My daughter, Erin, just finished recording the audiobook for my Memories of the Great Depression: A Time Remembered. The contract is signed and the cover is ready. Next step is to submit to Audible/ACX for their approval (which she has previously obtained for my two prior books). Hopefully, it will be available in the next few weeks or so.

My Interview with Don Wooten and Rebecca Wee should air on WVIK-FK at noon on Saturday, May 13, 2023. I very much enjoyed doing the interview. It was fun. I appreciate Don and Rebecca having me as a guest.
I did a radio interview with Don Wooten and Rebecca Wee on WVIK-FM this afternoon, to publicize "Memories of the Great Depression: A Time Remembered." Should air in near future. I will advise when.
I am nearing completion of my third volume of "Memories of the Great Depression." I still need about 6 more stores. I expect that this will be my last book of "Memories of the Great Depression." To have memories, the story teller needs to be at least 93 years old. Sadly, people of that age and older are quickly passing from the scene.
If you have a story, please contact me. My daughter, Erin, who is a professional actress by trade, is presently working to record/create the audiobook version of Memories of the Great Depression: A Time Remembered.
Erin created the audiobook for The Stuffed Animal, and we collaborated to create the audiobook for Memories of the Great Depression: a Time Forgotten. I have finished two very different books. Now the hard part — finding a publisher!
My first new book is a children's Christmas adventure, which I call The Christmas Reindeer. The second is a book which I call, The Evolution of the Criminal Jury Trial — from Moses to our Bill of Rights. As the name implies, it discusses how the jury came to be used to decide guilt or innocence in criminal cases, and the procedures that have developed around criminal jury trials to ensure outcomes fair to both the prosecution and defense. I am also nearing completion of a third book — a Catholic devotional book. It will be my version of the "scriptural stations of the cross." "The Stations of the Cross" are a traditional Catholic Lenten devotion. But the "traditional stations" have been modernized by Pope John Paul II, so that each stations has a clear scriptural basis. In the older "traditional" stations of the cross, five or six of the stations rest on "tradition," rather than on the Gospel accounts. In Pope John Paul II's "scriptural stations," all 14 stations are firmly grounded in the four Gospels. I expect to finish my book this week, and to begin "shopping it" with the publishers. Well, now my new book, "Memories of the Great Depression: A Time Remembered," is properly posted on Amazon under "John Donald O'Shea," ... but they've deleted the posing under "John O'Shea." They tell me the "algorithm" did it! ... which gives me an idea. Next time I play a lousy game of golf, I'm going to blame the algorithm!
If you look under "John Donald O'Shea" it is not grouped with my first two books, but if you scroll down about 10 books, voila! I still like the option of ordering DIRECTLY from the publisher, CROSSLINK PUBLISHING: here's the link: https://crosslinkpublishing.com/shop/memories-of-the-great-depression-vol-ii/ My new book, “Memories of the Great Depression: a Time Remembered” is now available on Amazon.com
To find it, you will have to type in the Amazon search bar, “John O’Shea” or the name of the book. It should, of course, be posted under “John Donald O’Shea,” with my first two books. But I have solemn assurances from the publisher that the correction will be made. |
