At last, 26 Women Is Available

 I am proud to announce that my novel 26 Women is available in hardcopy and digital form.


Follow the life of Richard Harrison from his horny teens, living as a single father to becoming a grandparent. Meet the 26 women who affected him on his way. Maturing early and appearing older in his youth afforded him experiences his peers couldn't have.

The book is available from any source you wish to use. Just tell the librarian, bookstore clerk, or online order form you want to buy 26 Women by Jeffrey Jordan.

The ISBN # for the digital form (Kindle, Nook, or Apple.) is 9780578826868 for the paperback version 9780578826851.

When I moved back to Milwaukee in August of 2019, I began writing this novel. I had the first draft by mid-November. I can't remember the exact visit by the muse that got me to tackle this concept, but I remember I had the title and a list of twenty-six female names before I wrote a word of it.

Since I can't write from an outline. I sat down at my workspace, started writing, and the tale grew into the book I'm offering you.

I ask you to order a copy. It will be printed on-demand, so it might take a week or so. If you enjoy it tell your friends. I humbly suggest it might be a nice gift. If you see fit, you could suggest it for your book club. I would be happy to attend a meeting of your club to discuss the book if there was interest.

One of my latest efforts. Sketch: The Lady Is Blue Gouache 9 X 12 Reporting: I enjoyed a pleasant evening with my friend Michelle Mooney. I took her out for dinner to celebrate her birthday and to thank her for the many first-rate haircuts she's given me. We were surprised at the number of people who dined alfresco in the balmy night air. Whatever we've done to please Mother Nature, she had deemed acceptable by giving us a shot of summer just when late fall weather was wrapping her fingers around our throat. If I have one complaint about the friendly confines of The County Claire, it's the noise level that makes it difficult to converse. The rumble is an acoustical problem with the customers speaking in normal conversational tones. This is without audible TV showing some game or background music selected by a dance DJ.  I know! We should have eaten outside, where the only noise is the occasional 14 bus snorting by.   Maybe It's Me Since my two soccer teams are not doing...

Watching the Oldies

Note: Last week's post was late. There is a reason. Read on.  Classic Film: From Here To Eternity The film opens in Hawaii in 1941. The film stars Bur Lancaster, Mongomery Clift, Deborah Carr and Donna Reed. It is before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The only scene I remember is a scene many people who never watched the entire film have seen. It shows Bert Lancaster and Deborah Carr lying on a sandy beach, kissing as an incoming washed over them. Given the popularity of that scene, it was amazing to me that that iconic image is only seconds long in the film. The story is about the innocence of army personnel with no idea what's coming. Lancaster literally runs the squad while his Captain lets him take charge so he can campaign for his promotion and cheat on his wife.  To make up for the disrespect he has for his commanding officer, Lancaster beds his Captain's officer's wife only to fall in love with her.  Clift's character suffers the humiliation of an offic...

Once A Young Man

 My late friend Jack had a saying that's lost on young people; it sure was lost on me. With his version of a Finnish accent, he'd say, " We are too soon old and too late, smart." I've never heard anybody answer the question about returning and reliving their youth that didn't include the covariate that they would know what they know now. Maturation and accepting the onset of the later years of our life goes a long way to mellowing our passions. Chicago Bear fans are less intimidating, and the members of the opposite sex who are age appropriate are far more appealing than we might have thought in our youth. Yes, I will admit some men still try to relive their youth in ways that defy logic. This facet of two late smart prevents athletes from realizing when their best years are behind them. More men than women seem to delude themselves into believing that members of the opposite sex half their age are suitable mates.  I'm not going to deny that some of us old...
