In July, I attended FreedomFest in Las Vegas—an annual gathering of libertarian and libertarian-leaning scholars, activists, and interested people. Mark Skousen (who wrote the foreword to my book) is the founder and yearly organizer of the conference.

While there, I was interviewed by CSPAN2 for their Book TV program and was asked a vari...

Judge Andrew Napolitano, host of “Freedom Watch” on the FOX Business channel, is one of the leading voices for libertarianism in the mainstream media. He was kind enough to invite me on his show for an interview! Calling Latter-day Liberty “a great new book,” the Judge dove into important questions regarding the intersection between Mormonism and libertarianism. Watch the four minute clip below:

My good friend Scott Jarvie, being the master photographer that he is, kindly offered to come to my book launch party and snap some photos. The following are a sampling of a few of the great photos he took:

On the official launch day for the book (December 8, 2011) I was invited on the "Good Morning Utah" show on ABC4 to discuss the book. I appeared on two different segments during two hours of the show, and have combined the clips into one. Watch below:

THANK YOU to those who came out to my book's launch party — we had a huge turnout, lots of people stayed and enjoyed some great conversation, and we sold well over 100 copies of the book! It was a smashing success and I'm grateful for your support. And congrats to the winners of all the prizes we gave out, including the iPad sponsored by the Salcido Law Firm!

But many of you would like to have entered to win, but don't live near Utah County, or simply couldn't make it. Don't lose hope...

One of the first questions I received when I showed people my book cover was regarding the background. I was able to provide extensive input into what I wanted on the cover, and the publisher was more than accommodating to review and implement my ideas.

Of the many things I wanted on the cover, one was the background image. I specifically asked for a photo with ominous clouds in the sky and a glowing sun out on the horizon. Unusual, perhaps—but I believe it carries significant meaning.

Throughout my experience in publishing this book, I have been asked why I decided to begin. Why did I choose to write a book on this topic? What was my inspiration? What is my purpose?

My blog has long served as a platform to share my ideas and observations. Some of my articles are lengthy and contain in depth research on the topic; others are short, terse, and often controversial. Over the years this...
