<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Dear Readers,</span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">A lot has happened
since I last contacted you. This email has several notices and updates. Please
take the time to read them all so you’ll know what’s going on.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Book 9
Release Date and sample</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">First, the promised release
date for book 9 is March 29<sup>th</sup>. I tried hard to get it to you sooner,
but this was the best I could do. The link below goes to my website page, where
you can find the links for your preferred store.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://authorangelawhite.weebly.com/law-book-9.html"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;"><span style="color: blue;">http://authorangelawhite.weebly.com/law-book-9.html</span></span></a></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Also, I posted the
first 100 pages of book 9 a couple weeks ago on my blog. You can find the post here:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://authorangelawhite.blogspot.com/2017/02/life-after-war-wednesday.html"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;"><span style="color: blue;">http://authorangelawhite.blogspot.com/2017/02/life-after-war-wednesday.html</span></span></a></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">A
Reminder</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Second, is a reminder
that my autographed paperbacks have been on sale for the last year ($10 less
than usual) and that is expiring this month as well. To get the old deal before
it’s gone, order from this page on my blog. This is the only remaining link for
them.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://authorangelawhite.blogspot.com/p/paperbacks-and-audiobooks.html"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;"><span style="color: blue;">http://authorangelawhite.blogspot.com/p/paperbacks-and-audiobooks.html</span></span></a></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Kindle
Unlimited</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Next is something that
you may not want to hear. Let me start with saying I’m sorry. I can’t explain
how hard this choice was. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’m joining the
Amazon Select program</i>.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">What does
that mean?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">It means that all
Angela White books will now only be offered through Amazon. You won’t be able
to get them through Kobo, Nook, iTunes, or any other store except Amazon. No,
not even on my blog or websites.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">How will it
affect readers?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">If you already get my
work through Amazon, nothing will change. If you get my books through any other
source, you will no longer be able to use them.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">When does
this start?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">It already has. The
final links will all be gone by the end of the week.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">What if I
want to get caught up before you remove your books from my preferred retailer?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">I’ve made a page on my
website that has all of the remaining links on other stores. It will be pulled
as soon as the remaining links are gone-roughly by the end of the week. All my
titles have been discounted to $3.09 or less to help ease your pain during this
transition period. Here is the link to the page:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://authorangelawhite.weebly.com/remaining-live-links.html"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;"><span style="color: blue;">http://authorangelawhite.weebly.com/remaining-live-links.html</span></span></a></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">I’m not
buying a Kindle! What should I do to keep following the series?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Amazon has an app that
you can download onto your device (nook, iphone, tablet, etc.) so that you can
access their entire bookstore. I have placed that link on all my book pages,
along with a link for joining the Kindle Unlimited program. It gives you
unlimited reading of their inventory (more than 2 million titles and counting)
for $10 a month. The Harry Potter series and the Hunger Games are just two of
the bigwigs you’ll find.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">I need to tell you here
that I’ve just become an affiliate of Amazon, so any links you click on my
website (never emails. That is against their terms of service) may generate a
small commission for me. If you refuse to do that, no hard feelings. I
certainly understand and I still adore you. If you chose to use those links,
thank you for your support!</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">What
about books that I have preordered?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">All preorders will
still be sent like promised, as soon as they are ready. For example, those who
have preordered book 9 directly from me can most likely expect to receive it in
their email a week before it goes live on the stores.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">What
about future releases?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">All future releases
will be put on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">all</b> stores for the
first month, to allow current readers to stay caught up. After a month, they
will be moved to the Select program as well. *This does <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">not</b> include Smashwords or GooglePlay. My work will not be on those
sites.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Why are
you doing this? Don’t you know you’re going to lose readers over it?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">I do know that. I’ve
gone to great trouble to find ways for readers to still have access, but I
understand that many of you will be angered over this and probably put me on
your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never read again</i> list. You may
place bad reviews, pull public support, and bash me in blogs and articles. I
feel your pain. I feel your loss. I will miss each and every one of you.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">So, why?</span></b></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">Imagine having to pick
between paying your bills and be loyal to your customers. In the end, you have
to be able to pay those bills. Ebook sales have dropped drastically. Why? Hard
to say. Lot of reasons would be my theory, but at the top of those are programs
like KU. Giving readers tons of books for one small monthly fee is the wave of
the future. Readers can get access to so much material on Amazon that they’ll
be on overload.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">And that means they
aren’t buying anymore. They’re still reading, just through plans that save them
money and give them more books. It’s a win-win for Amazon and their readers,
imao, but it hurts the authors who were trying to spread their work out to all
sites and stores. It squeezed us. So hard that huge book sites went belly-up
and big authors caved to the pressure of becoming part of the subscription
plans. In short, authors no longer have a choice. If we depend on the income,
we have to stay with the times. Most people want these subscriptions. I’ve held
out for almost 2 years, but I must now cave to the pressure and give the majority
what they want. I won’t ever forget that readers from every site came together
to support me. I just can’t feed my family on good wishes, you know? I’m sorry.
