Happy Birthday to Jack Kerouac (and a free book giveaway) UPDATED



In honor of Jack Kerouac's birthday today, March 12, we are featuring another free book giveaway. Be the first person to send an e-mail to thebeathandbook@gmail.com with the subject line FREE BOOK and your snail mail address in the body of the e-mail and . . . you win a free signed copy of my book, The Beat Handbook: 100 Days of Kerouactions. I will not be considering comments to this post as entries in the free giveway -- only e-mails to the above e-mail address will be in the running. Let's see who's paying attention.

*******NOTE: As of 10:40 AM on 3-12-19, we have a winner. Fastest in history.*******

Jack would have been 97 years old today. I wish someone with the skill and the software would take a youthful picture like the above and age it so we could see what Jack may have looked like as an older man. Maybe not 97 -- I'd take 65 as an interesting age.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Jack Kerouac, my literary hero and writing muse.
