THE BOOK REVIEW: "More Selected Salvos from the Loose Cannon Libertarian"

"Selected Salvos 2 is the second Fun&Freedom Book by Garry Reed, the self-proclaimed Loose Cannon Libertarian. One reviewer said his writing bordered on H.L. Mencken and Groucho Marx. My opinion is that it's more akin to an edgy and irreverent hybridization of Harry Browne and P.J. O'Rourke." – Brian Irving, Raleigh Libertarian Examiner

Brian Irving writes as the Raleigh Libertarian Examiner, is a freelance journalist, a libertarian activist and a member of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina Executive Committee.

While other reviewers have used a book cover or the author's photo to adorn their reviews Brian illustrated his Examiner critique with the vid cover and link to the Selected Salvos Volley 2 YouTube video, my Book Promo trailer. Which is great since it was so much fun to make and so few people have seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYFWQ...

The quote above is his opening salvo in Brian's Examiner article, "More Selected Salvos from the Loose Cannon Libertarian" in which he graciously awards my efforts 4 out of 5 stars.

He also mentions my first Selected Salvos book which he accurately identifies as an anthology of "essays, opinion pieces, rantings and assorted writings."

THE INTERVIEW: "Interview with Garry Reed"

Still playing catchup with reviews and interviews. This interview was conducted by Book Blogs member and Goodreads Creative Writer, Poet, Author, Interviewer, Journalist and Epistemologist Justin Bienvenue. It's a ten question query that gets a bit deeper into the nits and grits of writing libertarianism in a humorous style without losing the seriosity of the subject matter.

Here's the opening Q&A:

1. What can you tell us about your novel, Selected Salvos 2 from the Loose Cannon Libertarian?
It's not a novel, it's a very small nonfiction collection of journalistic articles I wrote back when I was writing as a "libertarian humorist" in a style I called "Fun&Freedom" where freedom is always the message but fun is always the method. I had realized that nearly everything I had been reading about libertarianism was deadly serious so I set out to change that. These 20 short articles (approx. 750 words each) first appeared on my own website "The Loose Cannon Libertarian" In 2002 and 2003.
