Dear Subscriber
Aside from the fact that the following is a shameless promotion of
my book by my wife, it's also an accurate description of what has
already happened in a few cases, according to reports I've been
receiving. Does it still count as bragging if it's true? Probably,
but I don't care. - Larken
- -------------< beginning of shameless promotion >-------------
Kicking the Dragon (Confessions of a Tax Heretic):
You’ve just ripped the wrapper off Larken’s new book. It’s a
pretty hefty book. A little intimidating, actually. You’re afraid
it will have lots of legal stuff in it that you won’t understand.
You turn it over and read the back. You leaf through and notice
that a big chunk of it is Appendices. OK, so it’s not so huge.
It’s easy on the eyes; it’s not an Atlas Shrugged. So you turn to
the first page, and Larken starts talking. It just sounds like
good old Larken Rose telling you a story. And before you know it,
the story grabs you and carries you away. You thought you knew
this story already, but each page brings something you hadn’t
heard. You want to get to the trial. You want to get to the
closing arguments.
Now it’s 2:00 in the morning, and you still haven’t put the book
down. You decide you’ll take it to bed and just glance at the next
chapter before you go to sleep. Four hours later, you think:
Damn. That was awesome. And then you think: Damn. I got no
sleep. I have to get ready for work. And then you think, Before I
get in the shower, I’ll just go and order a case so I can give this
book to all my friends.
Happy Reading from Tessa Rose