I really am. I do hope you’ll join me for the second half of the LAW journey on
Amazon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">And finally, I have
created 2 ‘pins’ on Pinterest that I would like you to consider browsing. The
first is a missing persons pin. Did you know that 100,000 people go missing
every year in the US? Neither did I. If we can bring home even one of these
missing kids, moms, or dads, it’s a great thing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 15pt;">The second ‘pin’ is a
job set. Each morning, I go out and find a recent post from the USA that is
hiring full time with benefits (Please read the job fine print for yourself to
be sure. Things change) and one of them might be the opportunity you’re
searching for. Or just a way to pay the bills. I certainly understand the need
for that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope it helps some of you
realize those dreams. Here is the link:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia Quest Reporting</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"><strong>June 11<sup>th</sup>, 2013</strong></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"><strong>Will We be the Last Americans in this Country?</strong></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">That was some mandatory camp meeting, huh? My brain is still
spinning. Talking about leaving our country and sacrificing our little girls really
drives in the reality that all Americans are in deep trouble, even those who
think they can outlast nature. That sinkhole fiasco almost cost us nine
children. The bat attack wiped out a previous generation of elderly that could
have continued to pass down wisdom. The sicknesses that hang over this land
will come for us eventually, and of course, starvation is always on the
horizon. We must face the truth. We are being exterminated. What’s worse? The
measures we will take in our vain efforts against the inevitable will change
our culture and freedoms long before the apocalypse finishes us off.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">What do I mean by that? Look at the meeting choices. We’re
about to condone child abuse in order to ensure there are Americans still on
this soil seventy years from now. When we do this, we will be forever changed
and no amount of rebuilding will allow recovery. Children should not have
children.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">What alternative do we have? I assume there are more survivors
out there. We need them. Let’s encourage new people to join us rather than to
ruin the lives of our kids because of what may or may not come in our lifetime.
Adrian, our gracious host, doesn’t think we should stay out of the natural
order of things, but we’ve all seen and felt what happens when humanity insists
of playing God. We get screwed.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Was that meeting a big show, a lie? I’d like to say yes, but
I can’t. I did a quiet count during the research for this interview. What I
found was almost exactly what we were told. Out of every four people who come
to this refugee camp, only one is a female and there is a 30% chance that she
will be too old, too young, or too sterile to breed. If those numbers don’t
rise, and quickly, we may very well be the last Americans in this country. I
would personally like to ask every woman in Safe Haven to get pregnant immediately,
but I only found the time to talk to three. Here are our exchanges:</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> “Thank you for agreeing to talk to me. I’d like to ask you
about the new rule of 15 for couples, and if you see yourself having a child
anytime soon.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Nancy:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> “15 works as long as there are evaluations and classes. It stinks
that we have to do it, but Americans have been through rough times before. We’ll
get through this.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> “And children?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Nancy:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> “I’m not sure. My views on kids aren’t good right now. How
can I be a mother when I’m not sure if I’ll be alive tomorrow?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> So you don’t see yourself having kids until we reach the
mountains?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Nancy:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> “If then, honestly. Our safety isn’t carved in that stone.
