To Quote Charlie Brown..."ARGH!!!"

Well, I tried to ramp things up this past week and the only ramp I found was an off-ramp!

Very little writing although I've accomplished some mental plotting out of the next phase of the new novel. But not a lot "on paper". I've got to do better! The next week is going to be a wash as far as writing is concerned.

Why? I've got a wedding to go to!!! Gary and Stoni are getting married and Julie and I are getting things ready for the trip to Arkansas for the big event! 

But, I'll have lots of free time over the Christmas and New Years Holidays to make things happen with the new novel.

The Gears Are Grinding Along...Slowly

Yes, I'm still making headway on the new novel. 

And yes, it is moving along slower than grass growing. (But hey, we're heading into Winter and the grass won't grown then! What's that? You're...not...buying...that excuse? Yeah...me neither!)

Truth be told, I didn't feel much like writing last night, but I sat my gluteus maximus down at my computer and hammered out a pretty good draft of a page. Which means I'm a page closer to being done with the first draft! And I plan to do it again tonight...and hopefully tomorrow night (even following some oral surgery)...and the next night...and the next...

I'm pushing these new characters into the deep end of space with limited help and little hope. Still, if they have a little faith, I'll lead them on to victory (or at least their little part of it).


**********

I'm also gearing up for a major advertising push leading up to Christmas. Yeah, I know...how commercial of me! Charlie Brown and Linus will be so upset with me. But it IS an important part of an (self-published) author's job, if he or she wants to get their works in front of potential customers. And I DO need to get better at it if I wish to continue to sell my stories!

One frustration I've had with advertising on Facebook is that they don't like the images in their boosted ads to have too many words in them. Hello! I'm an author...I work in words! Covers usually have the author's name on them! Some books have sub-titles, too!

So, I've revised some of my cover images to create an image for FB that I can promote or boost and rely on the text in the post to handle that part of it. Wish me luck!

Time to Really Ramp Things Up!

Greetings Everybody,

Well, another Thanksgiving Holiday behind us and we're all well stuffed and looking forward to Christmas and New Years. I had a wonderful lunch with Julie and my father-in-law, Gary! Then, the boys and their wives and kids came over and we have a great evening together!

Now it's time to look to the future. It's going to be a busy time for me (and the rest of the family). We have Gary and Stoni's wedding coming up in about three weeks. And, of course, Christmas! 

**********

And I really need to work on the new novel as I just had another one added to the backlog behind it. So, I turn my thoughts back to Camadin Station and the heroes and heroines waiting there for my fleeting fingers to write their destinies. The last few weeks of recharging have not been fruitless. I've come up with some new ideas for the new novel so now it's time to begin applying those ideas to the story.

Starting December 1st I'll begin some advertising of the current e-books. Time to think of new e-books for your e-reader/tablet or to gift to family and friends. So let everyone you know (and you know who they are!) about my e-books. Check 'em out at my Amazon Author Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney.

Bummer of a Week!

Well, what a bummer of a week!

- Haven't felt well for a couple of weeks and it caught up with me. Big time!
- Too much to do and not enough oomph to do it all. 

So, I decided to take a little time to relax, unwind, and have some fun. Needed something to take my mind off of things and let me recharge the old creative batteries. Earlier this year, I enjoyed some time spent playing World of Tanks, so I downloaded the latest version of that game and have been having a (pardon the pun) blast!!!

Still, I need to get back to writing. I plan to start up again over the Thanksgiving weekend. I have some ideas I want to try out in the sci-fi novel. 

**********

I had a friend contact me today about the possibility of my existing military adventure novels being acceptable for Young Adults. I had to admit I didn't think so but I suggested something I have on tap for next year...a YA series set in and around Arizona in the 1880s. It will be an alternate reality/steampunk series involving a number of the well-know inventors of the time. I don't want' to say too much right now, though.

Still Making Headway!

Writing on the new novel has been hit or miss of late but I'm still making headway on it. Almost have the main character to the new big revelation in the story and a new jumping off point for the adventure. It takes awhile to get use to new characters, who they are, how they talk, etc... The older characters making their cameos are much easier to write. The difficulty with them this time is to show how they have evolved since their previous appearance AND keep them from becoming too important to the story.

I now have a working title (Last Stand at Camadin Station) BUT I've had some fresh ideas since that one:

Camadin Fleet
Task Force: Camadin
'Til the Stars Go Dark
'Til Dark Go the Stars

It's still a work in progress!

