Please hold off until October 4th to order my new novel “Survivors: A Novel of the Coming Collapse”. By concentrating all of the orders on the release day (the “Book Bomb Day”), I hope to help propel the book into Amazon’s Top 100. Thanks!

(The publisher should soon be releasing the cover art for promotional purposes. I’ll post it then.) The Kindle edition will sell for $10.99. I …