I’d probably wait for the island.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> Thanks for coming. Comfortable?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Tracy: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">No.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> I’ll get right to it, then. As one of the camp…relief
sources, have you ever considered settling down and having children?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Tracy: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Not until last night. Now, that’s all I’m thinking about.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> Why?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Tracy: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Well, I like my life, but I love my country. I think I could
be a mom, but I have to be an Eagle first, so I can keep the kid alive and
cared for it, you know? It’s a rough world out there.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> I agree. How do you feel about the age being lowered from
16 to 15?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Tracy: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">I hate it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> Wow. That’s surprising, considering what you do on your
down time.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Tracy: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">No, it isn’t. Becoming sexually active that young hurt me
and ruined the future I could have had. I want the age to be 20.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> Sorry to bother you. Can I ask how you feel about last
night’s meeting?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">We’re changing. We might be leaving. It won’t feel like
America soon.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> Do you agree with the age line?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">

husband before the war.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> “You had children?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Janet: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">I lost my family on December 23<sup>rd</sup>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> I’m sorry. Will you have more children at some point?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Janet: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Never.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> Why not? We need kids.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Janet: </span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">I need my sanity more. I couldn’t look at a baby and not be
in misery every day over the three boys I lost. They were everything to me.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Cynthia:</span></b><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;"> So you won’t-</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">As you can see, the women of Safe Haven have different
opinions on the new age, but on procreating, they are in complete<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>agreement. No kids right now and probably not
at all. That’s three of three, folks. If the other 34 women who can have kids
feel this way, that drops last night’s number down to extinction levels with
two generations.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Scared yet?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">So am I.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Hello! Welcome to Life After War Wednesday! For this week, I
decided to give you the first 100 pages of book 9. You’ve been very patient and
this will at least provide an hour or two of new material. I hope you enjoy it.
Please keep in mind that it is a draft, which means it isn’t polished and is
subject to change.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">There are now updated
copies of all 8 current LAW books! Thank you, Betas and Readers who donated
their valuable time to help me. I’d also like to say an extra thank you! to
Jeanne, Jan, Jeff, and Shawndra, who have never failed to turn in a file.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">I fell behind on
both of them after a nasty plumbing issue (Whatever you’ve just imagined, multiply
it by 3 weeks.) and editing warnings from Amazon. The Betas and I, along with others,
had already been working on it, but with the open tickets, I had to step up cleaning
the backlist and there simply wasn’t time for anything else. I’m very sorry. I
know you’re tired of hearing that, tired of waiting. These two titles have been
up for preorder for a while now. They are also the last preorders that my blog
and sites will host. I honestly just have too much trouble meeting those
deadlines. I can’t force other parts of this process to go faster and I can’t
make my own process go quicker, so there really isn’t a solution other than no
more preorders on here. You’ll all get future files as soon as they’re ready
for release. Anyone who would like a refund on a current preorder need only
email me at the above address, no questions asked, and again, I’m very sorry,
really. I’ll get both of those books out just as soon as I can. I’m back in
business now, I think, and starting Monday, will be devoting all my working
hours to the new material again.</span></div>

find the answers to access.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Someone tell
the rookies a story,” Edward instructed, taking inventory of his gear. They
shared everything equally and it made it easy to keep track of their supplies.
If he had a week of rations, so did everyone else in the group. Paul had often
screwed that up by eating between the set meal times and then begging for
scraps while Alexa tried to eat. They’d shut it down when she gave him her
meal, taking his food and water so that he couldn’t freely graze. Now that the
rabbit was gone, some of the trek would get easier.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The rookies,
Jacob and David settled back eagerly to listen. The other three men exchange
glances that were hesitant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“If I have to
pick it, all the little details will come out,” Edward warned, repeating
Alexa’s words to him when she’d wanted his voice telling a tale.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The three senior
men frowned, shifting uncomfortably. All the stories contained failures on
their part. They’d been new to Alexa’s way of doing things and accidents had
happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I traveled with
Safe Haven.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Five heads
turned to Billy in shock. Even Edward hadn’t known.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Billy leaned
back against the wall and began rolling a smoke. “I took a mission to find
someone and bring her to her father.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Now there was complete
silence and no one looked away as a distant scream confirmed Alexa’s location.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I was told it
would take years and it has. I needed it to,” Billy explained without embarrassment.
“By the time I make it back, the girl I want will be old enough, safe enough,
for me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“You’re from
Safe Haven?” Jacob questioned, stunned. “And you didn’t tell anyone?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I told the only
person I need to,” Billy replied without getting defensive. “She told me to
decide on my own about revealing it.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Why now?”
