Don't miss Jack Shakely's tongue-in-cheek op-ed in the LA Times, "Skype makes monsters of us all." It's an excellent humorous look at "face-to-face" vs telephone communication. (NY Times is copyrighted and the link can't be included here, however your favorite search engine will locate it.)
Shakely is the author of Confederate War Bonnet. Published in 2008 by iUniverse, it became a 'publisher's choice', and was featured in selected Barnes and Noble bookstores for two months, and Gold Medal winner, 2009 Independent Publishers Book of the Year Award in historical/military fiction.
In 2011, Shakely's memoir, Indian Me won honorable mention in the Writer's Digest 80th annual Writing Competition memoir/personal essay category.
His book reviews also appear regularly in many publications, such as ForeWord Review Magazine and The Internet Review of Books.
