Tate Publishing in Oklahoma City, Okla., has announced the release of “When Evil Prospers,” by author John Washbum.

The book is a political thriller revolving around a terrorist attack in Texas and the state’s reaction when the president in office refuses to form a plan for retaliation and/or prevention.

The book has received glowing reviews, and the author will soon begin a book signing tour throughout the state with radio and television interviews featuring the book.

“We are pleased to offer this new exciting Christian fiction novel and consider it to be an important book in defense of democracy and the values and faith that shaped our nation — values that need to be embraced again,” said Rita Tate, marketing director for Tate Publishing. “It is a page-turner from beginning to end, and most compelling of all, it could happen.

Washburn grew up in Richardson, Texas, and later in Raymond.

He attended medical school at University of Mississippi Medical School.

He calls himself a “traditional nationalist” — a true patriot who claims no allegiance to a political party, only to America, first and always.

His wife and daughter are top priorities and he is enjoying his newfound passion for writing.

The book is available for ordering in any bookstore and also on many web sites including amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and walmart.com.

The book is also available and featured at tatepublishing.com.

The Shop on the Corner in Philadelphia will host Washburn for a book signing at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 8, and Lemuria Books in Jackson will host him at 1 p.m. Sept. 9.

The public is invited to meet the author and enjoy these special events.

Arbor Day
I cannot recall a time when trees were not a part of my life. During WWII while our father was away in Panama City building ships, we moved a mile north of our farm and lived in the teacher's home on the campus of the Gitano Grammar School. In that setting I formed my first memories of trees.

Travel Technology
After leaving the Trapani Salt Flats on the western coast of Sicily on a late November afternoon, I maneuvered our vehicle down yet another remote, unmarked dirt road and passed dozens of vacant houses. No one was on the streets. It had been 10 minutes since we had seen another car. Sunlight was at a minimum. We had been warned several times about remote areas of Sicily.

Our Odd Family Tree
When younger, I often sat on the porch with our great-granny while we read the afternoon newspaper within view of the tree, and I frequently listened as Granny repeated the story of how the unusual tree came to our family farm.
