Heading Towards a Great New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe, fun, and joyous Christmas! Our branch of the Fortney Family was gathered here in Stillwater for a few days to enjoy the Holidays and each others' company.

The last couple of days I've had some great success on writing the the e-novel. Two and a half pages one day and four yesterday! I'm beginning to get a better feel for who the characters are and how they will act. Hope to spend a few hours each day of this vacation pounding away at the keyboard adding to the storyline and the page count!

Sales have been down this month although there was a small uptick before Christmas. Actually had someone refund a book through Amazon. I get one of those every few months and it doesn't really bother me. If they don't like it, fine! I know what I write is not for everyone. I'm trying to entertain people while trying to get them to think a little about what's going on in this messed up world of ours. If someone's not up to it, c'est la vie. Far more people are!

The Terra-Bravo Saga:

Chaos on Terra-Prime
Chaos on Terra-Prime is set about a decade ago on an alternate Earth (Terra). There we meet Major Kent Morgan (U.S. Air Force) and Captain Cord Morgan (U.S. Army) who are trapped in South Korea when their version of the United States of America devolves into another civil war. The Morgans and other U.S. military personnel must escape a North Korean invasion into South Korea in order to return home. But home is not what it used to be.

Foothold on Terra-Prime
Several years later, the absence of the U.S. on the world stage has allowed a growing Global Islamic Caliphate to overrun much of Terra...and the U.S. is next. Military scientist discover number of alternate worlds in parallel universes, one of which is hospitable. Terra-Bravo is a world just coming out of its last ice age. Humans never colonized the North American Continent and have only a limited presence and civilization in Europe, Asia, and Africa. A crash program is created to send teams to Terra-Bravo to build a colony for a later influx of colonists. Brigadier General Kent Morgan and his brother, Colonel Cord Morgan, lead the teams to Terra-Bravo and battle time, the elements, and the local fauna to prepare a home for the colonists.

Crisis on Terra-Prime
After being cut off from Terra-Prime, the colonists continue to expand their foothold on Terra-Bravo. As the colony grows, a hidden plot is discovered. Sleeper agents have been with the colonists since the start and try to destroy the colony from within. Once again, Brigadier General Kent Morgan and Colonel Cord Morgan and their friends must fight to survive.

My latest e-novel is the first in a new series that spins out of Chaos on Terra-Prime and is predominately an action/adventure story set in Arizona. 

The Arizona State Guard:

The Arizona State Guard: Bloody Border
War weary Major Marcus A. Roman returns home to Arizona, ready to move on with his life. The former Special Forces operative finds his home state besieged on many levels. When the Federal Government fails to protect its citizens along the border with Mexico, Arizona's governor and legislature take steps to protect the citizens of the Grand Canyon State. Marcus and his family are drawn into the crossfire when he and his father are recruited to help form the state's new first-line of defense...the Arizona State Guard! 

The Terra-Bravo Sage e-novels sell for $2.99 each while Bloody Border sells for $3.99. All of my e-novels are available at:

Amazon.com
Smashwords.com
b&n.com
Apple iBooks Store (from iPads or iPhones)

That's enough for today. Time for some family time!

Have a safe and Happy New Years! See you in 2015!
