Reading, Writing, and Not So Much Arithmetic

During my time off from this blog, I wrote a few books, which are now available on Amazon, including:

So You Want to Be A Landlord... A Practical Look at Landlording

Where Do Unmatched Socks Go?: THE ADVENTURE OF JACIE THE WONDERER TO THE LAND OF FAIRYSTOCKINGS

Finding Angela

Or, they can also be found by simply searching for “Christopher M Wathen” on Amazon.

The three books couldn't be more different, as one is obviously more of a practical how-to guide, another is a children's story, and the last one is a racy romance.

If you are so inclined to read any of the three, I would be most appreciative of your support!

During this time, I delved into politics some by running for City Council, as well as County Auditor. 

Certainly, many things have changed, yet some haven't: Linton.  It's till the same small town in southwestern Indiana.  Some businesses have come, and some have gone.

In any event, please check back from time-to-time for new posts.  While the original title of this blog will remain, the blog will also be available at www.ChristopherMWathen.com
