Folks,
We have been working really hard on “Breaking from the Enemy”! The cover is done but we need your help to pick which one to use. Please go to http://www.koehlerbooks.com/cover-polls/ and vote on which cover design you like. You need to hurry, final edits to the book are finishing up right now.
Folks,
I hope you have been enjoying your summer so far. We have been busy here at the J.R. Sharp camp. My publisher has my first edit cut on my new book “Breaking from the Enemy.” That only leaves two more edits and hopefully we can get the book out in early October. Still designing the cover and other odds and ends. If you have any questions, just shoot me an email. Here is a small taste:
“When Gino makes his move to escape, his enemies pick up his trail as he heads south to the ancient city of Monte Cassino. After arriving, a catholic nun turned Italian partisan, Caroline Franco, takes him through the ancient trails of the Latin Valley to escape his pursuers. Will they be able to get past all the Nazi road blocks, or will they be caught before they escape to the north and finally become free and reunited with their families?”
Folks,
I usually only posts important messages about my books and events on my website, however Monday’s brick laying ceremony for two of my MOAA member’s passing really brought home the importance of service to this great nation of ours. West and Charlie were great friends of mine and more importantly, American hero’s for serving their country for so many years. Please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices that all of our brave men and women of the Armed Services and First Responders make each and everyday that you are free.
Folks,
Last week we had a great time a Fleet Landing in Mayport, Florida. The audience was wonderful. They were energetic and very nice. The big plus was the auditorium, best one I have been to since I started doing my lectures. See you at the next lecture.
Folks,
I will be in Orlando, Florida @ Caribe Royale on 24 May 2018 from 2:30-4:00 talking about my new book “Breaking from the Enemy” and selling my other book “Feeding the Enemy”. Come on by and chat.

Folks,
What a wonderful time in Melbourne, Florida. My lecture on “The Dos and Don’ts of Advertising your book” was a big hit with all the authors that attended. Meeting all the authors in the area was wonderful. New friends, new ideas and an excellent dinner, it doesn’t get any better than that from a conference. Can’t wait until September to come and do this again. http://www.AuthorsForAuthors.com
I have done more book festivals than I can count on my fingers. This one will be one that I will not soon forget. Everything was Top-Notch!!! From the booths, volunteers, customers and even the beach was perfect.
Folks,
It was pleasure to give my family’s history lecture at the Greenwood High School. The students were so involved with the story that they answered all of my questions without hesitation. They even ask great questions and what a great looking school. Well that is about it, and off to another book festival. Go check out my schedule to see my next appearance. Have a great spring!!
This weekend I was at the Jacksonville Book Festival. Big crowds and a lot of book lovers. This was the second year and this festival is only going to get bigger. See you next year.
Folks, I can’t tell you how much fun I had on Sunday, February 25, 2018. The emotions of this crowd were amazing. In addition to my mother’s story (Feeding the Enemy) , I heard a dozen other actual holocaust survivor stories. All the folks in Sarasota are very pleasant, accomplished, and down to earth. Please visit their website at Bird Key http://www.birdkeyyc.com/ . I would go back tomorrow if they ask me to drive down. Off to next lecture or book festival.
