Hi everyone.
I’ve been swamped with all kinds of projects lately, so I apologize for neglecting the Daly Grind newsletter for a few months. And today (I’m sorry to say), I’m just popping my head through the door to let you all know about some upcoming events I’ll be part of later this month… and also to spread some news about one of the aforementioned projects.
Upcoming Events
What Lies Beneath: The Underground Silo Behind the Story
This Saturday (July 12, noon-1pm), I’ll be at the Greeley History Museum in Downtown Greeley, Colorado for an afternoon of storytelling.
I wrote back in February about the museum’s new exhibit, “13-Minute Warning: Weld County in the Atomic Age.” The exhibit includes detailed photos of a local Cold War era missile site that were taken while I was researching my award-winning book, “Safeguard.” The real-life facility (and surrounding area) was the setting for that novel.
I’ll be giving an hour long presentation on my personal connection to the site, and will talk about some real stories that inspired plot-lines in the novel. I’ll also be signing copies of “Safeguard.”
The event is free, but you do have to reserve a spot ahead of time, which you can do here. Also, here’s a little write-up of the event in the local newspaper.
Principles First: Denver Signature Dinner Series
Though it hasn’t been officially announced yet, I’ll be a panelist speaker at the Principles First Signature Dinner Series (July 31, 6pm-8:30pm) in Denver, Colorado.
This is a political event, and the details are still being ironed out, but you can check back here for developments, and I’ll certainly update you all once I know more.
The topic of discussion will be: Freedom of Speech, Authoritarianism, and Our Institutions.
Projects
The Reagan Caucus Podcast
Since May, in addition to the Daly Express and Bernie Goldberg’s No BS Zone podcasts, I’ve been co-hosting the Reagan Caucus Podcast with Thomas D. Howes.
It’s a weekly, educational podcast about Reaganite policy and statesmanship, civic education, and American constitutionalism. It’s hosted by Reagan Caucus Action. Thomas and I have had on some amazing guests on for smart, insightful discussions.
If that sounds interesting to you, please follow us on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
Our most recent episode was a special Fourth of July interview with the Washington Examiner’s Kimberly Ross (which was a lot of fun).
I’ve also been doing some video work, and will soon be writing regular columns for, the Reagan Caucus PAC, and affiliated organization.
Obligatory Dog Shot
“Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?”
Catch Up on the Sean Coleman Thrillers
All of my Sean Coleman Thriller novels can be purchased through Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Books-A-Million, and wherever else books are sold.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading today’s Daly Grind.
