Oklahoma newspaper covers new Robert Shea book

 

My old newspaper back in Oklahoma, The Lawton Constitution, covers the new Robert Shea anthology I edited:

GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. — Hilaritas Press has published the first new book in more than 30 years by Robert Shea, best known for co-writing “Illuminatus!”, the popular cult novel written with his friend, Robert Anton Wilson.

The book “Every Day is a GOOD Day,” a collection of Shea’s writings, is edited by Tom Jackson, a former Lawton resident and reporter for The Lawton Constitution who now lives in Ohio. Jackson has often written about Shea at his RAWIllumination.net website.

Shea was known for his historical novels such as “Shike” and “All Things Are Lights,” books that still draw rave reviews from readers at websites such as Goodreads, Jackson said. When Shea died in 1994, an obituary announced that a book would come out collecting his short pieces. That plan has finally been realized 30 years later with the publication of “Every Day Is a GOOD Day.”
