The novel, Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire, volume one of a five part series about a future Third World War between the West (the United States and our allies) and an unholy union of Red China, her allies and the fundamental Islamic Nations, continues to progress.
This thread is an update/status to those who have purchased the book and those who may have interest in the series.
To date approximately 300 novels have beend sold. Well over half of those are illustrated trade paperbacks and the rest a mixture of MSReader, AdobeReader and Activ Ebooks ... all of which are for sale at the web site, or at various stores.
Recently, all of the Hastings Books stores in the Boise area agreed to stock the book and run an "Author's Signing" day at each store through March. These include:
Hasting's Books at Overland and Five Mile, Boise, ID
Hasting's Books at Fairview and Cole, Boise, ID
Hasting's Books at Idaho and Apple, Boise, ID
I hope to extend that to all Hasting's throughout Idaho and ultimately into Utah before making a general proposal to Hastings for a larger, regional and then national stocking. Several companies that frequent gun shows have also started purchasing the book to sell and a number of other local stores are carrying the book.
The Book can also be ordered:
... or through
AMAZON BOOKS (Trade paperback, need some reviews in there)
AMAZON BOOKS (Adobe Reader, need some reviews in there)
or at:
BARNES AND NOBLES (Trade paperback, need some reviews there too)
or at B. Dalton Book stores (owned by Barnes and Nobles) (though they are not stocking it). Please use the following ISBN number:
My agent with Waterside Productions continues to be very positive and has manuscripts in the hands of several large publishers.
I have started writing the second volume, "Trodden Under" and hope to produce and publish it in the May time frame.

Dragon's Fury, Breath of Fire lays out a highly plausible future scenario whereby a large foreign alliance exploits weaknesses in America's strategic forces and national defenses. More than a fictional story, this book should serve as a warning to policy makers, and the people, that those weaknesses do exist, and most certainly will be exploited, unless the primary focus of our government and our people returns to our survival as a sovereign nation.
From recent events, we have seen the needed potential emerge from the American people following the attacks of 9/11/01 and some subsequent attempts. We have also witnessed the return to complacency by some segments of our population, and a return to blatant anti-American rhetoric and activities by others. I suspect the nature and character of these internal elements will be more fully explored in the next book of the series.
I anxiously await Volume II.
If my series ever attains the notiriety you propose ... I'll have my hands full for 2-3 years just getting the other volumes out. After that ... it's buy a little land up in Garden Valley, build a simple log cabin there and then write the next series while I herd a few cattle ... or something close to that as my last two kids get out of High Schoool, and as I and the wife focus on heping our kids and grandkids as best we can.
I figure and reckon that writing good books that include the proper messages, raising a whole passle of kids (we had five) and grandkids to be good solid citizens with the love of liberty flowing in their viens and a will to fight for it ... and staying as close to my Father in Heaven as possible are the best things I can do for my country.

If you haven't ordered it yet ... I prefer folks either order through Amazon (so the book goes up on their ratings) or of course through my own site where my margin is higher and I donate a portion to FR. Either way, hope you get it soon and enjoy it. please conside writing a review on either Amazon or Barnes and Nobles.

We've turned warn the last few days ... into the low 50's. Supposed to get cold again on Saturday night into Sunday though. Plenty of snow pack down here.
I do wonder why anyone would want to deface a perfectly good book with my scriblings. LOL!
I look forward to hearing what you think, and hope the read is a good one for you.
