'What Say I' & 'The Long Crossing' now available as E-Books
My two collected works span 50 years of writing social commentary & personal reflections
I recently published a new book What Say I that contains 60 articles—most of which were written during the past 10 years (2015-2024). I’ve put information on this web site detailing how a copy can be purchased. The order form can be found at fowlervillenewsandviews.com
With a desire to reach a wider audience and offer readers a more affordable price, the book can be sent to you as an E-Book in a PDF format, meaning I will send it to your email address and you can read it on your computer screen and/or run if off on your printer and read it that way.
I’m also offering my earlier book The Long Crossing as an E-Book. This collection has 51 writings, dating from 1975 (my first appearance as a newspaperman) to 2014.
Cost is $8 each or $15 for both if purchased in this online format.
We’ll do it on the honor system. Send me your name and email address and whether you want both books, or What Say I, or The Long Crossing. I’ll email you the order. My email is hortonnotebook@gmail.com
You can then mail a check or money order (payable: Steve Horton) to:
Steve Horton, PO Box 937, Fowlerville MI 48836
Or call 517-223-8760 and pay with a credit card.
If you decide you want a print copy, I’ll credit your payment towards that cost.
By way of background, the photo of ‘yours truly’ next to my first book was taken in the press box of the Pontiac Silverdome during a Detroit Lions preseason game when I was working for the ‘Livingston County Press’ in the late 1970s. The staff photographer John Galloway and I had been sent there to cover the Howell High School Marching Band’s performance during the halftime. John did most of the heavy lifting by going down to the field and taking pictures. I covered the event from the press box where we working scribes could enjoy the free food and refreshments. I wrote about the experience in a newspaper column, and it’s one of the writings included in The Long Crossing.
