GOT IT/READ IT/HOOKED! Latest review of FReeper Jeff Head's Novel & a Status on Volume II.
FRMail | July 3, 2002 | okchemyst, Jeff Head

Posted on 07/03/2002 9:25:54 PM PDT by Jeff Head

Here is the latest review of "DRAGON'S FURY - BREATH OF FIRE" by FReeper Jeff Head, the first volume in a five part series about how current events lead to World War III. The review was written by Freeper okchemyst


Got it ... Read it ... Hooked!

OK, this book (and I usually don't like political intrigue/thrillers), has got me hooked. The only thing more addictive is Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! I'm ordering #2 as quickly as it is available.

I devoured book 1, despite being interrupted by work, kids, etc. The only thing I would have liked (if I didn't notice it, bear with me) would have been a glossary of terms, especially the abbreviations/acronyms, where I could just look for a particular one.

Now, for the effect: this book scared the hell out of me. The scenario is very plausible. I've worried for a long time about the "Aztlan contingency", some nation like China capitalizing on the unrest among Hispanics and offering them the bone of getting their old territories back if they help out.

I look forward to reading all of the series. SOON.

STATUS OF VOLUME I

Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire continues to sell well for a "self-published" work available in print as a "print on demand" book on AMAZON.COM and as either an Adobe Ebook, or a Microsoft Reader Ebook.

Of the 1.4 million printed books available on Amazon, the book ranks consitantly in the 20,000 range, and occassionally has climbed into the 10,000 range.

As an eBook (much smaller maket) the book is consistantly ranking in the top five for both the Adobe Reader "Mysteries and Thriller" section and in the Microsoft Reader "Mysteries and Thrillers" section.

STATUS OF VOLUME II

Volume II of the series, Dragon's Fury - Trodden Under is now complete as an intital draft! All chapters are finished and the work is being edited/reviewed by the editing team (see acknowledgements). I expect to have those edits back this week and to have the book in a condition to submit to the distributor, LighningSource sometime next week. I have to add the edits, add maps, diagrams, illustrations and then reformat the manuscript for printing in order to do that.

This means the book should be available for purchase on Amazon as a printed, trade paperback format and as an ebook by the end of July (I hope). I intend to run all sales through Amazon for this volume and future volumes, unless and until the work is picked up by a large publisher.

I believe readers will find Volume II even more exciting, more intrigueing and more compelling than Volume I ... at least I hope and trust it is so ... I sure think it is!

Thank you to everyone who is waiting for VOlume II for your patience, and to SO many others for your encouragement, kind words and faith.

Thanks.

I had my #3 daughter get married yesterday. It was a beautiful ceremony.

She had me play on the guitar a song I wrote for her a few days after she was born ... I added a new verse about her marriage and really clouded up. Played the song in a beautiful park immediately before she and her beau took their vows. The wife and I were shedding a few I don't mind telling you.

We must do all in our power to protect the marvelous, miraculous liberty we enjoy in this Republic ... and to attribute it to its source and well spring IMHO.

Jeff! Have a great and Patriotic 4th!

I hope to purchase as soon as I get some extra commission in, hopefully within the next two weeks. I saw the information when you were getting ready to publish Vol 1, but other things got in the way, but now I'm planning to get it -- it's my #1 priority (after God, Family and Country, of course) :)

BTW, what is the difference between Adobe and the MS reader? Does anyone have any recommendations as to which is better? I'm familiar with Adobe but not the MS product.

Again, God Bless on this 4th of July, and may we all stay safe as we celebrate.

John

P.S.
Jeff, could you add me to your ping list for Vol II and the following works? Thanks!
