SAPS, BLACKJACKS AND SLUNGSHOTS: A HISTORY OF FORGOTTEN WEAPONS, THE BOOK tells the story of the most forgotten weapons from history for the first time in history.
2018 Independent Author Network Awards... Finalist Non-Fiction, History. Amazon #1 New Release in 3 categories.
Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Al Capone, William Shakespeare, Jules Verne, Hank Williams and Frank Sinatra are just some of the notable people that are encountered in this wide ranging and previously undiscovered tale. The book was exhaustively researched and is, I am told, quite entertaining.

FYI, videos are on a brief hold as I wrap up my latest book, get signed copies out to Kickstarter backers, etc. Will be in France for a week starting on the 9th so will probably make some random shorts while there but that's about it until I'm back home.

We topped 9,000 subscribers today. Thanks everyone! Notice I don't add the obligatory 'please like, share and subscribe' to my videos (you're welcome). So, I'll take this opportunity to do it... hitting Like, commenting, any interaction really helps the algorithm promote the channel. Thanks again.

If anyone wants a free and (very easy) way to support the channel, just let videos like my newest (Relaxing Anime Music and Visuals) play in the background while you work, read, etc. I'm going to make more, I like doing it, and they're meant to only be background noise anyway, but can really help increase the channel's hours/month metric because each is so long. Thanks.

Well I've been signed up to do a second stint as an expert witness in a case involving weapons! The first gig (for the state of California) led to this one, which will hopefully lead to more in the future. I have to work my tail off in the next few weeks but totally worth it.

For anyone interested, yes I've dropped an initial season of a podcast (Strange Weapons, True Crime). It's actually been on iTunes, Spotify, etc. for a while but I didn't want to pester you all about it. Was more of an experiment. Finally decided I should put it on my channel though since YT is now also a podcasting platform. Thanks.
