Tim Browne: Birch Clump Village Reader 7

Just released: My latest in a series of readers. Each book contains short stories (mostly fiction), some poetry, and plenty of illustrations.
Tim Browne is an ordinary fellow from a white working class family, Christian. However, a rumor that he might be Jewish makes him the target of bigoted bullies in school and again as a young adult. He suddenly learns how the threat of violence constantly follows young minority men. His upbringing did not prepare him for what was ahead.

Publishing Status as of January 29, 2017:

Proofs are expected to arrive Monday, the 30th of January. It will be about a week before my editor and I can review the finished product. If all is well, I will then press the approval button and the book is available instantly on Lulu.com, and will begin showing up on other major book seller's sites such as Amazon and Barnes and Nobles.

Paper Back and E-book options:

My books always come out as paper back first. I begin preparing an e-book version soon after.

Imagine:

The parents answer the phone late at night, or in the early dawn hour. Their son (or daughter) has been arrested. Another young man or woman is in the emergency room, severely injured by their child. It was a rash act of racial or religious hate violence. Money for a lawyer swiftly drains the college fund.
Several more charges are pending. Should the victim die, murder could be added to those charges.
Their child was a good child. How did this happen?
The talk of religious and racial hate is all around us. Perhaps in the home, just small things, maybe. Certainly it is heard in public, in schools, on the street, among friends, neighbors or relatives, in the schools and even in Churches and other places of worship. Even in a home that does not promote racism or religious biases, any apathy might have been taken as approval.
And lets not ignore the victims and their families. Tim Browne is one such victim.
