Bob the Bear Likes to Run is about a bear. Named Bob. Who likes to run. This children's picture book was illustrated by my twin brother, John T. Lynch, and we're pleased to offer this on sale currently as an eBook (paperback in the works) at Amazon, Barnes&Noble, and several other online shops. Bob the Bear loves to run, but when his friend enters him in a race, Bob faces a bewildering world of competition. When he trips on his shoelace and falls, he is more worried about disappointing his friend than losing the race. Both friends learn in this warm and gentle story that winning isn’t everything and there’s always a next time to try again.

Classic Films and the American Conscience is now available at Amazon. This ebook is a collection of essays on classic films taken from my blog, "Another Old Movie Blog", which has just marked its fifth anniversary. The book is over 300,000 words, with sections on individuals (like Boris Karloff as Peter Pan on Broadway and on a float in the 1950 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade), on special topics (like Depression Glass), on genres, on the history of the world as Hollywood saw it. The book's opening chapters cover the "series" topics which are among my favorite on the blog, where I match up two or three, or four films and discuss what is alike about them or what together they tell about the subject which unites them.
