LIES AND PERCEPTION


JUST RELEASED BY ATTMPRESS, LIES AND PERCEPTION Authored by John Hayden

SEX, MONEY & POWER...just ways to keep score in the Garbage Game, a Bloodsport where LIES are expected, cheating is routine, and violence is a matter of PERCEPTION.
Gordon Palmer operates a huge landfill. Illegal is OK: Cash only. Jim Stevens, environmental inspector, discovers lethal waste, and stumbles between right and wrong.
Southern States Garbage is minting money. A teenage girl is only one of their victims.
Governor Clifford Elias needs to maintain his environmentalist image.
Bobby Kuchefski is County Leader of Holt County. He wants to be Governor.
Daniel Snyder builds incinerators. Alliances with the devil do not concern him.
Monsignor Robert Szathmary thinks he knows the risks that accompany his environmental terrorism.
Monika Frantangelis is heir apparent to a paper recycling empire. Beautiful and wealthy is not enough.
Attorney Phillip Spazutta is Guru of Garbage. Spazutta has unwritten rules...not found in law books.
Curtis 'Weasel' Weiss wants to win a Pulitzer...a little too much.

About the author:
John Hayden spent his career in the engineering and construction businesses, advising politicians and high ranking officials across the USA, Europe, and the Middle East. Having worked jobs on both ends of the spectrum, from equipment operator and laborer to executive and CEO, he has met the best and worst of people; often they've been involved in a stew of corruption and crime. It is such characters that populate the universe of his novels.
John admires mysteries and thrillers driven by characters readers can recognize as real, and frequently flawed. His own books reflect such lives, intervened upon by unexpected disasters. Lies and Perception, John's second novel, examines how the best and worst among us can be warped; particularly in the Garbage Game where bad things happen, usually as a result of greed, jealousy, lust, anger or fear-and sometimes all of the above.
John earned a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He is married with three adult children. A lifetime New Englander, John and his wife Janet, along with Fergus the Red Setter, now split their time between Cape Cod and the Palm Beaches.

THIS IS THE LATEST BLOG FROM MARVIN WILSON AND WE COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER. READ THE POST AND VISIT HIS BLOG-AFTER ALL, HE IS THE COOLEST MAN ON THE PLANET!

Between the Storm and the Rainbow is Here!

Bookmark and Share
That's right. Now available, published by All Things That Matter Press (ATTMP), is the "Best of Free Spirit Blog posts" anthology, titled, Between the Storm and the Rainbow.

The old silly is geeked. Last summer, when I was contacted by ATTMP to not only be an editor on their staff but also to submit a book of Free Spirit posts for publication, I was like, Wow! - now isn't that cool! One year ago, Free Spirit was languishing about in the Blue Nowhere purgatory of obscurity. Today, it is an internationally acclaimed award-winning blog with a book out!

Woo Hoo!

The book features the best posts in all categories that fall under this blog's mission statement. Included also are the more memorable comments left by you - all of you wonderful friends, family, colleagues, associates, and also those who just drop in on occasion out of curiosity of what neurosis might plague the old silly on any given day. So if you read Free Spirit and leave comments now and then, guess what - you just might be in print!

Between the Storm and the Rainbow is available in paperback, ebook, and Kindle. To make it easy peasy for ya to get one, the cover image in the right sidebar is hyperlinked - just click on it and you will fly off to where it can be purchased at Create Space dot Com (my first choice - this is the publisher's selling site. That's where, if you buy, yours truly gets the highest royalty - hey - gotta make a buck ya know? Any day now you will also see it available on www.Amazon.com - Kindle book lovers will want to use Amazon fo sho.

Want to read the really cool blurb about this? Click Here.

Okay, now here's the kicker. I'm doing a launch promo. Are you listening?

The first three people who purchase a paperback copy of Between the Storm and the Rainbow and who email me (marvwilson2010@gmail dot com) a confirmation of the purchase with their invoice/sales slip from Create Space or Amazon, will receive a FREE signed copy of their choice of one of my two previously published books, I Romanced the Stone or Owen Fiddler.

So there you have it. Free Spirit has morphed from cyberspace into paper-printed-space and will be available to read for centuries to come - even if it's after the internet somehow crashes and survivors of a dark-ages-plummeting global cataclysm stumble upon a molded old print copy somewhere in a cave. Keep the Free Spirit alive!