**********

We're coming up on Christmas next month! Amazon lets you give e-books as gifts to family and friends. Perhaps you'd like to gift some of my e-books this season! Check 'em out at my Amazon Author Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney.

The Best Laid Plans...

...of mice and men oft go awry. (To paraphrase Robert Burns! The original read: The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.”)

Well, damn! I DID get some writing in this past week. And I DID do a wee little bit of advertising. But NOT as much as I'd hoped to do with either. No excuses...it just didn't happen.

Still, my mind has been working on the new novel even if my fingers haven't been transferring those thoughts into my computer. And I'm still working on a title! Think I'm getting close though...


**********

Advertising...spending time not writing about (fill in genre here) to write about what I've written already. (Hey! There's a story in that somewhere...)

Please take a moment in your busy days to tell your family, friends, acquaintances, pool boys, bookies, auto mechanics, and other sundry personages about my stories. They are available through my Amazon Author's Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney. 

A reminder for those with Kindle Unlimited subscriptions, you can download and read my e-novels easily as part of your subscription!

Razzin', Frazzin', Rit-razz-ma-tazzin'...

Many years ago, Saturday morning cartoons introduced a character named Muttley. Now Muttley was a cartoon dog on a show called Wacky Races (1968) and was the sidekick of Dick Dastardly. Muttley was know for two things: 1) his wheezy snicker and 2) his grumbling at Dastardly that sounded to my youthful ear something like "Razzin', Frazzin', Rit-razz-ma-tazin'..." He used this whenever he was frustrated...and over the years, I've been know to mumble it myself once and awhile.

Well, I'm been mumbling it a lot this past week! I've had a lot of personal tasks to accomplish on top of not feeling my best, so not much really got done...especially in the writing and advertising departments. *Sigh* 

So, I've got my weekly advertising (almost) done this afternoon and hope to do some writing this evening. And I will try to do a little of both during the upcoming week!

Just a Short One...

Had a busy week at the office working on Essentials of Fire Fighting 7th and an equally busy weekend at the house doing some long over due chores. So this blog post is gonna be a short one!

**********

Work on the new science fiction novel is coming along well. Finished the first big space battle, put the hero in even more deadly danger, re-introduced a character from Death Haunts the Stars (with more to come later!), and set the stage for the next few chapters!

**********

Sales and KENP reads have slacked off this month, so I guess I need to do more advertising each night for awhile. Hey! Speaking of advertising:

My current library of e-books is available through my Amazon Author Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney. If you've read and enjoyed my stories, please let your family and friends know about them! Remember, if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can download and read my e-novels at no additional cost! (Don't worry, Amazon takes care of it authors in the KENP program.)


**********

Take some time and enjoy the wonderful Fall weather as it comes your way. The leaves on the trees here in Stillwater are starting to change color and that is always pretty!

Be safe!

This and That...and Then Some More!

Wow!

It's been a busy couple of weeks. Sadly, not much done on writing the new sci-fi novel OR advertising my current selection of e-books.

Julie and I have been doing some home renovation in preparation for her father moving to Stillwater and living with us. We finished our renovations on Friday and my father-in-law arrived yesterday evening.

**********

Now, one of the interesting things about doing physical labor is that it lets the brain do some thinking on other things. I had a sticky problem with the next step in the sci-fi novel that has been bugging me and it is important to moving the story forward. Somewhere in the middle of cutting some lumber or swinging a hammer, the answer came to me. (It also works when I'm driving long distances with music on!) So, as I begin a new week of writing, I have a means to move that story forward!

**********

As for advertising, I've got to spend some time on that as well. And you my friends (and avid readers) have always been a terrific source of opportunity for spreading the word about my e-books. So expect to see some adverts online this week and please share them with family and friends!

My current library of e-books are available through my Amazon Author's Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney. If you have a Kindle Unlimited Subscription, you can borrow and read the e-book at no extra cost!



**********

Over the next few weeks, I'll be busy at work with a number of photo shoots for Essentials of Fire Fighting 7th edition. Many thanks go out to the fire departments and personnel who assist FPP photographers with these photo shoots. We couldn't do it without you!

**********

Fall is starting to fall across the country! Enjoy!

Be safe out there!

