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.

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.
Please let me know what you think about the book once you get it. Your timing will be good for Volume II too.
As to the differences between Adobe and MSReader ... both work well for eBooks. MSReader tends to make a smaller document which is nice, but I believe Adobe's display/font is marginally better. Both have good features in terms of bookmarks, etc.
Still, by far for me, the printed book is my preference. It's hard to get real cozy with a laptop or desktop ... and up here in the mountains, I still don't throw the laptop in a backback for jaunts into the hills. Just wouldn't be "getting away from it all" if I did.
It was so beautiful and SO representative of all we cherish and fight for ... but it was also personal and I must seek and respect their feelings before I share too much.
God bless you and yours.
Get up early, cook breakfast for family, wash dishes and put the laundry in the washer. Go shoot some, and clean your own guns.
I do pretty good on those regularly ... could probably cook breakfast more often just to slow us down so we eat together more in the AM ... with teens in summer, it's hard to coral everyone.
Best to you and yours!
Regards and Happy 4th.

As to the other, to the utmost of my ability ... I shall.
God's best to you and yours as well. We had the grandboy from number one daughter here for the wedding with his mom (our daughter) and dad and it added so much to the overall feeling for the event.
Two daughters wed and one to go ... then we'll see what happens with the two younger boys (17 and 13).
God bless you and yours for the anniversary of our Republic's inspired and miraculous birth.
Hope all is well over there with you and that your plans as regards the west are progressing nicely.
An absolute and irrefutable Amen to that.
Semper Fi! Semper Paratus!
Thanks for the update. No nibbles from any of the major publishers as yet?????? I wonder how Tom Clancy fared with his early works?
A safe and happy Independence Day to you and yours.
God bless.

On the glasses ... see an optomitrist. I have to get a new prescription for my glasses soon. Been several years and wear and tear, scratches and age or demanding something new soon. LOL!
FRegrds!
On the book order. Wow! Glad you will get it quickly. Thanks so much and I look forward to your comments.
Have a great holiday!
That's okay though, I figure its own continued success will meet my goals (get the good message out to as many as I can) and may well breed further success of its own. Several other series have gone that way.
In the mean time ... I just keep pluggin' along on my own, doing the best I can.
