John Robinson you are a fan of books. Am I read about that? I sure am I read about that? I sure am. I do know how to read. You do know how to read and I think a lot of our listeners out there would also enjoy the practice of reading as well.

Well you guys are in luck. The sponsor for this week's episode is Arjuna Books, which is proud to present

two works to you today, Mink Eyes and Tenabray by Max McBride. I'm just going to read a little bit from the plot summary of Mink Eyes here.

It's October of 1986 and

private detective Peter O'Keefe physically scarred and emotionally battered Vietnam

vet is hired by his childhood best friend to investigate what appears on the surface to be merely a

Rinky-Dink Mink Farm Ponzi scam. Say that five times fast, but instead O'Keefe finds himself

snared in a vicious web of money laundering, cocaine smuggling, and murder.

So that's from the plot summary of Mink-Eyes.

And Maxick Bry, the author, Mink-Eyes, is a double threat in the literary world because on offer we have you know this

noir make eyes but then also a volume of poetry called Tennebrey which you don't

find a lot of poets who write novels or vice versa but that is the

upshot of this following of poetry because it's sort of being touted as

poetry for people who don't usually like poetry. The prose is very plain, it's very direct into the heart.

And so sort of, if you have like a block around poetry, if you get too flowery or remote, you can't really

get into it. Tenebraib and Max McBride is the antithesis of that. It's just really direct,

emotional, honest verse and that is also available.

So I mean, a lot of you out there are thinking to yourself I can't commit to buying a book.

Well fortunately you have a chance to read a sample and then order both of these.
