A special announcement.
Dear Readers,
Sorry for the delay in announcing this.
Just a quick note to let you know that I now have four more books in paperback. The digital versions will be available at a later date. One will most likely be released in an eBook form (in addition to the paperback form) by the end of the month), with the other three (as well as two released in late 2020) released in ebook form by late 2021 or early 2022.
This now makes ten books published through Amazon KDP in two years, and I am grateful for their support and their graciousness in answering questions I've had, even serving as a soundboard of sorts for crazy ideas I've had.
I've told friends and family over the journey to four more books (released in an 18-hour span over June 1-2, 2021) that I may never have another chance to do this many books at once.
Windows open and close. And no one knows when windows open and close.
When opportunities arise, take them.
List follows below.
Thanks, as always, for your support.

Title: How to Read Oil History If You're an Average Joe: or, E. K. Warren and Son (Three Oaks, Michigan) and Oil in Three Western States
Oil history =/= jargon-heavy
Oil history =/= too technical
Oil history =/= only for those who work in the oil industry
Title: The World's First Petroleum History Coffee-Table Book: or, The Overlooked Legacy of J. P. Morris of Texas: Petro-Cowman, Silver Mine Investor, and Wildlife Preservationist
What do West Texas petroleum, Mexican silver mining, and American wildlife preservation have in common?
Title: Unknown Quantity: Vincent Charles Perini Jr.'s Role in Oil and Uranium in the American West, 1953-58
Vincent Charles Perini, Jr (1895-1965) was an established oilman in West-Central Texas by the early 1950s. How did he fare when he tried his hand at uranium mining? What can we learn about this misunderstood mineral and national defense after World War II?
Titlo: Local Roots, Global Prospects: Robert E. Underwood, George P. Livermore, and the Growth of American Petroleum Around the World After World War II
At a time when foreign oil is a controversial topic, how did we grow dependent on oil produced outside of the USA? How did two West Texas oilmen help shape foreign oil drilling?

Important announcement.
I will not be doing any media interviews, nor reaching out to media outlets for story ideas, until further notice.
Thanks for your understanding.

A reminder...
2020 has been an unprecedented year. One that we haven't seen in a long time.
From business shutdowns to this year's elections, this year has seen a lot of challenges.
What do Americans want from government?
Here's a different take on the question...
What did the American oil industry, especially Texas oil producers, want from government...
...namely state and local officials...
...while America and its allies sought to defeat Germany, Italy, and Japan...
...during World War II?
Even amid the pandemic, America nonetheless did the right thing in paying tribute to those who helped win the war...
75 years ago this month.
Explore what American oil producers wanted from government...
in Fueling Victory at Home.
It's been almost a year since I released the book.
It's not too late to rediscover Fueling Victory at Home.
It's not too late to preserve our history...
...even as some want to destroy it.
Fueling Victory at Home.