Edward asked curiously.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Because she’s
sick,” Billy answered, glancing around as if for confirmation. “She needs us to
be together and we can’t if there are secrets this big. I feel bad for keeping
it so long. I’m sorry.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Billy’s
humbleness drew a groan from the corner. “I wish you hadn’t said that.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">They all looked
to Mark, who shook his head.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Guess I should
mention something too, then. I, uh. Well, I killed the President. It’s what I
was in the slam for.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The door opened
and Alexa came in, pale and unruffled in the firelight. She closed the door and
removed her clock. “As you were,” she ordered when the silence stretched out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Heads went back
to Mark-even Billy, who had thought he held the largest of their private
torments, their secrets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Edward motioned
to Mark, “Can you say that again?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Mark cleared his
throat. “I killed the president.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Mark ignored the
surprised mutters and scowls. It was only the second time he had ever spoken
the words and liberation was still a new, exciting emotion to be controlled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Why?” Jacob asked.
Mark was the one he admired the most in this group.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">It was what each
of them, except for Alexa, wanted to know and the silence hung while he searched
for the words.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I couldn’t
stand the thought of it all restarting,” Mark stated. “At that time, I didn’t
think there was any way it could be better and I was so angry! The people I
worked for were destroying the world and there wasn’t anything I could do about
it. Then the war came and the president was gone. Replaced by succession and
yet, it wasn’t going to be different. The next puppet was going to stand on the
backs of those who came before, and keep ruining everything. And I had the
thought that if there wasn’t a president anymore, then maybe that could
change.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Mark peered at
Alexa, who was still removing things from the cloak she’d hung up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I was a secret
service agent on the new president’s detail. I smothered her while she slept.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“You’re talking
about Marsha Binton,” David exclaimed. “She was next in line for the presidency
when Carter died.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Yes,” Mark
confirmed. “She wanted to make slavery legal-especially males. She said we were
a danger to everyone.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“She wasn’t
wrong,” Alexa pointed out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“No,” Mark
admitted, glad when Alexa came over and sat down close to him. “But I’m a man.
I couldn’t let that happen. She had to die.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Alexa placed her
hand over his and gently told him,” Murder is wrong. You murdered her. That was
very bad.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Mark’s head
dropped and Alexa squeezed in comfort. “We’re all killers here, of one kind or
another. You spent years locked up in payment for that crime. Do you feel like you’ve
been punished enough?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“No.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Alexa sighed
tolerantly. “Then so you shall suffer more. No one here can forgive you until
you forgive yourself.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“How can I?”
Mark demanded. “I murdered her!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Yes, and would
you do it again?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">He shook his
head. “Never. She was only a pawn. I would have gone higher and found those in
charge of pulling the strings. And I would have murdered them.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“That would have
been an act of the bravest kind,” Alexa corrected. “Take off the head, my pets.
Without a head, the threat is no longer a threat.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Alexa glanced
around. “Does it bother you to know this about him?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">All the heads shook.
Each of them had their own weakness, their own failures to atone for. Edward
especially understood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Good. Murder,
like all other things, has a place in the world. If he had removed the head, he
would be a hero. Because he cut off a tooth, he was a convict. The line between
hero and convict can be that thin, but there is a line. We will attempt to always
stay above it, but when we have to, we will abide by our own guidelines instead
of those around us. Nothing will keep us from this mission.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello! Next week, there will be 2 releases. I’m sorry that
Marc and Dog wasn’t ready for you today. This time next week, you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">will</i> have it. After the beta readers
went through the file, I felt that I needed to tighten a few areas. Please excuse
the delay. I just want it to be worth reading, you know?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">To my wonderful betas and fact checkers: You ladies and gents did an
amazing job in a short time. I’m deeply grateful. When the Createspace file goes
live, I’ll be contacting all of you for an address to send your free
autographed paperback!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is what I was working on last month. Hope you enjoy the
sneak peek!</span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shattered Dreams</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Angie?” Marc tapped lightly on the truck window. “We’re ready to
roll.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Angela groggily fumbled for the lock button to open the
door. She’d followed his instructions.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marc tried to smile at her. She looked rough. “You did
well.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Angela leaned back against the seat, not feeling much
physically or emotionally. Everything was just blurry.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marc climbed into the driver’s seat as her guards went to
their vehicles. After Angela’s show of force, the meal had been very peaceful,
with the new descendants eating three times as much as the Eagles.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Good,” Angela murmured.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">There’s a flash of
soul</i>, Marc thought. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She’s glad
they’re getting a great meal, and that their people won’t starve this week.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Angela turned her head away so that Marc couldn’t see her
expression. She had a few more miles before they would be out of Eva’s range.
