I've been a member here since 2007, but not very active, I'll confess. But, my first novel Brushfire Plague has been published by Prepper Press recently, and I thought folks might want to take a look. It's getting great reviews--from long-term survivalists to newer preppers to people who just like the story. A cool trailer here: www.brushfireplague.com for more info or at Amazon for Amazon reviews by customers etc. Let me know what you all think!
"Brushfire Plague is riveting and fast paced. Once I picked it up, it was hard to put down. I appreciated the detailed descriptions of the early days of the pandemic and how quickly society started degrading. The book portrayed in a realistic manner how people would react to a sudden disaster: they start out being in denial and have trouble accepting that the lawlessness can reach through their nice neighborhood. At the same time, there is a ray of hope that in the face of tragedy: good people can unite and help each other survive." excerpted from www.apartmentprepper.com
The ads for the book look good, and this is the type of book I normally buy, but I will not pay the exhorbitant fixed prices that Amazon charges. Basically, I won't pay more for an e-book than I would for a paperback.
Wanted to post this latest review from a reader on Amazon...so happy it is 'waking his wife up' to prepping! "I purchased Brushfire Plague when I read about it online. It is written by a local person and I thought what the heck. After starting and finishing the book quickly, I was ready for the sequel! My wife is now reading it, enjoying it AND it has started her thinking about being prepared. That makes this book worth way more than I paid for it!!! Ready for the sequel....Hurry RP!"
