This will set you up to join the Fishtalk mailing list. Which will have a simple email sent to your Ebox every day with that day's Blog posts. This is not a high volume newsgroup although members are allowed to comment.
Not to fear current members of the Fishtalk Yahoo Group. From the Fishtalk members registered before 7/31/05 a winner will be selected to also win a signed copy of "Attention, Please". Fishtalk Yahoo members don't have to do a thing except send me your address when you win.
It's a thank you for your loyalty through the years back when I was a nobody and sending out "daily musings". Now that I'm still a nobody aren't y'all glad you stuck by me?
Below, a synopsis of the winning book.
======================================================
Manny Roberts had always been a friend and a decent man, as Georgette Robinson considered him. She admired him so much that she had always been his most enthusiastic political campaign supporter all the way up to the most important political position in the land-President of the United States.
Then Georgette caught Manny Roberts molesting a child. And it was only weeks until the presidential election.
Sure she told Manny's political party and she thought Manny would immediately be pulled from his candidacy with such knowledge known about the candidate.
Wrong.
It was too late for the party to recruit another candidate, and Georgette was told that no one would believe her anyway.
Desperate to keep a pervert from becoming President, Georgette investigates other strange instances of Manny Roberts involving children. She discovers a nefarious, but well-hidden, path of payoffs and bribery.
With the presidential election weeks away, Georgette stands alone in her quest to get someone's-anyone's-attention about this matter.
Finally, she gets the attention of all of America, but in a very unorthodox manner that landed her in jail.
In the end, Georgette is destined for greatness. Just as soon as she gets out of jail.