Not that the train leader was still scanning. Eva and her convoy were
hightailing it back to their shelter as fast as they could. Eva was scared for
her life.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She should be</i>,
Jennifer sent<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. I want to go after her.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Angela pretended to considered it. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But we just made an agreement. How would you justify that?</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">She is a dangerous
threat to every American. She needs to be removed.</span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">I agree, but we cannot
remove them all. Let her be. If she sticks to her word, so will I.</span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unable to take much more of this farce, Angela dropped her
shields and let the grayness claim her. In here, her mind was protected by the
fog.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marc approved the choice. Eva might not be scanning Angela,
but he was. Eva didn’t know her the way that he did.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Let her be!</i>
Jennifer snapped, causing Marc to flinch at the accompanying sting. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She needs peace. Another argument about your
lost child will NOT help.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marc snapped down on a nasty reply. Jennifer was right. It
was done. There was no going back, and accusations would only make things
worse.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Angela sighed in relief, glad for the comfort of the fog,
but even more grateful for Jennifer’s loyalty. She didn’t know if the teen was
playing a perfect role or if her timing was just great, but it allowed Angela
to sink the rest of the way into the darkness to sleep.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marc slowly shifted so that her head lolled against his
shoulder and stayed there, supported.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I got your back, baby-cakes. I always will, even when I
don’t agree with you.”</span></span></div>

Replacing equipment while sailing through space was difficult and after so many trips, this vessel was far from prime condition.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdJ20NVa_rE/V4aPnaRoBRI/AAAAAAAAFB4/m4PLic7L4CoT3a21xX1FzdWaGI8EpJcngCEw/s1600/bigstock-Spaceship-Breaking-Orbit-114840560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdJ20NVa_rE/V4aPnaRoBRI/AAAAAAAAFB4/m4PLic7L4CoT3a21xX1FzdWaGI8EpJcngCEw/s200/bigstock-Spaceship-Breaking-Orbit-114840560.jpg" width="150" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Today’s lesson will complete your required decade of educational service.

He wasn’t impressed with this generation. “Before you go on to fulfil the roles that reproduction provided, you will be given details about the HOP worlds. You cannot decide the future of this program without first understanding what it is.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-plLL9VKDsIw/V4aQimS1veI/AAAAAAAAFCA/Bz-k5tmNTpARfwuWKqamhFr4nYNBvN-2gCLcB/s1600/bigstock-Creation-Of-Earth-49944848.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-plLL9VKDsIw/V4aQimS1veI/AAAAAAAAFCA/Bz-k5tmNTpARfwuWKqamhFr4nYNBvN-2gCLcB/s320/bigstock-Creation-Of-Earth-49944848.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Coyle motioned toward the screen where a blue and green planet hung in space without any idea that its sole existence was only as an experiment. Now that it had outlived the usefulness that had allowed such a creation, the test subjects had to be disposed of. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Hop-17 is a failure. There were no signs of Origin, other than what we had previously documented on other experimental worlds. Though this planet maintained isolated eras of peace through its history, the inhabitants now exist in a constant state of warfare. The true nature of humanity has once again smothered all hopes of an enlightened society forming. None of the religions implanted here were successful, but the field was contaminated by</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">piloting errors, rebels to the Federation, and space criminals who abducted the inhabitants for their own experiments. Most of the technological and medical advances on this world have been attributed to extraterrestrial influences. During the last cycle of our Congressional voting, Earth was officially scheduled for A.R. The asteroid that these so-called Earthlings named Apophis will be employed for this duty. You are the last Learners who will ever have this view.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Many of the twenty-one students murmured quietly at the revelations. Some also leaned forward to peer in fascination at the vivid ball in the magnified window of their ship. Only those about to assume roles of importance in their society were taken to the far reaches of the universe. Over the last decade, this group of children had visited untold solar systems to fulfill the requirements for their careers. Some of them had gone the full decade between parental visits, which meant their young minds had been formed by Federation guidelines and it made Coyle uneasy. He also didn’t like all of the stiff black and white uniforms glaring at his own pale gray mark of the sterile scientists.

