A lot of people have been emailing, fremailing and otherwise contacting me regarding the scarce availability of the printed version of Volume V of the Dragon's Fury Series of novels, which is a techno-thriller about how current conditions lead to World War.
Here is a special from the official web site regarding the same:
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PRINTED VERSION OF VOLUME V
October 22, 2004
Just a quick update on the availability of the trade paperback version (printed version) of Volume V. I am very sorry for the ongoing delay. For some reason, the distributor has had real problems setting up Volume V in the distribution channel. Amazon, Barnes & Nopble, Powells and other sites are having trouble getting the information set up for order. I am actively working the distributor to fix this.
Right now, only one place has been able to work through the resulting difficulties and this is is a company, The BookDepositoryUK, in the UK. Amazon has linked to them...but ordering through them ends up costing more money because of the UK rate and paying for shipping from the UK. Some customers are buying through them anyway just to get the book as soon as they can. Here's that link on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/0974761036/ref=dp_pb_a//102-3376327-3736113?condition=new
Customers might consider emailing/contacting Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Powells (depending on where you shop) and have them put more pressure on LightningSource and Ingram who are the ones distributing the books..
I expect this to get cleared up in any case within the next week to ten days and will announce it on the main site and on the FreeRepublic forum.
Thanks for your loyalty to the series and for your patience. I know you will really enjoy this last volume when you get it.
Sincerely,
Jeff Head

Thanks for the update.

A nice Thanksgiving present to myself maybe.
I'm sure you'll be able to have it by then...and hopefully by then the alligators and clymers will be reduced considerably for you as well.
Great news. Thanks for the ping.
That's why I suggested a mini-series. And a lengthy one at that to do it justice.
I wish some good, conservative, constitutional outfit would see it and take notice.
I don't think there are any. Least ways not in Hollywood. And therein lies the problem.
It's in the good Lord's hands from there.
Amen.
You are welcome my friend, Semper Fi!
You are welcome my friend. Semper Fi!

Thanks for the good news.
Ten Rules For A Happy Day
1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK...
if someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is
unkind, I will not respond in a like manner.
2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY 'ENEMY'...
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly,
I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand
"enemy" could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.
3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY...
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that
I do not spread gossip.
4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE...
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE...
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL DO
IT IN SECRET...
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED...
I will practice the golden rule. "Do Unto others as I would have
them do unto me"- with EVERYONE I encounter.
8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE WHO IS DISCOURAGED...
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the
difference to someone who is wrestling with life.
9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY...
I will eat less... I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank
God for my body.
10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY...
I will spend a little more time in prayer today. I will begin
reading something spiritual or inspirational; I will find a
quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to God's voice.
Ordered! Thanks Jeff! Now I don't have to hunt for a new book to read next week on vacation!

