I have spent over four years researching and writing a book on James J. Davies who reorganized our Fraternity, the Moose, into what it is today.

It is now available on Kindle and paperback as a Print on Demand novel. The links can be found on this site I manage http://obml.org/ . Just scroll down the page.

Davies went on to serve as Secretary of Labor under three Presidents. Not bad for a boy from Tredegar, Wales.

My reason for being so happy is that although offered for sale Friday, I only began to market it today and sales have started to trickle in.

Thanks for allowing me to boast, Larry

Not to be nitpicking, but is it a novel or a biography? Since a novel is by definition a work of fiction, those two things are mutually exclusive. So did you write a historical novel, interweaving fact with fiction, or just misname the book?

Congrats on your book. Hopefully you'll get some good sales from the Moose. They always sponsored baseball teams in my hometown.

"Not to be nitpicking"? There's always someone who wants to rain on your parade. He didn't say "I wrote a novel", he said it was offered as Print on Demand novel. Semantics! The guy wrote a book. Let him have his moment will you?
