Book Give-away - My Book, So It's My Rules



Last night, I was at my local grocery store.  One of the clerks was telling me how much she is enjoying my latest book, "Beyond the Law".

She said she wasn't going to let her father read it until she was done with it.  However, she isn't going to be done with it because she never wants the book to end.

No kidding.  This happened.

Well, her father is on dialysis and I need every reader I can get to.  So, I autographed an additional copy and gave it to her.

So here's the point, if for some reason you are reading this, maybe you would like a copy of "Beyond the Law" for yourself.

Just send me an e-mail at fmkahren@gmail.com.  Include your mailing address.  Here are the rules:

1) There will be no more than 3 winners.  One inside the state of California, One inside the U.S. but outside of California, and one outside of the United States but in a country that gets service from Federal Express International.

2)  I will have the Federal Express shipping slip that proves that I sent the book to the address you gave me.  If you don't actually get it for some reason, that's not my fault.  I will not be mailing book after book to the same address.

3)  I warrant nothing and nothing is binding.  I want to have a little fun and send out a few books.  That's it.  No drama.  No B.S.

So, what do you think?

U.S. Supreme Court forces Argentina into Default


It turns out that the Supreme Court of the United States does not rule over the sovereign nation of Argentina.

A couple of weeks ago, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the nation of Argentina had to pay a huge amount to a small, privileged group of American vulture capitalists who bought defunct bonds for practically nothing.

This made it impossible for Argentina to arrive at a settlement with the vast majority of the other bondholders.

Two points:

1) There was no reason for the US Supreme Court to hear this case in the first place.  The court declines to hear cases all the time.  This was a big favor to a few political cronies.

2) Argentina is an actual sovereign nation.  I checked.  The Argentines don't work for us.  If the full power of the US Government is going to force Argentina to do something, I want them to get me an apartment in Recoleta, a table at a tango show, and a nice big steak with a bottle of Mendoza red.

Argentina's 2014 bond default was created by the United States government. That's a fact.

I wonder if the bigger picture here is what happens in world opinion.  Other nations must have noticed by now that the United States bullies its allies and steals from foreign criminal banks while protecting US criminal bankers.  Aren't these nations going to work to isolate the United States in order to curb this never-ending drive for world domination?

Just wondering.

New Review for Brand Loyalty - Thank You, Pricilla Benton

Even though people enjoy them, it is a rare thing for someone to take the time to review both books.  I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this when it happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humor and mystery well doneJuly 29, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brand Loyalty (Matt Rommel Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
This was a great book that I felt had a bit of everything in it. I'd recommend it to a wide audience because it's part mystery, thriller and adventure with a very satisfying conclusion. The characters are well-written and of course Matt Rommel's distinctive voice makes each page a pleasure to read. The book has a unique humor in it that balances perfectly with the dire situation that is created around Carolyn and her daughter. I would recommend this author and this book series.

Latest Review for Beyond the Law - Thank You Pricilla Benton




5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series with larger than life characters July 26, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
This is a well-written book that kept me turning the page. One great feature of the book is the dark and sarcastic dialogue. Right up until the last page you just never know what's going to come out of Matt Rommel's mouth. All of the characters were created well, realistic but with a larger-than-life quality.

This book was a pleasure to read and anyone who likes military stories will love this book. Author F.M. Kahren is a talented writer and this is a great series that I'd recommend.
