I'm going to self publish "trade paperback" sized books, then sell them via a website and Amazon etc. The lag time waiting and hoping to be annointed by 5th Avenue is too long, 6 months to 2 years usually, IF you can get one of those liberal pond scum suckers to give a fair read to a conservative RKBA novel.

yeah.. it's a bullet that really really really means it!

not to be confused with "safer bullets", which don't really mean it...

[Travis McGee]

I am using quite a bit of "mainstream media" commentary, which is all anti gun nonsense spoon fed to them from the BATF and HCI type groups. For example

"Harry, the FBI has reported that shells for a 50 caliber sniper rifle were recovered from the house after the fire. As we know, 50 calibers can shoot down helicopters and destroy tanks 2 miles away!"

[Travis McGee]

Did you read the great novel Unitended Consequences by John Ross?

Not only was it 400 pages too long to be a breakthrough bestseller, it went way into explicit 3 way sex etc with the hero, his stripper girlfriend, and her stripper friend. I kid you not.

This is NOT the way to get a conservative POV novel to be passed by word of mouth from friend to friend. I suspect that many readers closed the book after the first jolly BJ.

My novel intertwines a love story, but not that kind! I don't want conservatives or women readers to be turned off by it, as I suspect many were by UC's superfluous sex scenes.

"Not only was it 400 pages too long to be a breakthrough bestseller, it went way into explicit 3 way sex etc with the hero, his stripper girlfriend, and her stripper friend. I kid you not."

Is that the book that came with a free 8 track of cheesy 70's porno music?

[Travis McGee]

No, actually it is extremely well printed and bound with classic cover art.

FYI,
It may come to light that this dude has a connection to
this story.

Man who killed self intense, well-read ( Raleigh Gun Cache Story) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/636266/posts
Also, don't believe for a minute this was a suicide.
More like assisted suicide/

Well then, put me on your ping list when ready. Sounds great.

[FreedomPoster]

I remember reading that story when it first came across. And you think there's a connection because . . . . ? ?

[Cvengr]

Good luck on the book. Sometimes I wish those who make remarks like that about .50cal sniper rifles could be placed somewhere out in the Iraqi desert, 40 miles deep in that territory, only armed with such a weapon to defend themselves from an armored assault.

It'd be nice for those who flippantly cry wolf, wolf, actually might have to bear the risk of their language some day.

[Travis McGee]

Reporters don't know or want to know about firearms. They treat anyone who has such knowledge as suspicios and dangerous, ie decent people would never know such things.

They would rather have their daughters date porno photographers than shooters.

[Travis McGee]

Thanks!

They also said that he is diabetic in the first reports. Do you think that a druggie diabetic is cabable of making these shots? Anyway, there was a report, yesterday, that they had found this guy and were holding him on an outstanding Florida warrant for car theft. Maybe it was the wrong guy?

[Travis McGee]

Synopsis at 138. I put a link to a sample chapter called "The Raid" on this thread also.

[ET(end tyranny)]

Authorities were searching for two men, including one with North Carolina ties, for questioning, and were investigating whether a seventh shooting outside a Virginia store was part of the same crime spree.

So, who is the other guy they are looking for?

[OKSooner]

Uh, that's a "Special High Intensity Terminal-performance" bullet...

[GovernmentShrinker]

Maybe if they'd mentioned the nature of the crime underlying the "fugitive warrant" he was arrested on in 1993, we'd be in a better position to judge.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I don't think they're at all sure that the famous white truck with 2 people inside is related to the shootings -- it's just that they don't have much else to go on. If I was driving along and saw somebody shot dead, I'd speed out of the area too. Being me, I'd call police when I realized that someone had seen my vehicle speeding away, and thought it might be the shooter. But if I were an illegal immigrant, or somebody with a prior criminal record, who didn't want to bring myself to the attention of police, I'd probably just keep mum.
