I’m experimenting with a new newsletter, starting just through the holidays. I’m actually mailing this to people, but I’m also posting back-issues online. Here’s the first, the October 2008 issue, all about fear.

Friday Snippet: Kick the Pastor Out of the Church

October 17, 2008 – 9:55 am

Another snippet from my dad John King’s memoir Can You See God in This Picture, this time a particulary painful chapter in my own memory.

A friend of mine emailed and asked:

I’m still refining my publishing process, and I don’t intend to publish [...]

Good Enough, Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People LIKE Me

October 1, 2008 – 3:43 pm

Yeah, I’m probably dating myself with the Stuart Smalley reference.
Anyhow, the first comments are in on the first book of The Conscience of Abe’s Turn, and largely positive. “Can’t put it down.” “Want to find out how things turn out.” And so forth.
Of course, these were all from friends and family, whom I expect to [...]
