Eureka!!!

Greetings Family and Friends,

Welcome back to Meanderings of a Middle Age Mind! 

I know it's been awhile since last I wrote a blog post. There have been a number of reasons for this:

1) I was using the time to finalize my new novel, Death Haunts the Stars!

2) I wanted to give you fine folks a break from advertising overload.

3) Local/National/World events have kinda got me down!



**********

So let's look at these one at a time, shall we?

1) Death Haunts the Stars is now complete and has been submitted to Amazon's Kindle Scout program AND HAS BEEN ACCEPTED for a campaign!!! Starting at 12:00 midnight (EST), this November 25th the campaign goes live. Here is the link to DHtS's Kindle Scout campaign site:



Please take a moment and go to that page once it's live and vote on Death Haunts the Stars by clicking on the blue "Nominate me" button. Please share this link with your family, friends, the neighbors on either side of you, your favorite barber, your least favorite super-villain, and whoever else suits your fancy. The more people who vote and the longer it keeps getting nominated, the greater the chance I will be accepted for an exclusive Amazon Kindle contract to promote the book far more than I can do by myself.


Don't miss your opportunity to nominate "Death Haunts the Stars". This campaign runs for only 30 days and ends on December 25th, 2015.

2) Yes, I know most of you have purchased my other books and are waiting for other books to come out. (I'm working on that!) So short of you wonderful folks spreading the word far and wide about my books, the current market is saturated and further advertising may/may not accomplish much.

Well, I'm going to resume marking with this blog post. I'm going to add that Amazon allows its customers to purchase e-books such as mine as gifts for family and friends. (There's a "Give as a Gift" button on the right of my e-books' Amazon.com pages.) 

Now we're coming up on that wonderful time of the year where giving is so much better than receiving so here's your opportunity to give to those science fiction/action/adventure/thriller family members and friends who have e-readers! 

E-books are fun, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly! 

3) A few weeks back we had a horrible incident here in Stillwater where a young woman drove her car into OSU's Homecoming Parade, killing 4 and injuring 46. They've determined she was not intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They claim she has serious mental health issues. Whatever...she killed 4 people and harmed so many more. 

On the national scene, we have a significant portion of our population who just don't seem to live in reality. They're not only willing to endanger themselves but also the rest of the citizens of the United States for their utopian delusions. God knows how many American will die before they open their eyes. And sadly, they've poisoned the last two generations and turned them into self-centered, whiny babies.

Around the world, there is a cult of religious nuts who are mentally stuck in the 7th Century. They are growing in number and strength every day and those same utopians who are ruining the U.S. can't see them for who they really are. The current administration in D.C. assures us that these religious nuts are the J.V. team and are being contained. Let's see...Paris attack and now a worldwide travel warning for American Citizens. Oh, yeah...they're contained alright!


**********
In a couple of more days, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Let me offer you prayers for safe travels to and from for those who will be traveling for this holiday.

Stay safe!

Jeffrey
