I'm offering a discount to anyone who orders my new book, "Heroes, Sheroes and Zeroes ~ The Best Writings About People," by Don Williams. It's now in my hands from New Millennium Writings book publishers. Although it retails for $20, I'm offering a discount for an autographed copy to readers of my column who reserve one within the next thirty days by sending $17 (that includes handling and shipping for a $5 saving) or $30 for two autographed copies, $40 for three or $50 for four copies.

To purchase online, select the number of copies that you would like:

If you would rather not order online, you can send your order payable to 'NMW' to:

Heroes
PO Box 2463
Knoxville, TN, 37901.

You will receive the book of prize-winning stories, columns, profiles, fiction and essays within two weeks of ordering. I believe you'll find the wait worth it. The book is only partly political. It's also about humor, hope, love, adventure, family, faith, celebrities and the incredible people I've come to know in a quarter century of reporting and writing. If you don't like it, send it back for a refund. But I think you will. Helen Thomas emailed to say, "Your column's better than mine." Not true, but I'll take the compliment.

All my best,
Don Williams

"You write a great column. I wish you were at the White House to ask the tough questions that are not being asked."
— Syndicated Columnist Helen Thomas
in a note to the author
"Not only is this the best feature of the contest, it's the best I've read in years—a haunting, poetic tale. Don Williams has obviously experienced a great deal while researching and writing 'Sojouners.' He constructs the story beautifully—and unconventionally—and has a fine ear for language. Frankly, I've never read anything like this in a newspaper of any size. Bravo! Bonquets to all."
—Judges of the Tennessee Associated Press
