It's Killing Time in the Villages
 
In my life I never laughed so hard at a book as I did when reading the wacky murder-mystery "It's Killing Time in the Villages". This is an absolute must-read. They have it at Barnes and Noble.

The book must be a mystery . . .
 
Out of curiosity, searched Amazon: it didn't show up. Tried to google it, again, no luck.
Are you sure the title is correct? Maybe list the author . . .

Tom Levine? The crazy guy who ran for Mayor Orlando?

The guy who's a supposed "author", who does his own book printing in his living room and tries to sell them at local markets?

Don't bother searching the Internet or B&N's website for this "book", you won't find it.

The only mentions of this book on the entire internet, seems to be the OP's very first post on TOTV and on Tom Levine's Facebook page.

The only hit I got was his Facebook entry.
Definitely not short of self-promotion.
He's probably the OP as well!

If I can't buy it on the Kindle, I won't read it.

Rules here include:
You may post a personal recommendation or experiences that you have personally had the first hand but you cannot self promote your business or any commercial entity that you have any association with. Any posts that violate this guideline will be removed. Recommendations are more credible when you are an active participant on the site with at least 10 posts. For this reason please do not post a recommendation or experience with less than 10 posts as these may be removed.

Given that this is the OP's first post, this recommendation is ripe for removal. And I agree it smacks of self-promotion. If you want to promote your book here you can contact the website owner and become a paid sponsor. They would appreciate your business.

If there's any question who the OP is, perhaps you should take a look at his Screen Name, then view: Tom Levine fishes for readers by telling tall tales | West Orange Times & Observer

See this news report about tom levine, self published author who is an avid fisherman. And note the screen name used by the OP

Tom Levine fishes for readers by telling tall tales | West Orange Times & Observer

There are lots of interesting news stories about Tom, his run for mayor where he took no donations, then city council. His quixotic anti-development positions even suggesting city hall close on hot days to save electricity. If his sense of humor in his politics is mirrored in his book it might be funny. Ok Tom, now send me a free copy.

Interesting that someones first and only post in this forum is to promote a book.

Taltarzac725 10-05-2024 10:32 AM

Boy do I have a book to sell--not really.

manaboutown 10-05-2024 01:57 PM

I'd make book the OP is the book's author. Book 'im, Danno!

We have some mighty smart Villagers. Excellent catch Agent '99' and 'Blue'.

Not on Amazon even though Amazon does carry some “vanity” publications.
