I am pleased to able to announce to you that Keith LaMar (Bomani)'s revised--and greatly expanded--version of Condemned is
finished! I've been holding on to your email address for all these
months. The process took a bit longer than we originally
anticipated; he painstakingly and completely rewrote the book, putting
his heart into telling all of his story. It's powerful! This is Bomani's
appeal to the court of public opinion--the court he hopes will help him
find justice--so please help spread the
word!
There are a few ways you can get the book and I will include links here for you:
1. We are doing a fundraiser to help Bomani raise enough money to
purchase books to get the word out to various journalists and radio
personalities. Because he is unable to earn money, it's impossible for
him to accomplish this without our help. You can
order your book through this link for $20, which will get YOU the book
at its publishing cost, with the remainder of your donation going into
the fund. We are running the fundraiser on indigogo through the end of February and
this is the most helpful way for you to order
the book. You are invited to donate more or less as you are able!
2. You can order the book online at https://www.createspace.com/4221718. The cost is $14.99 plus tax and shipping/handling.
Createspace gives us a few dollars back in royalty that Amazon does
not. This helps Bomani to spread the word to journalists and reporters
by supplying them a book with a letter.
3. You can also order the book online at Amazon for $13.21 plus tax and S&H/ at this link:
4. If you are willing/able to sell books for Bomani to help
spread the word, we can send you a bulk order for $10 a piece (this
includes the shipping). You are free to sell them (in a bookstore, for
example, or privately) for $10 or up to the sticker
price of $14.99. If you have the means to pre-pay for a bulk-order,
that is helpful, but if you cannot, we understand and can arrange to get
you some books. You can collect and turn in the $10 per book to one of
the organizers--we'll make arrangements for
that. Contact Amy at argordiejew@ysu.edu or Ben at insurgent.ben@gmail.com to make that happen.
5. Lastly, we are working on plans for a few book launch events
around Ohio for the month of March. We'll invite you to these once the
plans are more solid--and at these events, books will be sold for $10.
Thank you so much for your interest in Keith/Bomani. He needs our
help to spread the word and is grateful for any effort you can give to
the cause.
In solidarity,
