them to buy it. Share this email. Post about the book on your socials! Selling books is a team effort, and I need your help to close out the year strong.

Also, if you work for or belong to an organization that deals with journalism, international affairs, or mental health, I’m still booking speaking events and happy to arrange talks in the DC area or online.

Lastly, I just found out Boise State Public Radio’s interview of me on their program Reader’s Corner aired right after Thanksgiving. You can listen here.

Hope you have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season, and best wishes for 2024!
