OK, I realize this is a vanity, and I apologize to any who may be offended by it ... [Note: If you are, stop now and exit the thread].
But, since the FReeper community has been so supportive of my efforts with this series, and since I am upfront and open about my intentions with the series ... that is to use the series to send what I deem to be critical messages about our Republic and the current circumstances we find ourselves in ... I thought I would seek input from those folks at FR interested in and following the enitre project (and that's how I view it).
Here's the thought.
I have been somewhat successful so far in self-publishing the series and getting a fairly good audience for the books. Lots of great comments, some very good rankings on Amazon, lots of great input and critique from all over the country, particularly from members here at FR.
The Series is not "Politically Correct", but I believe it is "Constitutionally Correct" and in keeping with the intent of the founders of this nation and focused on current efforts to return our Republic to its Constitutional and moral roots. But no major publisher has taken interest in the work to date.
So, being committed to the effort in any case ... I intend to start a serious and organized advertisement campagin for the books in an effort to increase exposure and to promote the series.
In that regard, I have produced an initial online advertisement that I want FReeper input on. I intend to make this effort at my own expenze, starting online. Here is a link to that online ad:
ONLINE AD FOR THE DRAGONS FURY SERIES
I would like FReepers who are interested to consider the following:
After that, I intend to take out similar ads in local newspapers in major locals and expand to radio as I can afford them.
What are your thoughts on all of this?
I appreciate folks time and apologize for any inconvienence. Particularly, I appreciate this site, its members, its lurkers and its owner for providing a platform for projects such as this to germinate.

...might be a little more compelling as
you need to read these books...
Jeff, you have the makings of a good ad man... the only other suggestion I can think of is that it might be better to lead the top of the ad with the bookcover graphics- human attention is drawn to pictures, and conversely, somewhat put off by printed words. JMO.
When you feel like it's ready to be run, flag me and I'll send a standalone mass email to the usual suspects in 'netland.
Other than that, great ad.
A doomsday-style tagline at the top would do wonders, too; people seem to be eating that stuff up these days.
Take a look now using the link in this thread. I have made most of the changes based on this input.
New folks to the thread will only see the latest.
