Pre-order Bonuses … ending at 11:59 P.M, Monday, November 21, 2022
A preorder of a book from a new author is a significant act of kindness. In appreciation for this assist to my new career, I’ve put together a package of the most meaningful bonuses I can think of for anyone who preorders my book. You will receive:
Copies of the first two chapters of my next book (the one about Winston Churchill and the Royal Navy’s attack on the French fleet in July 1940)
Two chapters that I left out of Everybody Knows a Salesman Can’t Write a Book
Your name will appear in the Acknowledgements section of my next book
I will send you a free copy of the audio version of Everybody Knows a Salesman Can’t Write a Book when it becomes available (which I expect to be in early 2023)
To receive your bonuses, just:
Purchase a copy. (Feel free to use any of these links).
Email a copy or a photo of your receipt to Bill.Whiteside@PerfectlyTrueStory.com
You will receive an email reply with two PDFs attached, one with the chapters from my next book, the other with the two missing chapters from “Everybody Knows ….” I will follow up with you (please trust me!) on the inclusion of your name in the Acknowledgements section of my next book, and the future availability of the audio version of “Everybody Knows ….”
Here are additional details about your bonuses:
Two chapters from my next book
My next book tells the story of Winston Churchill’s pivotal role in a deadly clash between the British and French Navies early in World War II. Since Churchill was an unabashed Francophile, and since Britain and France had battled against Germany as allies only two weeks prior to that incident, Churchill’s decision was as extraordinary as it was painful. My first two chapters – titled “This Magnificent Lawn” and “Red Renault Taxis” paint a picture of the fragile alliance between Britain and France in the early stages of the War.
A PDF titled “Bill Whiteside – Chapters from Next Book” will be attached to my email.
Two missing chapters from “Everybody Knows…”
When France asked Britain’s permission to seek armistice terms from Germany, Winston Churchill tentatively agreed … but he insisted on two conditions. The first condition was that France had to sail their newest and largest warships to Britain or America … which happens to be the subject of my next book. Churchill’s second condition was the transfer of 400 captured Luftwaffe airmen from France to Britain. The majority of those pilots had been shot down by the Royal Air Force. France ultimately ignored both conditions. As Churchill later wrote, “These German pilots all became available for the Battle of Britain, and we had to shoot them down a second time.” I wondered if I could find a German pilot who was shot down a second time. I did … and wrote about him in a story with a couple of unlikely twists in a chapter titled “We Had to Shoot Them Down a Second Time.” The second missing chapter tells the story of “That Time I Purchased 79 Books Online.”
A PDF titled “Bill Whiteside – Two Missing Chapters” will also be attached to my email
Your name will appear in the Acknowledgments section of my next book
A preorder requires a leap of faith, and is one of the most significant acts of kindness to a new author. To help show my appreciation for your valuable contribution to my writing career, I will publicly thank and salute you in my next book.

Thank you!