Islamists Using Oil To Influence US Elections? - By Beth Goodtree
Ever wonder why the price of oil suddenly rose astronomically in this run-up to US elections? If you haven't, you should. I wondered, and what I found out is that there is may be a plot by the Islamists to influence if not overturn the US elections. And it is probably because of Israel.
The Islamist countries view Israel and America as the same thing. They say it often enough by calling America 'The Big Satan,' and Israel 'The Little Satan.' President Bush, despite his gross misstep in calling for a Palestinian State to be established (and I blame this partly on his trusting his Arabist-tainted State Department headed by Colin Powell), has been unswervingly supportive of Israel in the area of self-defense. This infuriates the Islamist countries who would like nothing better than to exterminate Israel and commit genocide on the Jews.
Keep this in mind: Not a single Islamist country has come out in support of Israel's right to exist free from terror. They all voted to condemn Israel's security barrier.
The Islamists, having experienced our reaction to 9-11, know that bombing us again will never get the US elections overturned the way it did in Spain. If we were to have another 9-11, the first thing we'd probably do is turn their homelands into wastelands. So they must do something else.
You see, they hate President Bush for his support of Israel and his unswerving determination to go after every terrorist entity, although he has as yet to call them Islamist terrorist entities. For one thing, many of the major Islamist groups such as Hizbollah, al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are sponsored not by fugitive rogues but by legitimate OPEC countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia.
And these Islamists and their supporters, aiders, enablers and abettors love Kerry.
"Last week, in a coordinated survey of opinions in 10 key countries in Europe, Asia and North America, Israel was one of only two countries - the other was Russia - where poll respondents favored Bush over Kerry (by 50 percentage points to 24)." (3)
Meanwhile, "A Pew Research Center poll has shown that vast majorities in predominantly Muslim countries continue to hold unfavorable opinions of the United States." (4)
And last week, Mr. Genocidal monster himself -- Yasser Arafat -- endorsed Kerry. (Recently, Saudi Arabia openly admitted to continuing to send money to the families of genocide bombers to pick up the slack when Saddam was arrested.)
Regarding the US presidential elections, Russian President Putin had this to say: "International terrorism aims at causing maximum damage to President Bush and to forestall his second term re-election." (5)
Because he is ostensibly part diplomat, apparently Putin himself is afraid to name the enemy -- Islamism --instead referring to it as 'terrorism,' which is merely a symptom. But I dare anyone to show me more than a handful of terror attacks in the last few years that were not Islamist-motivated and carried out.
So it is apparent that the Islamists hate President Bush. And they have a huge weapon in their arsenal called oil. With it they can ruin the American economy or squeeze the American voter until it hurts. And it seems apparent that they are doing it. They want Kerry to win in the worst way and they are desperately afraid of President Bush. And here's the Islamist weapon of mass distraction:
OPEC (Org. of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ) Members and Their Main Religions (1)
Iran September 1960 Founder Member .............................................Islam Iraq September 1960 Founder Member .............................................Islam Kuwait September 1960 Founder Member ........................................Islam Saudi Arabia September 1960 Founder Member .............................Islam Venezuela September 1960 Founder Member ..................................Roman Catholic Qatar December 1960 Full Member ...................................................Islam Libya December 1962 Full Member ...................................................Islam Indonesia December 1962 Full Member ............................................Islam United Arab Emirates November 1967 Full Member ......................Islam Algeria July 1969 Full Member ..........................................................Islam
Nigeria July 1971 Full Member ...........................................................Islam Ecuador* November 1973 Full Member ...........................................Roman Catholic Gabon December 1973 Associate Member ......................................Christian 55%-75%, animist, Islam less than 1%
* Ecuador left OPEC in 1992
Some OPEC Members and How They Voted in the UN (2)
Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time
(Statistics on several other Islamic OPEC countries were not available, but a cursory glance at their recent votes showed they voted against America at least 75% of the time.)
.........................................................
So the next time you have to gas up your car or heat your house, remember who is responsible for the obscene prices and what they are doing to the profits they make by stealing your hard-earned money: they are using it to fund more Islamists whose only goal is to convert America into an Islamic entity where you, the American public, will be forced into subservience.
This next quote says it all. It is by the co-founder of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) which is a group funded by Saudi Arabia and other Islamist countries. This quote explains our artificially high oil prices and the fact that in all likelihood, OPEC members are trying to overturn the American elections by manipulating our economy to get the voters angry with President Bush:
"The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." (6)
Great rules to live by...they epitomize true Christian living.

The Handwriting On The Wall
(author unknown)
A weary mother returned from the store,
Lugging groceries through the kitchen door.
Awaiting her arrival was her 8-year-old son,
Anxious to relate what his younger brother had done.
"While I was out playing and Dad was on a call,
T.J. took his crayons and wrote on the wall!
It's on the new paper you just hung in the den.
I told him you'd be mad at having to do it again."
She let out a moan and furrowed her brow,
"Where is your little brother right now?"
She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride,
She marched to his closet where he had gone to hide.
She called his full name as she entered his room.
He trembled with fear--he knew that meant doom!
For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved
About the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved.
Lamenting all the work it would take to repair,
She condemned his actions and total lack of care.
The more she scolded, the madder she got,
Then stomped from his room, totally distraught!
She headed for the den to confirm her fears.
When she saw the wall, her eyes flooded with tears.
The message she read pierced her soul with a dart.
It said, "I love Mommy," surrounded by a heart.
Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it,
With an empty picture frame hung to surround it.
A reminder to her, and indeed to all,
Take time to read the handwriting on the wall.
Outstanding! I know you will really like it. Please let me know what you think and, if you have are so disposed, review the book here and/or on Amazon..
