If you're gonna bring people back..
Have gladiatorial-style arena combat. Bring back historical figures and make them fight to the death. Hitler and Napoleon Capone and Stalin Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan Abbott and Costello Mussolini and Walt Disney Patton and Eisenhower I'd buy it. |

Ever read "Guns of the South" by Turtledove? AK-47's during the Civil War turned the tide and the South did in fact win.  ETA: Guy above beat me by mere seconds..... |

Funny you mention that, I've got a couple I'm working on right now.
One is a fantasy/sci fi book about a man living in modern times that time travels in his sleep, but can only go forward in time. It's really a series of books I think, the first being his growing awareness that these are more than just dreams then as the books progress his using the power of foresight to affect things both good and bad. The other book I'm doing is a book about a very clever serial killer whose MO is to frame very respectable, upstanding people for his murders. Policemen, judges, doctors, etc. He's not as much about the murders as is the framing, ruining lives, etc. I'll let you know when i'm famous. hehe. |

My idea was to have a bunch or highly respected and honest cops go off the reservation at the end of their careers and knock over one of those gambling boats that are popular in Florida. They retire with no worries.

I am working on a few right now.
One is a DIY book to help the average homeowner complete simple remodels to gain value in their homes with a minimal investment and increase their skills with their hands (and add to the tool collection, of course ). I cover planning, materials, cost versus value, the proper use of tools and materials, and simple ways to make difficult looking jobs easier for first timers.The second is a science fiction novelette that can best be described as a cross between Space: Above and Beyond, Earth2, Steven Brust's Jhereg series, and The Chronicles of Riddick. Not really sure how else to explain it as I pyramid write, which is basically composing the ending, then the beginning, and allowing those to create the storyline complete with plot(s). Finally, I am putting quite a bit of effort into a Christian novel for those who suffer certain trials of faith. Not to provide answers, but to learn to ask the questions differently in a form of a self-help contextual understanding of the things that often pine the Christian faith and notch our beliefs with confusions. Hey, if I put these all together, I'd have a novel about a defunct Christian assassin in space trying to re-tile their bathroom. Hmmmm... |

In the process of doing one now. It has original poems and photographs (by me). Not Arfcom mainstream kind of stuff, though.

No, just something to discuss. If I had the ability to actually write a book and not make it sound like a 25 page police report, I have a couple idea's that are not listed,a nd would be in the non-fiction area. |

I keep thinking I'll write a book about my experiences with my late husband and his brain tumor. When he was sick, I was reading everything I could get my hands on with regards to cancer, but couldn't find one other than Lance Armstrong's book which really focused on brain cancer, and the effect it has on memory loss, dementia, loss of coordination, hallucinations, etc.
Not much out there for brain cancer that I could find at the time. Plus it would be good therapy, I think. Someday. |

I wrote one book, actually a manuscript (unpublished) but it is copyrighted (Conspiracy of Hate: The Shocking Truth About The Freemasons!), and I'm working on the second book, (untitled), is about a mid-life crisis banker that has a run-in with some 1%ers and a series of events that help him deal with his own problems in another way.

If I could have a wish, it would be to pull a team of extreme weapons and survival experts together and write a serious survival book against zombies and all manner of ARFCOM tinfoil hat type stuff.
I think I've hung my writing hat up these days though.

I actually have been working on a few books in my spare time.
I wrote a small guide on survival basics and printed out numerous copies for family and friends. Included was basic information on how to prepare for NBC terrorist attacks. I have done numerous works on human behavior analysis and social perception. And also relationship studies and theories of relationship structure. Also wrote some small comedy pieces. One was about crazy things people say. Another was about some of the off color poetry found scratched on the walls of the Men's room. And I have a fiction story started about a washed out detective investigating mysterious rural murders committed by a pyschopathic teenager. I love to write. But, I don't often take time to do it. |

I'm past the thinking stage. I've a 600 plus page single space manuscript that excludes a 27 page bibliography and a 25 page index. The subject is the black powder sharpshooter. These were the guys who dealt out death from afar in the days when blackpowder was the only propellant for lead. Think of the blackpowder sharpshooter as the functional equivalent of a sniper but equipped with a more primitive firearm. It was a lot more dangerous than a modern sniper in that blackpowder discharges a huge, visible cloud of white smoke, making return-fire by other sharpshooters or artillery a credible and dangerous counter.

I've been working on writing a disaster/SHTF book centered around some good original sci-fi, not the usual zombies, meteors, epidemics etc.
The main character is an arfcom type that is prepared and does things right. I'd have a parallel story invovling sheeple who get pwn3d. I think I will be able to start writing this as soon as I come up with a plot, characters, and some good original sci-fi. anyone have any ideas please IM them to me. (All ideas submitted become my intellectual property). |
