An inspiring new book about Creek Indian Jack Colbert is finally out, newly available in limited edition directly from the author. The small paperback Taking Control--Creek Roots, Airman Wings, Family Heart, shows how one man's determination, decisiveness, sense of duty, and devotion to family led him to save and improve lives (including his own) and reap just rewards. With the help of the U.S. Air Force and his lifelong wife Helen Ward Colbert of Pensacola, Jack pulled himself from an impoverished childhood in the backwoods of Alabama through adventures that spread around the world. His loving six children commissioned the professional development of this story to honor their father and preserve their heritage. The process has taken more than two years. Some of you offered encouragement and advice, which I appreciated, and asked me to let you know when the book was published, which I am doing here. You are the first to even know about it. If you have no further interest, read no more. If you do, please read on... The book is newly available directly from me, the author and publisher. To order a single copy, please send a check for $11.50 ($10 plus $1.50 for mailing costs) to Berthelot Consulting Inc., 600 Bayou Boulevard, Pensacola, FL 32503. Make the check out to Dr Dolly Berthelot. Please put your return address clearly on the check and put Book: Taking Control on the left blank indicating what the check is for. Allow 30 days for receipt. If you indicate you would like a personal author signing, I'll be happy to oblige. Just tell me what name or names you want the book or books addressed to. Because this is a small paperback, just 60 easy-read pages suitable for adults and older juveniles, shipping is cheaper than most books. Should you want multiple of copies for any purpose, packages of 10 or more copies will be discounted to $9 per copy; packages of 50 or more will be $8 each. Plus reduced per copy mailing costs to be determined by numbers of book ordered and delivered at once. Should you know of any book stores, libraries, or groups that you feel might be interested in this book, or in my life writing services and workshops, for that matter, please let me know and let them know. I believe life stories such as this are important to help people understand and appreciate their own roots and culture and that of other people. From what I can tell, little is available to preserve the real stories of Creek people. I love playing a small part to rectify that. Feel free to share this email with anyone you like.