It clears dangerous or contaminated worlds from the universe before any of them can become a threat to us. It does this without revealing our presence, as required by Federation law. So far, Congress has chosen to remove sixteen such planets over the last forty thousand years. This will be next, thus the sub-title of HOP-17. The Human Origin Program does not end these experiments lightly. It now takes more than a century of deliberations and billions of examples as proof of their unfitness to exist.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Td9mXPCFDdU/V4aPksYV4LI/AAAAAAAAFB0/KWni6vTCF7kiSwviAehtm-5m4F7stWkMwCEw/s1600/bigstock-woman-escape-from-human-clonin-12118745.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Td9mXPCFDdU/V4aPksYV4LI/AAAAAAAAFB0/KWni6vTCF7kiSwviAehtm-5m4F7stWkMwCEw/s320/bigstock-woman-escape-from-human-clonin-12118745.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Professor Coyle switched carefully to the next slide. “This is the small group of people from 17 that have been chosen as re-seeders for the next HOP world.</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">These specimens will be cleansed of physical flaws and dropped onto a fresh planet, where nature will allow them to mate and populate that planet.

None of the other classes had ever questioned him. These HOP lessons were supposed to be unmonitored, but parents usually warned their kids to be quiet. Things had gotten ugly between the two ruling factions of the Federation.</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Scientists, who held an equal share of the ten judicial seats, wanted the HOPs to continue until answers were found. The Legislators, who held a powerful advantage in their ability to breed, didn’t. They wanted to launch a new program where all station inhabitants, American and other, would resume living on planets.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_2_hHB45A2A/V4aSCLBfEpI/AAAAAAAAFCI/E2hcTI5mQOMOgMVBmaQqV6RXh9ZxWpeogCLcB/s1600/bigstock-Fantastic-Woman-Using-Virtual--55929713.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_2_hHB45A2A/V4aSCLBfEpI/AAAAAAAAFCI/E2hcTI5mQOMOgMVBmaQqV6RXh9ZxWpeogCLcB/s200/bigstock-Fantastic-Woman-Using-Virtual--55929713.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Will they remember anything?” Amanda inquired. “The reseeders, I mean.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Only an incredibly bright light, and then a large bang.

Amanda would follow her outspoken parents into legislative affairs and disrupt things there, many assumed. Coyle simply wanted her to come away from his class understanding that there were two sides to every story, and one of them was almost always a lie.</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bRT-S4hQJMo/V4aSFEFmTSI/AAAAAAAAFCQ/Bd6lOsB-Ik4hJfQdrxtJBOFx4ivZEN9JACEw/s1600/bigstock-Mass-extinction-doomsday-event-80830616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bRT-S4hQJMo/V4aSFEFmTSI/AAAAAAAAFCQ/Bd6lOsB-Ik4hJfQdrxtJBOFx4ivZEN9JACEw/s200/bigstock-Mass-extinction-doomsday-event-80830616.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Is it right?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“What do you think?” the professor guided. The other students were mostly still eyeing the frozen pods on the screen, but this was a lesson for all of them and they were listening.</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I’m not sure,” Amanda answered without shame or defense. “I support all life being left alone to die or flourish on its own, as my family always has. I also agree with the Scientists that we must have answers to have true peace. But I also think the rebels are right about it being hurtful and a lost cause to try to control human nature at all. I was sent here to be educated on those things, but all of those views have only grown stronger.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sxsQIbU2oew/V4aTD9FGYCI/AAAAAAAAFCY/fTbcjXTvF9sUSH-nmM12Quhw6xE3EoVSwCEw/s1600/bigstock-Beautiful-cosmos-in-space-ship-106456109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sxsQIbU2oew/V4aTD9FGYCI/AAAAAAAAFCY/fTbcjXTvF9sUSH-nmM12Quhw6xE3EoVSwCEw/s200/bigstock-Beautiful-cosmos-in-space-ship-106456109.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Yes,” Coyle agreed, turning the screen off to give them a star-filled window into space again. “It has taken much longer for Congress to declare Earth the seventeen extinction planet. We had reason to believe, at first, that the results here would be different.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Because the others were done without consideration for the subjects?” Amanda confirmed.</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Coyle was impressed to see that the girl’s repeated questions were drawing the other students back into the conversation. She had her father’s magnetic personality, but without his need to wield it so heavily.</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“No, though the first few were destroyed sloppily. We developed the asteroid removal system to be more merciful when it was time to end an experiment.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r_I4nPBR5bQ/V4aUp1-wpaI/AAAAAAAAFCs/dNmMga2Zq9IR8crYNwzXnanWhvL3v_lPwCLcB/s1600/-wheel-near-Earth-89063705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r_I4nPBR5bQ/V4aUp1-wpaI/AAAAAAAAFCs/dNmMga2Zq9IR8crYNwzXnanWhvL3v_lPwCLcB/s200/-wheel-near-Earth-89063705.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Professor Coyle hadn’t missed the implication that he alone held the responsibility of convincing Amanda of which choice to make. He’d known that when he found her name on the class registry. Amanda would be joining the Coalition council as her father’s heir when this trek was over. Two years after that, she would fill his seat and likely be the most powerful person to ever control the universe. Like her parents, Amanda was expected to push through reform that the scientific half of the council didn’t want. Coyle’s job as ranking scientist on the program was to convince the girl to keep going with the next experiments that would happen under her reign. The professor had been trying the entire time they’d been visiting these HOP worlds, but with each lifeless planet, the girl’s eyes had only grown more glazed with hatred. No matter what came from her mouth, she had already made up her mind and he knew it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Coyle had also. He believed they needed answers, but by teaching their kids to search for them this way, Coyle often felt like he was carrying a weight that he could never remove. If there were a God or Hell, he would surely burn for his participation in something so inhumane. Until then, he owed his life to the council, and he would do his duty. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Please turn to page 1 in the restricted guides.

