I just finished posting my first story at another web site and have been granted permission to link to it.  It's called "Normal"

Normal - Grand58742

For those that don't have a Frugal Squirrels account, it's a free registration.  

I'd appreciate it if you could take the time to read over it and give me some feedback on here.

I have been banned at Frugal for a stupid reason and can't read it.

GREAT BOOK!!!  It was long took me a week to finish But i loved it!  I cant help but think this is right around the corner minus the attacks.  It just donst seem like it would take much for a financial meltdown and then I would wish i was at the "Dayfield Ranch"  Hell i wish i had i place like that anyway.  How incredible that would be to wake up everyday in such beauty!

what a pain in the neck registration process.

why not put your story where people can read it without having to go through so many hoops?

One huge reason is for all the formatting.  It took me close to 12 hours just to get it right over there when it was transfered from one forum to the next.  It wsn't a process I was too eager to start new over here.

Please don't throw it around on the net in Word just yet.  I've got a PDF file I just haven't gotten around to setting up, was kind of taking a break.  

I'll work on it tonight and see if I can get it ready.

ETA:  I now have it in PDF version.  Those wishing to get a copy, please send a message to me via the site.

Any teasers for the plot (like they have on book covers)?

Please post it here.  I don't agree with the Frugal site's owner on his negative views towards Christians so I refuse to get an account there.

Closest thing I can come up with is part of the prologue and a few ideas.


America, much less the world was unprepared for the events of the early 21st century.  After years of continuing debt and inflation, global political polarization and balkanization of nations around the world, conflicts in every region, devastation from Mother Nature the likes never seen before; the “civilized” world has a long fall ahead, nobody knew when, how or even if, but make no mistake, the fall would come like a meteor crashing into the earth.  With the world’s economies tangled together like fishing nets, one country could set in motion a series of events which would plunge the world into chaos.  One man did...

“It is time.”

Words that are spoken and the world suddenly changes. Devastating terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world brings about the collapse of society, helped along the way with ambitious politicians, religious fanatics and business leaders.  America is no longer what it used to be and the world follows.  A group of friends in Colorado have come together to escape the madness sweeping the planet in hopes to survive, but can they change quickly enough to the changing situation?  Follow their journey during the Fall as they attempt to make their lives normal again and stand as one against what the world throws their way.

I'm about 1/2 way through it now, and it's definitely worth the read.  

Thanks for posting the link, Grand.  I'll drop you an IM with some feedback when I get done....

Just finished reading it and thought it was fantastic.  It kept me turning the pages.  I'd be very interested to receive a copy on PDF if you're so inclined.

Sorry for not keeping up with the site, but my primary computer with the PDF copy is down right now.  When I get it back up, I will send off the copies to those who asked for it.

Just as a reminder, the entire story is posted here on ARFCOM in this thread for those not wishing to register on FS.

I can't make the link hot since for some reason I cannot go directly to the site anymore and have to go through a proxy server to post.
