Remember the tariffs (taxes) that brewed a revolution? I stand firm against new tariffs by not passing taxes on to my readers, and by ensuring that all my books are MADE IN THE USA. Please support my Patriot efforts by purchasing my books for yourself or as gifts.

Why I’m remembering the Boston Tea Party, 250 years later :