I will have a surprise release out. Please check back for more details or
signup to be notified by email (top right of this blog). I will also have a
release in late August. That one will go up for preorder soon on the big sites.
During that timeframe, there will also be a rerelease of two edited backlist
titles, as well as new paperbacks. The next two months will see lots of
material out there for fans. Thank you for being patient, btw. I really
appreciate it!</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered how a writer came up with an idea,
scene, or story? You might be tempted to think their mind just spit it out in
the condition that you saw or read it, but don’t be fooled. Good writers plan
the scenes and plot those exciting threads. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Great</i>
writers plan each part out using layers. Let me explain. Every story is
supposed to have a few basics:<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer One</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Someone to love</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Someone to hate</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Friction or bonding between characters</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Verification of personalities and choices</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Influences from secondary characters, environment, and
social situations</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">A start, middle, and ending of some sort.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer Two</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Now we’ll add on a layer for the genre of book. Let’s go with
horror, so we need:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Moments that produce horror</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Moments that lead to producing horror</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Horror aftermaths.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">We also have to have verification of choices during horror,
including, but not limited to:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Scenery</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Weapons and gear</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">food and water</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Shelter and warmth</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Medical care</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Flight or fight mentality</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Communication</span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer Three</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, we’ll go into the light details. To be horror, the mood
has to be scary.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Giggling is discouraged.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Grins need to be changed to uneasy stretches of lips.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">In horror, weather often plays an important role, so we have
to be sure we match the scary mood. Children outside playing happily in water
sprinklers will distract the reader/viewer from the scare they are about to
get. It bursts the tension that we’ve built.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Our bad guy has to react properly to the characters. He has
to be believable as in his motivation and methods</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Our good guy has to be believable as in his dialogue and
methods. His motivation (fighting the bad guy) should be obvious.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer Four</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">A fourth layer must go on now to keep track of all these
threads. For example, if you have a snowstorm one day, you must make sure the
cold is mentioned and there is still snow the next day unless it rains or
floods or the sun sets directly on your iceberg. Details must be verified.
