Here is the cover and preorder link for my upcoming non-fiction gun/politics book.

In Defense of the Second Amendment

Coming January 24, 2023 from Regnery.

This is a subject I’ve been studying for about thirty years now. I’m a gun guy. My entire life I’ve been “gun culture”. I worked in the gun business, I was a firearms instructor, I was a competitor, and I’ve written some of the most viral blog posts about gun rights there are.

Things like my Opinion On Gun Control were the basis for this project. In that vein it is intended to give ammo to people who are already on my side of the debate, and also to sway the undecided. This is the book to pass on to the fence sitters, where I try to make the case that the 2nd Amendment is for all of us, and absolutely vital.

The 2nd Amendment is under assault. Congress just passed another idiotic gun ban, and now it is off to the senate. There is no topic that Americans are more passionate yet ignorant about. I’d like to help fix that.

EDIT: The preorder went live last night. Currently the hard cover is sitting at #175 on all of Amazon, and the ebook is #715 in the entire Kindle store. That is astounding for a book that doesn’t come out for 5 months.

EDIT 2: Last night the book got to some pretty amazing heights.
#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.

Our forbearing Hosts/Authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia so love our listeners that they will even hold their noses and wade into the Twitterverse to dredge up more bad writing advice to mock and ridicule for your amusement and edification.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Stephanie Osborn’s Division One: the Bounty Game

In Agent Omega’s worldview, certain things simply were not possible.

And the claim of this tall, imposing alien woman calling herself Myclestra, that she came from another universe, was impossible. Worse yet, Myclestra claimed to be a bounty hunter tracking an evil shape-shifting perpetrator who wielded real, powerful, world-shattering…magic. Not simple cantrips, but wizardry that could destroy a world…or a galaxy.

But as terrible as her perp was, it was the gigantic sword slung over Myclestra’s back that was the true threat to everything Echo and Omega strove to protect. A five-foot-long blade, forged from the heart of a neutron star, crowned with a hilt of fabulous gems and precious metals. A sword literally haunted by a spirit that could be the end of Galactic civilization in the entire Milky Way…and more.

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

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/everythingepicgames/monster-hunter-international-the-miniatures-game/posts/3570455

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. 😀

In this third part of a two part series, hosts/Authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia continue their discussion on how to best write action for maximum impact.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Lori Janeski’s Phoenix (The Carter Files Book One)

Humanity has colonized the solar system, but crime still doesn’t pay.

David Carter is one of the most decorated agents in the Interplanetary Police Forces, but for the last two years, he’s turned reckless, throwing himself into his work—or into the path of a criminal’s bolt pistol.

As a specialist in deception analysis and interrogation, Veronique de Tournay has been right where she wants to be: a profiler in the major cases bureau, Division 7. Unfortunately, the director has reassigned her to Special Agent Carter, and neither of them are happy about it.

After they stop a devastating attack on Mars, meant to kill thousands and cripple interplanetary travel, Carter and de Tournay discover evidence of other subversive attacks in the system. With time running out, the reluctant partners may be the only ones standing in the way of a conspiracy that stretches all the way from Luna to the Saturn Space Station.

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

Kickstarter Update

We are heading into the last 4 days of the Monster Hunter International miniatures game kickstarter from Everything Epic. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/everythingepicgames/monster-hunter-international-the-miniatures-game/description

We are at a whopping $229k right now and have been blowing through stretch goals. Just take a look at all the awesome stuff we’ve unlocked-

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/everythingepicgames/monster-hunter-international-the-miniatures-game/posts

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.

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.

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.
