Dear Reader:
We feel compelled to point out, in the best interests of the Reading Public, that Your New Favorite Author’s complete works are still available at their original cover prices:
The Price of Passage—$26.95 hardcover/$18.95 paperback
Izzy Strikes Gold!—$19.95 hardcover/$14.95 paperback
In accordance with their ever-increasing value as actual, non-AI books written by a Living American Author whom you know, we were going to raise the prices by at least five dollars per book. However, we ran into the cruel ironies of the Third Book Business.
If we were McGraw-Hill, or Grosset & Dunlap, or one of the other titans of the old book industry of the last century, raising the price would be a no-brainer. The next time we did a print run of, say, 50,000 more copies, we’d naturally print a higher price on the covers. But in today’s book industry, books are printed one by one. That means we can change the cover any time we want, only we have to pay a special set-up charge any time we alter the image stored in the printer’s computer.
Forget it.
The only reason we mention this is because it means you can still buy these books at the same low price.
If you already own a copy of The Price of Passage and one of Izzy Strikes Gold!, thank you very much for your patronage. But if you have not yet purchased either or both of these books, what are you waiting for?
Here’s what you’ve been missing:

The Price of Passage: From Norway to America, From Slavery to Freedom
1853: Scandinavian immigrants ANDERS and MARIA meet DANIEL, a young slave fleeing brutal captivity. Will they do their legal duty by turning him in, or defy the laws of their new homeland and risk everything to help him gain freedom?
It’s an epic tale of America’s heartland, based on the author’s own Norwegian ancestors.

1957: Inquisitive 12-year-old IZZY squirms through a small-town childhood, helped and/or hindered by friends such as bombastic Andy Shore, bullying Lyle Haycock, bewitching Irma Ruger, and bewildering Mutt-mutt Corner.
Rooted in the author’s own 1950s boyhood, it’s a warm-hearted coming-of-age tale, suitable for young readers and their grandparents.
Includes discussion questions and a glossary of 1950s terms.

Both books are certified by the Authors Guild to be free of artificial intelligence (AI) content.
That means, if you should happen to find any intelligence between the covers, you know who put it there.
