This article about my book is causing a bit of a stir: “The Most Dangerous Novel In America”. Dangerous? Obviously, my politics and religious background didn’t match those of the journalist.

I was pleased to see that Amazon.com has dropped their price to just $8.97 on my novel “Patriots: A Novel Survival in the Coming Collapse” . This must be one of those “economies of scale” benefits, derived from the huge re-order that they placed following the “Book Bomb” day last Wednesday. (Amazon sold more than 2,000 copies of “Patriots” in just one day!) Ulysses Press has ordered another 10,000 copy press run, to keep up with demand.

I’ve just signed a publishing contract with Penguin Books to complete a manuscript for a non-fiction paperback that will be titled “How to Survive The End of the World as We Know It.” Rather than the 12- to 18-month production cycle that is typical for most books from major New York publishing houses, this book will be a “instant book” with a release date possibly as early as August of Aught Nine. There are also now two big New York publishers that have expressed interest in publishing a mass-market edition of “Patriots“. I’ll post more details as they become available. …
