I just read a report and then heard it confirmed by a mutual friend that my friend Pat Jones, the proprietor of SAF Lithgow in Rathdrum, Idaho died tragically on Wednesday evening. Pat, who was born in Australia, was known as “SLR-5000” on the FALFiles. He was a well-respected gun (and gun parts) dealer and an expert on FAL rifles–both inch and metric. He will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to his family. — Today we present another entry for Round 37 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest. The prizes for this round include: First Prize: A.) A course …

It’s official: “Survivors” is #3 on the New York Times bestseller’s list (for fiction hardbacks.) Ditto over at Publisher’s Weekly. Thanks for making the novel such a great success. Among other things, your strong orders have driven the price down to $12.39. Many thanks!

Meanwhile the e-book (for Kindle, Nook, iBook, and now also in ePub format at the Sony Reader Store) is priced at as low as $10.99. — Today we present another entry for Round 37 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest.

I was pleased to see that Amazon.com has dropped their price on my novel “Survivors” again, to just $12.92. That’s not bad for a hardback book, these days. The price drop is no doubt based on economies of scale. They keep re-ordering a lot of books from my publisher!
