June 2010 started off on the right path and your purchase donates $4.00 to Susan G. Komen - For the Cure to breast cancer.

If that wasn't exciting enough And Then Some Publishing has a new video series on the way! Last week, Anthony Weaver interviewed 96-year-old Edgar E. Willis who is the retired Emeritus Professor of Communication at the University of Michigan. We discuss his World War II memoir, Civilian in an Ill-fitting Uniform. This interview is a four part series discussing his time before, during, and after the war. In Part 1 of the interview I ask Edgar about his inspiration for the book, the reason for the title, and why he decided to include his life before and after his service.

You will really enjoy this video series and including Edgar reading from his book in Part 2!

And Then Some Publishing will be releasing Part 1 of the interview by the end of this week and will devote an extra And Then Some News post, including the video as soon as it's released.