Bit of a Scare and Some Future Delays

Had a very busy and kind of scary Friday. Visited my doctor that morning about a recurring issue with my left elbow. Found out it is tennis elbow. So he prescribed a tennis elbow band (which works great!) and a strong anti-inflammatory. Put on the band and took the medication and went about my day. Lots and lots to do.

Friday night I was visiting with the kids and I noticed my chin and lips were starting to tingle and grow number...then the lower part of my nose. And then the itching on my arms, legs, neck, and stomach began. Yep! I was having an allergic reaction to the medication. So off to ER where three anti-allergic reaction meds were administered. Sean met us at the hospital and the boys kept me company throughout the incident. Got to leave a couple of hours later!

So, no more of that particular anti-inflammatory for me...ever again!

**********

Julie's father will be arriving soon to visit then moving in with us in the near future. We feel we can provide him the assistance he needs to get feeling better and stronger. So...today I stand a little renovation project on the house to prepare a room for him. We'll be splitting our den (formerly a garage) into two rooms and fixing up one room as a bedroom for Gary, my father-in-law. I'll be working on that project in my off-duty hours for a couple of weeks so I may not get much writing done on the new novel. Family comes first!

**********

If you get a chance, tell your family and friends again about my e-books on Amazon! September was a good month, but not quite as good as August. Let's see if we can jump start sales in October and make it a great month! You've done it before and I know you can do it again.



**********

Fall weather is now upon us and I wish everyone a chance to get out and enjoy it. Wish Julie and I had time to visit Oak Creek Canyon and see the Fall leaves but perhaps another time.

Be safe!

More Shameless Self-Promotion

Greetings and salutations, one and all!

I'm going to keep this post short this week. Lots to do today and little time to accomplish it all.

Well, Fall is here and Fall weather is beginning to take effect! It's supposed to be real nice this upcoming week. Time for some serious photo shoots for Essentials 7th to take advantage of the cooler temps!

Quest for the Obsidian Blade is still on the back burner for now. The new science fiction book is coming along well. Not very fast but well. I've set the stage for the story and am about to introduce the main character AND throw the proverbial monkey wrench into the works. YAY! The fun begins!

Go out and enjoy this cooler weather!

Oops! I Missed a Week!

Greetings, my family and friends!

It looks like I skipped a week in blogging for which I must apologize. I got busy with life and let my writing take a back seat for awhile.

**********

On the work side of things, my projects have been hopping. With the weather starting to cool down somewhat, I'm gearing up for some significant photo shoots for Essentials of Fire Fighting, 7th edition. Two shoots this week and another next week to get the ball rolling again. And many more to follow in the months ahead.

Work on Industrial Fire Brigades, 2nd edition, proceeds apace. I'm compiling and editing chapters from Essentials 7th and overlaying the industrial information as necessary. We have an online meeting this week and another in a couple of weeks to work on two chapters.

**********

On the personal writing front, I've set aside Quest for the Obsidian Blade temporarily to begin work on another science fiction story that has been percolating in the old brain for awhile. Never fear, I'll get back to Quest in the near future. Meanwhile, the new story is set in the same universe as Death Haunts the Stars. Some familiar characters from Death will make short and important appearances in the new novel but they will not be the central characters for this story. I'm creating a new cast of characters and a new threat for this novel. No working title yet...I'm working on it!

**********

Sales and KENP reads for August were quite good. September is off to a slow start but I hold out hope that it'll be another good month. My e-books are available for sale on my Amazon.com Author Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney.

August Was Good but Let's Make September Great!

August was a good month! 19 books sold and over 17,000 KENP page reads! Mostly the new book, The Arizona State Guard: Freedom's Forge but also a number of the earlier ASGuard books and some Terra-Bravo Saga books as well. A great big THANK YOU! to everyone for helping make that happen.

September is getting off to a slow start but then again, so did August. Nothing the first few days but sales and KENP page reads are starting to come in. We'll make it up as the month goes along. In the meantime...

Work on the next novel has begun but is moving VERY slowly. I'm finding I need a little down time so I've been working on projects around the house and playing some Star Trek Online with a new character. 

I did come up with some new ideas I will add to the new novels outline tonight. And I've had another story idea pop up I want to get some notes recorded for later writing. So, once my advertising is done and Julie is off to work, I shall be at my computer typing away!

