There have been quite a number of people asking for signed copies of A Billion Years. I am not doing a “book tour” or local “book signings,” but I have signed a limited number of copies and they will be made available through the SP Shop in order to raise funds for The Aftermath Foundation. All proceeds from the sales will go to the Foundation directly.
There will be a total of 50 copies and they will be available on a first-come-first-served basis for $50 each.
Unfortunately, Hurricane Ian disrupted getting some of the copies to me. The first 25 signed copies are available immediately. The second 25 will be available for shipping by sometime next week.
If you want a signed first edition, this is the way you can get one and also contribute to the good work of The Aftermath Foundation. It’s a win-win. You can order here.
Megyn Kelly Interview
I spent two hours in the Sirius XM studio live with Megyn Kelly. This then became a podcast which you can find linked below. Megyn is one of the best informed reporters on scientology and asked far ranging and intelligent questions. It was a thoroughly enjoyable interview.

Hurricane
Thank you to all who checked in on us. Christie and the boys are fine, no damage. Unfortunately not so for those further south. Thoughts are with Hana and Jerry Whitfield who took a direct hit. From what I can see on FB they are both OK but have no power or water and a “real mess” with debris, but thankfully they are well.

Mike, I just finished watching your interview with Megyn Kelly……………… let me just say this. You didn’t fail your family, You didn’t fail yourself. You should be PROUD. You survived the largest, most vindictive, abusive, manipulative, controlling cult in the WORLD in current times, not only survived it but have came out the other side of it decent human being trying desperately to write his wrongs. I hope you find your peace one day and can finally understand you done NOTHING to deserve the life you were forced to endure.
That was a GREAT interview and I am in awe of your ability to be who you are today considering what you have been through. Your family are LUCKY to have you continue to fight for them to this day even after all the hurt and pain they have caused you with their words and actions (I say their words and actions when i’m sure you know they aren’t theirs at all but scientology’s)
Your book is going to change the world of scientology FOREVER!
GOOD FOR YOU!
Much love x

Halfway through the audio version. Thankful that Mike Render actually does the narration. Fascinating book. Pre-ordered it the first day I heard it was coming out. Very well written. Hard to put down.
AnEx says
Just finished listening to the interview with Megyn. Clear questions, clear answers. Very informative. Looking forward to more.
Aquamarine says
Well, friends, B&N and the USPS responded to my Tone 40 OH TEA Postulate and delivered my copy of Billion today! Can’t wait to shut out the world while reading it cover to cover this weekend!
Rip Van Winkle says
The book is marvelous, I’m getting so much out of my kindle copy.
I’m not allowing myself to get the audio book until after I’m done reading it for myself, hearing you tell it will be its own experience.
I ordered the signed copy for my hardback. Fingers crossed for one of 50, my order number was a bit over number 4100!
I’m so glad for you and thankful.
jim rowles says
Great book! Scary reading at times, but knowing you came through it kept my stress level down. You did good.

Thank you!

Wonder if they are instantaneous or pending review as it is not showing quite yet. Cheers Mike.
SMoore says
I stumbled across a portion of your interview with Meghan Kelly. She asked surprisingly good questions, and seemed informed. I had no idea CBS were such sniveling cowards! Afraid of a paper tiger!
Newcomer says
We watched your interview last evening. Great job by both of you!
Yo Dave,
Looks like yer Oh Teaz ability helped the Tampa area. Now it’s time to git those boxes of The Way to Misery down south along with yer largest private relief farce on the planet to provide the much needed calming activities and nerve assists. I’m sure that will be the first thing those folks will be looking for.
Don’t fergit to bring the camera crews, the most important part of course because of all the help they provide.
And BTW, why not contact Mrs. Kelly about an interview to ‘set the record straight’ on that new book release good buddy? Could be a stats up opportunity …… and it’s that magic day again where you count up all of those number thingys anyway ……… Dave. Howz about Number of Gallons of sea water prevented from coming ashore (into yer and Toms apartment) due to super powerez and Oh Tea goodness? You could make it a really big number and look good on yer stats.
Aquamarine says
“…Number of Gallons of sea water prevented from coming ashore…” Omg, still laughing. Where the hell have you been, Newcomer? I need more laughs like this đ
Newcomer says
Lurking, but I’m hopeful that the OKtoberfest trials will provide some more opportunities to discuss our favorite mess of a human body.
Yo Dave,
Lets play a game of guess good buddy.
1) At which upcoming trial will you be deposed and have to testify?
2) How many years will Danny Masterson be incarcerated if found guilty?
3) How high will yer stats go due to the upcoming rape trial?
4) How much Scotch do you have in storage?
Spoiler alert: It ain’t enough!!
Aquamarine says
Yo Newcomer,
I lurk here too.
No fair challenging me to a game of guess with tough questions like these.
I have things on my mind, you know?
Big things!
ML,
Dave
Yo Dave,
Maybe they just seem big compared to your mind.
ML,
Aqua
Yo Newcomer,
Must I respond to this bitch?
This Espee who’s always trying to shove my anchor points in?
Get rid of her!
Thank you.
Now, back to our game.
I’m up for it.
I enjoy a challenge.
But fair is fair.
Make the answers multiple choice.
ML,
Dave

âThe Way to MiseryâŚâ
Hilarious.
ââŚgallons of sea water prevented from coming ashore.â
Hilarious.
And so much more.
Coop. You are in rare form.
I wonder why these âOat Teesâ can prevent these hurricanes from coming into Tampa Bay but they canât stop them in their tracks.
So much devastation caused by such indifference from OTâs.
Mary Kahn says
Saw your interview with Megyn. She is very well informed about scientology.
I was almost moved to tears when she read your statement when you finally left the âchurch.â And her understanding of it was truly profound.
Thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected adversely by Ian. The pictures are so horrible.
Fred G. Haseney says
“A Billion Years” is informative and entertaining. In particular, on page 36:
You’re in your apartment on the island of Maderia. The Portuguese Captain has just warned you to not leave the apartment, to not open the door to anyone and to not turn the lights on. Not knowing that the Madeira Rock Festival has just occurred, you peer out the peephole of your front door, just in time to see the Apollo sail by.
I burst out laughing and reread that section again and again.
For anyone who has never been in the Sea Org, please take my word for it: during A BILLION YEARS in the Sea Org, never a dull day goes by!
