Bed Bug Stew
BED BUG STEW is two books in one volume!
First is a compilation of short story fiction and poetry on a wide range of subject matter: science fiction, messages from the heart, and a little terror thrown in. You will laugh out loud and shed a tear, and you will remember all the characters and their flaws, strengths, motivations, and sometimes the depths of their souls.

Fifty percent of the author’s royalties will be donated to veteran charities listed below.
Your purchase positively affects the lives of our service members and their families.
“The idea is to donate royalties to our veterans and their families. I hope you enjoy the novel enough to tell your friends, and be glad that you are making a donation to those who have sacrificed more than we can ever repay.” Kevin Horgan

A quick update of A FACE ON THE FLAG, the novel i published back in November 2020.
The pre-sale period was strong with over 430 copies sold… and in December 2020, I contributed 100% of my royalties of $1500 ($250 each) to six deserving veteran support groups:
VETS2INDUSTRY
BUNKER LABS
HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS
SEMPER FI & AMERICA’S FUND
CHEROKEE COUNTY HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM, and
HERSHELL “WOODY” WILLIAMS MEDAL OF HONOR FOUNDATION
Important to note that Merrill Lynch purchased 75 books for its clientele. That kind of support is immeasurably valuable. I have been a very very very happy and satisfied client for many years, and if you need a brokerage firm to invest and protect your money, my Merrill Lynch team is the best. Let me know if you want an introduction.
Donations made for previous work (several of these have been mingled in with personal donations not related to books sales. I am including them all here for transparency). You will see multiple donations to the same VSO in the same year. Some were in store, some were at conventions, some were … I just like those people. Most payouts were quarterly.

Hello friends of The March of the 18th and The March of the Orphans and A Face on the Flag!

Disclosure…
To avoid confusion as to the amount that is potentially donated for the sale of one book, I am setting forth a general explanation.
On a price point of $16.99, “royalty” paid to an author varies, and is based on the seller-vendor and the whether the book is hard copy or e-book. Seasonality counts, too, as the price of paper has caused my royalties for the hardcopy to swing.
Here’s a rough chart:
Price Royalty (five year avg)
Amazon Hardcopy $16.99 $3.21
Amazon e-copy (Kindle) $7.99 $5.18
Direct from author (ship not incl) $16.99 $7.00
Prices are subject to changes.
I can supply you with all the books you want!
Royalties for all purchases/orders made in October and November through third party vendors is paid to me on December 20, 2020. I promise to make payments to VSO’s and foundations/charities within 7 days, and will publish all data by the end of each year.
Completely transparent. Integrity Matters.
I should be able to have a few book signings at Barnes & Noble in December, too. I am looking forward to that, as I have sold almost 95% of all my books at Barnes & Noble brick and mortar… they have been wonderful to me.
All sales for all books, regardless of venue will have 50% of all royalties paid out to VSO’s and foundation/charities.
I am happy to engage and discuss on all issues relating to this site. Email me at m18@kmhorgan.com