**********

Stillwater, Oklahoma, is a very interesting place to live. Hot and humid in the Summer; cold and damp (occasionally snowy and icy) in the Winter. Springs and Falls are often pleasant. We do get the occasional dust storm, wildland fire, or tornado... And earthquakes! Until recently, they were pretty mild but yesterday morning we had a 5.6 centered about 30 miles from the house. It was definitely the most severe and long lasting earthquake this Arizona boy has ever experienced. No damage to hearth and home but it did jangle some nerves!

Let's stay safe out there, folks!

Shameless Self Promotion!

Sales and KENP reads are coming along nicely this week. Folks are discovering The Arizona State Guard: Freedom's Forge, realizing that it is part of a trilogy, and are purchasing/reading the other two books in the series as well!

If you haven't checked out my e-books yet, now is the time to do so!

Chaos on Terra-Prime
Major Kent Morgan (USAF) and his younger brother, Captain Cord Morgan (U.S. Army), are stationed in South Korea when a new civil war breaks out in the United States. They and other Americans stranded in South Korea must battle their way home only to be caught up in the civil war at home. 

Foothold on Terra-Bravo
The threat of a growing Islamic Global Caliphate endangers the lives of every U.S. citizen and leads to an escape by some to another alternate Terra. There they must struggle to survive and create a foothold in a hostile environment…a world coming out of an ice age! 

Crisis on Terra-Bravo
The colonists face further dangers on their new world, Terra-Bravo, and the threat of saboteurs who came with them from Terra-Prime. 

The Terra-Bravo Saga - Volume 1 (box set)

Collects the first three books of the Terra-Bravo Saga into one volume. Priced at $5.97, you save a buck a book by buying the box set!

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! ($3.99)

The Arizona State Guard: Target Terror
Following the events of Bloody Border, Marcus and the other ASGuard troopers face new dangers! As the 2nd American Civil War continues to smolder between the United States of America and the People's Socialist States of America. Around the globe, the Islamic Global Caliphate is growing as nation after nation falls under their bloody control. And now, the IGC has the State of Arizona in its crosshairs! In Arizona, Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Roman and his fellow ASGuard troopers must defend the Grand Canyon State against a new threat...a terror plot developed by the Islamic Global Caliphate. Join LTC Roman and his troopers as they follow clues across the face of Arizona. Can the ASGuard solve the mystery of the radioactive watch and prevent the immediate death of thousands and the slow death of many, many more! ($3.99)

The Arizona State Guard: Freedom’s Forge
The time has come! The Islamic Global Caliphate has aligned itself with the People’s Socialist States of America and the drug cartels and rogue forces of Mexico. This evil alliance has one goal…the destruction of the United States of America. With the IGC in control of the East and West Coasts of the North American Continent and the northern territories of Mexico, the new U.S. in the center of the continent must prepare for total war on many fronts. Once more, the Arizona State Guard must stand between invaders and the citizens of the Grand Canyon State. Colonel Marcus Roman and his 1st Tactical Battalion, code-named Roman’s Legion, are on the frontlines of the coming battle. They stand side-by-side with their brothers and sisters of the U.S. Armed Forces to defend their nation! Together, they must pass through a forge of fire to defend freedom!

Death Haunts the Stars
In the early 23rd Century, Humanity is spreading out to the stars. Colonies have been started on many new worlds. The Terran Colonial Vessel Conestoga is one of many star vessels carrying hundreds of colonists to their new homes. But the Conestoga's latest voyage to the colony world Camadin is different! First, a number of dangerous incidents occur involving some of the crew of the ship. Then dozens of disruptive teenage passengers endanger the ship. When a passenger dies, questions arise about the cause. Captain James Rivers, Security Chief Mac Bradley, and the crew of the Conestoga face a seemingly endless series of threats aboard a ship that is light years from Earth. It appears someone aboard the Conestoga is trying to sabotage their mission! But who could it be? And what is their motive? As the danger increases, can Rivers, Bradley, and the crew stop Death from claiming the lives of everyone aboard the Conestoga?

Honing Your Instructional Skills
Why some instructors/teachers are more successful than others? How are they able to reach and inspire their students? What are they doing differently than their co-workers? How can you become a more effective instructor/teacher?

Honing Your Instructional Skills discusses nine areas that instructors/teachers can work on to improve their teaching. These topics are presented in short, concise chapters and in everyday language. Quick and easy to read, Honing Your Instructional Skills offers common sense approaches that can help instructors/teachers of all types and levels improve their teaching!
