Well...Maybe Not THAT Soon...

Rats!

I was really hoping to wrap up my read-through of Arizona State Guard: Freedom's Forge this past Friday and get it submitted to Amazon's Kindle Scout Program. Needless to say...it didn't happen!

Two reasons:

1. My read-through has been a little more in-depth than my norm. But that's okay! It's helping me tighten this book up nicely!

2. My beautiful and loving wife bought me David McCullough's biography, The Wright Brothers! Now, as you know, I'm a student of history and a HUGE fan of the Wright Brothers, in particular. I'm finding this book to be every bit as informative and more attention grabbing than the 972 page biography I read about them back in the early 1970s.

3. I also received two Father's Day gifts that have taken up my time this past week. First was a DVD called The Winds of Kitty Hawk. Yes! It IS about the Wright Brothers!!! Second was a DVD set of the late-1970s Saturday morning cartoon Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle! Another favorite and perhaps one of the best adaptations of Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous character ever produced. Sadly, it was only Season 1. Hopefully, they will release Seasons 2 through 4 in the near future!

But enough about excuses. I'm about halfway through the read-through and gaining speed as distractions fall to the wayside. My (revised) plan is to get the novel submitted to the Kindle Scout Program this NEXT Friday!

In the meantime, my other e-books are available for folks on Amazon through my Amazon Author's Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney. Please tell your family and friends about them. My USAF Fire Protection brother, Charlie Butler, posted an awesome plug for Chaos on Terra-Prime on his Facebook page the other day! (Thank you, Charlie!!!)

Heatwaves, severe storms, and wildfires across the country! Political chaos around the globe! Let's be careful out there, folks! I'm starting to think Robert A. Heinlein's the Crazy Years are upon us.
