Poe Ballantine books are now on Kindle! [View all]

I am very happy about this! I was going to order hard copies of his books, but now that he’s put some of them on Kindle, I can skip the wait on those.

One of the books that Poe, who lives in Chadron Nebraska, wrote is Love & Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere. The book is now on Kindle. It focuses on the 2006 death of Chadron State College math professor Steven Haataja, whose body was found 95 days after his disappearance bound to a tree out in the boonies and burned. A documentary based on the book is set for release in the spring. (Documentary Introduction video: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/175630062/love-and-terror-the-documentary )

Right now on Kindle I’m reading Poe’s Things I Like About America. It’s stunning. I’ve never before been so drawn into a book that I forgot to swallow till it dawned on me I was drooling.

What a gutsy, magnificent writer!
