Yay, Amazon Prime Reading. I'm reading between 4 and 7 books a week so I'd be poor or stuck with the library otherwise. |

My brand new book on the second amendment is officially published! Rules For Thee: How Gun Control Goes From "Just The Tip" To Full Blown "Hide The Sausage" https://a.co/d/7pYCZns Attached File Description: "Indulge yourself in the decadent justness of the modern defense implement. Not only are guns a protected right for those who choose to not leave their fate in the hands of criminals and/or authoritarians, they are categorically a massive net positive for our country as proven inside, courtesy of the CDC's own statistics. This book provides a current, non-nerd approach to making the irrefutable case for premium firearm technology in the hands of the People. Though the numbers demonstrated inside prove the efficacy of a freedom-minded, pro-gun society, the concepts exemplified are timeless and the logic unassailably solid. “Ah, that'll never happen here” has been the downfall of many individuals and many nations. Constitutional infringements bombard U.S. citizens from all angles. Gun control is a coup against the People and is deeply rooted in blatant racism that persists to this day- though insidious in application. “Gun Free Zones” aren't; only the “good citizen” abides by these magical imaginary boundaries, while criminals take advantage of the obedient. AR-15s, machine guns, suppressors, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, handguns, the ATF, the National Firearms Act, the Gun Control Act, and all other gun control is addressed through a lens of freedom. The games played with citizen freedoms are highlighted. There is an easy-to-follow prescription for the average, below-average, and above-average citizen to transform into a competent modern home/family/community protector, complete with self-paced training schedule and priority equipment list. What is happening, what is coming, and how to prepare intelligently are all solved unapologetically within this text." *Per MedicmanDan, this posting location is approved. |

I'm surprised no one mentioned this one yet. I read it; it was OK. Gave it to wife to read and she disliked both of them so much she soon quit reading it. |

First of all, it's highly dependent on your genre, second on how fast you can write and publish and third on how well you can market yourself and your books. There are romance and LitRPG writers who make millions of dollars a year. |

I just read the 1st and 2nd Texas Independence the last few days. When will the 3rd book be out? Now I am looking for something to read today. |

I will vouch for this guy, don’t personally know him, but the two books he has out so far are page turners. |

I've written and self-published several books that started out on the fiction forum in the AR15.com Survival Section. My stuff is mostly Survival/Prepper stuff or Dystopian Fiction. My latest book, Uncle Evans, just got "published" on Amazon. It was inspired by the riots and looting of the summer of 2020. I was living in Seattle at the time and got a master's level education on the protests and how the local authorities enabled them. Uncle Evans: A Fictional Tale of Anarcho-Tyranny in America  I'll have another "published" this month that the U.S. vs. CCCP issue, and how while we say we are in conflict/competition with China, a lot of our leaders are working with them hand-in-glove. |

First time poster...long time lurker. I just published a book on Amazon called "The Kingmaker and the Caliphate." The book dives deep into current events and twists them into its plot. The basic story line is that the United States has three fronts throughout the world (Ukraine, Israel vs Iran, and Taiwan). Meanwhile back in the homeland sleeper cells are spreading like wildfire because of the porous southern border. The military is shorthanded so the Pentagon reaches out to the Pope to borrow the legendary Kingmaker. He rebuilds the militias into several formidable Armies and waits for the green light to activate. Basically a large Middle Eastern force takes advantage of the situation and attacks a large city. There are several AR15 Easter eggs, beer drinking, militias, duels, and a large engagement with an enemy force. If you like those topics, this book will be a winner for you! |

I bought a book years ago by a writer here on arfcom... I enjoyed the book, read twice so far. https://www.amazon.com/House-Apache-Fires-Morgan-Jameson/dp/0692325883 |

Shameless plug, we allowed to do that here? Revolutionary: A Modern Sci-Fi Political Thriller by Eric Craft on Amazon. Revolutionary is hard science fiction set in the modern day. Explores what power truly is, and who should have it. |

I had a story on here quite a while ago. The title was Doing Time. I took it down when I was thinking about publishing. Stuff happened and I've done noting with 700 pages that seriously need editing. No page numbers either. Do any of our writers here use writing software? Scrivener? Thanks. |

It's just that your new book is buried on page 45 of amazon listings. You can have the greatest book of all time (mine is not) and not sell a single one on Amazon. |

Apologies in advance if this breaks the rules, but I'd like to add my name to the ranks of published authors. I have two short stories published in anthologies recently. In Fantastic Schools University is my first published story, "The Night Sedgwick's Spurs Saved West Point." Its the second to last story, i.e. barely made the cut! A cadet out to spin Sedgwick's spurs so he doesn't flunk out runs into a demonic attack. No social workers or grief counselors needed. In 2026 Cannon High Caliber Awards is the second story, "Vexation." A charming tale of an M1 Abrams crew in combat in the Ukraine. Cheers, HT |

I finally get to add one of my own to this thread. The Tempest Toss is Book 1 of the John Hunter Series—a military/geopolitical thriller involving a lost Cold War weapon, two nuclear missiles, and a traitor inside the wire. The U.S. Coast Guard reviewed the manuscript for operational accuracy, and Steven C. Smith, author of the Stonemont series, wrote the foreword. It’s available in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover: https://a.co/d/09g1SZyI I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from the ARFCOM crowd.
