I just wish I could write Domestic Enemies faster. I'm way too slow!
By the time I'm finished, my "future history" may be past history.

I'll have to run some more adds in Small Arms Review! I don't think it has a huge audience, but its readership seems to be at the "gun pro" end of the spectrum.

Thanks Jeff. You really need to look into a bulk deal next, and get your unit price way down! More exploitive capitalist profit amigo!

Congrats. Are there any FReeper discounts? ;)

I ran the ads in SOF, GUNS, Shotgun News and Small Arms Review. G&A was about ten times more expensive, for only twice the readers. Any thoughts on best ad venues?

It would be interesting to check into google.com ad rates.

Hey are you signing copies? I have another FReeper book, "Return Of The Gods" by one of my all-time favorite FReepers, "Ohioan"... I still need him to autograph that for me.
Let me know, when I'm not so broke I'll order one!

American Handgunner seems to have a following, atleast on the gun forums I hang out on. I have no idea what the circulation or rates are. What about American Rifleman?

Yep, a team of volunteer amateur proofreaders was "less than optimal." I'll bite the bullet and spend the money on Domestic Enemies. (The third printing, another 2,000 books, has about 25 fewer glitches, thanks to corrections sent in by sharp-eyed readers.)

I would encourage any freepers who have not read the book to obtain one.
It is very readible and has a lot of interesting information you don't often see. Also lots of things to ponder as far as future things to happen in the USA.

You're welcome.
I'm probably going to let the series do what it will out there on its own with the Print on Demand format roght now. Just too many other things going on.
Perhaps next year after the publishing of the Klamath Falls story.

My theory is that the there is a market for conservative fiction. I see the wave which launched Clancy's pro-military techno-fiction merging with the Regnery/Coulter wave of conservative non-fiction.
Some imprint with vision is going to pick up on this, and we'll all be off to the races. Regnery could start a fiction division, but for now they're not interested. I think they're missing a golden opportunity. Millions and millions of Americans, who scoop up every new conservative non-fiction release, are eager to read the conservative fiction which the liberal PC-ridden NYC publishers will not touch.
Just look at the amazing success of the poorly-written "Left Behind" series among conservative rapture believers. There is some great conservative fiction out there (EFAD, if I might say) which is far superior to the Left Behind books.

I hope I finish Domestic Enemies in time for it to still be a scenario set in the future. It's coming true day by day as it is.

I agree 100%.
It's a timing thing...and when the time is right, this genre will take off big time.
I have continued to try and point publishers, agents, etc. to EFAD and the DFS and push them. I believe as we cross the 10K books in print/sold, there will be more interest because at that point their profit motivation will override their PC motivation..just as it did with Left Behind.

Do you know anything about the publishing route of Left Behind? We should research how they did it. Gotta run now, back later.
