One week ago the pre order went live for-

In Defense of the Second Amendment

There were so many pre orders in that first day that Amazon added it to their promotional emails and put a BIG discount on the hard cover. And good news, if you’ve already pre ordered they will automatically adjust it to the new lower price.

It has hit some pretty crazy numbers so far-
#123 on all of Amazon
#289 in Kindle
#13 in Non-fiction
#4 in Politics
#1 in a whole bunch of different genres like Political Freedom, Ideologies & Doctrine, Federal Government, United States Government, Political Conservatism & Liberalism, etc. And in many of those, the book was at #1 while the Kindle was at #2.

So now is a great time to order some extra on sale hard covers for your friends, relatives, and all the fence sitters in your life. 🙂 Please tell, your friends. Preorders are super helpful and ensure a successful book launch. I’m hoping this one can actual move the needle with some people.

Sadly, when a new political book blows up like this you get a bunch of rip off scam artists trying to capitalize on it. The first one is real, and rest are scumbag grifters.

That is pretty amazing that they’re already done extensive analysis and reviews of a book that only me and the editors have read so far.

I have had several gun store owners contact me about buying bulk copies to sell in their shops. If you are interested leave a comment and I will give you the information for how to order direct from the publisher. They do discounts by the case.

I’ll be doing a book signing at the Layton UT B&N, from 6 to close, tomorrow night, Tuesday August 9th.

Steve Diamond, Dave Butler, and Brad Torgersen will also be there. Come by and say hi.

I’ve got a little thank you video at the link for all our backers-

That was an astounding run. We finished at $340,027, which is 7 times what we needed to fund the project!

The backers will be getting update emails through the Kickstarter as Everything Epic works on getting this awesome game out.

I just want to say that I was blown away by the response we got. You guys rock. I’ve got the best fans in the business. And I can’t wait for you guys to get some nifty miniatures. 😀

Okay, I’ve got to keep this brief because there is a crazy amount of stuff going on right now!

More heroes, more monsters, and the more people who back in the final hours I’m excited to see what else we can unlock. Remember, there will be no regular retail on this, so this is your chance. And the more of your friends you tell, the more cool free stuff we can add.

You guys are amazing. I am humbled by how well this has gone. I’ve got the best fans in the business.

Secret Gun Book Project

Yep, it turns out when you have studied a topic for 30 years, you can write a book about it in 30 days! The non-fiction gun/politics book project is almost wrapped up, and I will be giving more information about it soon. This is not an indy project, it is through a major non-fiction publisher. More details to come.

Thank you to all our supporters, this has been cranking along. And, good news, the special story that Steve wrote specifically for our WriterDojo backers will go out TODAY. (If you don’t receive it in the next 24 hrs, send me your email. Supporters@WriterDojo.com -Jack)

And I am happy to announce that we will be doing a WriterDojo panel at FenCon, with me, Steve Diamond, and Jack Wylder all together in person. Which should be a lot of fun.

Upcoming Books

My next release is No Game for Knights, the second anthology of sci-fi and fantasy noir short stories that I co-edited with the amazing Kacey Ezell. It comes out in September, but the eARC is available now from Baen.com. (https://www.baen.com/no-game-for-knights-earc.html)

My next book after that is Tower of Silence, 4th book in the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. I do not know the exact release date of that, but I believe it is 2nd quarter 2023.

I’d love to talk more, but I’ve got to go do some final edits.

We have stretch goals!

First up, everybody’s favorite stripper turned monster hunter, Holly Newcastle (I love writing Holly).

Currently we are $133k and moving steadily so almost to Holly. The next stretch goal will get revealed soon.

I am blown away by how awesome you guys are. The reception to this has been great.

I’ll be on Ethan Van Sciver’s livestream tonight (7 EST) talking about this kickstarter and other stuff. You can tune in at the ComicArtistProSecrets channel on Youtube tonight.
