John Ringo is a prolific author of science fiction, fantasy, and action novels. One day, he found that he had a problem: while he had pressing deadlines on several projects for people who paid him money, he had an idea for an action novel about a bad man fighting worse terrorists and bedding gorgeous women. Mike Harmon, ex-Navy SEAL, sat down in Ringo's head and refused to leave until Ringo wrote his story. Ringo caved just to make it go away.
Then some fans read it, and, to Ringo's horror, liked it. And his publisher, even more to Ringo's horror, demanded to print it. And the audience demanded to buy it, which resulted in John Ringo and his publisher making money, so they were okay with that. Even if Mike's adventures were horrifying enough enough to make a seasoned reader cringe away from the page shouting "OH JOHN RINGO NO." ...while simultaneously buying the next book.
(See the detailed review at http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html for some samples.)
It turned out that several people found "OH JOHN RINGO NO" to be a useful sentiment for a variety of circumstances. Some of them demanded T-shirts. John Ringo is a class act and has a keen eye for free publicity, so he cheerfully endorsed the creation of OH JOHN RINGO NO T-shirts.
This is a charitable venture; sale of the shirts benefits the Helen Bamber Foundation, which helps a lot of women who've been forced into prostitution. Which is exactly what Mike Harmon does. In his way.
The funds raised will be donated to the Helen Bamber Foundation in the name of Captain Tamara Long, USAF (1979-2003).
