This is Kamm Weiland and you are listening to the 13th episode of the Word Play

podcast.

The book trailer for Behold the Don was released Friday to

overwhelming applause. I was very excited and very humble at its reception.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment. If you'd like to view it, you can find it on my blog at wordplay-K-M-Y-L-N-D dot blog spot

dot com or by visiting YouTube and searching Behold the Dawn trailer.

This week also saw the completion of copy edits for behold.

The first proof should be in my hands in a few weeks.

After the bustle of this summer, I finally find myself able to breathe a little easier.

The project is almost at its end. The book is almost published.

Not many feelings in the world to match this one.

The winning Wednesday prize drawing for the Behold the Dawn T-shirt remains open until Tuesday, September 2nd at 6 o'clock PM Mountain Standard time.

To enter, answer this week's question, the Crusaders shorten the name of their opponent, the famed

Turkish Sultan, to Saladin. What was his full name?