Readers hate it when you screw up and have the same character in two places at
one time. (I’m so sorry!) It was a simple name error, but it makes you look
like an idiot. I call this layer the ‘make sure I’ve got them all where they
should be’ layer.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer five</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">For the fifth layer, we have to be sure we’re giving
conclusions. All the above items gave us potential threads to be followed and
finished. People hate to be left hanging, unless it is a series, and even then,
writers are supposed to tread carefully. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All those small moments that were set up have
to be finished. Again, series are different, but even in those, a writer must
eventually conclude that thread.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer Six</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">For the sixth layer, we have to explore the main them of the
book. We ask ourselves 7 basic questions about the story:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Is there enough action?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Is the dialogue appropriate for the character and situation?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Will the reader understand?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Did the character have a good reason for reacting that way?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Was the scene boring?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Is the setting clear and appropriate for the scene?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Does the scene move the story along or is it just fluff?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Layer Seven</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">The final layer, for the writers who have the energy left,
is to ask, of each and every scene or plot thread:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">How can I make it better?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">What if I changed, switched…</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">The Next Step</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Now that we have put together the 15-35 page <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">draft</i></b>
using the seven layers above, the author is finally ready to write the stories
you love. It can be exhausting, even on shorter works. That’s why it takes so
long. The tales don’t spit themselves out in full form. Writers shape them into
cohesive, coherent (we hope!) tales that might last forever. Then we sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

They pick one or two genres and stick with them. Over the years, I've noticed this more and more. It is very hard to get someone who reads, say thrillers, to consider horror. Same with romance readers. They love them and seem to prefer little else. Fantasy people even fit this, as they generally pick the same settings or basic plot threads. Same with science fiction readers. Try to get one of them to read a romance. Go on, I dare ya. I've also spotted this trend in movies and music. People generally pick a couple of favorites and then close themselves off to the rest. What about you?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After further observation, I have concluded that people are much more closed-minded than they think they are. I'd love to see a social study covering the differences between inherited biases and biases that come from environmental and social influences. I bet the human race would discover that being biased <strong>is</strong> inherited. I have little doubt that environmental influences and personal experiences reinforce these traits, but in no way are they the sole product of. People, in general, are biased. They think their way is right, their preferences are right, and refuse to compromise. Would be a very interesting study, though I'm not sure if we can tell the difference yet with our limited technology and understanding of how DNA makes us who we are. We still have a lot to learn, you know?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*I realize this poll went a bit deeper than what I've been putting out there, but I can't tell you how many patterns and connections I see during just one day. I explore the news of other countries as much as my own. I love to study human behavior and after 20+ years of doing that, I've made some ugly conclusions. Occasionally one of them will match up with a poll and land here. Most go into my stories or my personal Fb wall. I believe that information, education, is the key to future peace. If that offends you, please ask yourself why.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc slipped into the trees at the edge of the road, not far
from where his vehicle was waiting. He scanned the area and saw dozens of fire
engines crawling with yellow clothed men trying to extinguish the fire, but there
were no signs of anyone else. Thick smoke blew over the dusty road and he
quickly ran toward the street, drawing surprises from the firefighters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Hey man!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Where did you come from?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc didn’t stop to answer the busy men. They had worked to do
and he needed to get out of here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc jogged down the side of the road, darting around
wildlife that was still fleeing ahead of the flames. The three walls of fire
had merged now to create one long bank of death that was destroying everything
in its path. Marc wasn’t even sure he would be able to use this road to get off
the mountain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">His worn-out Jeep came into view, causing Marc to increase speed
as relief gave him an extra burst of adrenaline. He slid into the driver’s seat,
reaching for the keys that he’d left in the ignition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Where do you think you’re going?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc froze at the sound of a gun being cocked. He didn’t
need to scan the tall, thin figure to know who it was. He had recognized the
voice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Is the boss’s wife still smiling?” Marc taunted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The nasty punch took him by surprise, even though he had
instigated it. Marc slumped in the seat, dazed from the temple shot. Rough
hands pushed him over and slid behind the wheel of his jeep.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc struggled to come out of the daze, but another fist
slammed into his forehead and everything went dark.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The familiar movement of his jeep in unfamiliar hands
brought Marc back to alertness. He’d known someone might be waiting, but he’d
been in such a hurry to get out that he’d forgotten to check underneath the
vehicle. That was a common place for this type of hunter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Sucking in a breath against his boiling guts, Marc used his
elbow and all of his weight to slam into the driver, neatly shoving the man up
and out of the vehicle. Open tops were convenient.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The man hit the ground beside the Jeep and skidded down the
incline, screaming as his ankle snapped.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc didn’t waste any sympathy. These hunters were as
ruthless as they came. Thankfully, they weren’t very smart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc pulled the Jeep onto a wider area of the road, and
killed the engine. There were still at least half a dozen men tracking him, and
he wasn’t about to lead them back to his hotel room. He would never get to
sleep.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc exited the vehicle and took up a stationary position in
the weeds around the warm jeep. He didn’t think it would be long for someone discovered
his new location. He was a prize target in a great place to be taken. No longer
protected by his team or society, Marc was just another animal alone in the
wilderness. Anything could happen out here. To them. He didn’t plan on mercy. Interrupting
his vacation had been a huge mistake. The enemy hadn’t given him time to cool
off or relax. They’d come for the civilian. They would get the Marine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Happy summer vacation, world! (Sorry, if you don’t get one.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hope the first half of your 2016 has gone well. If not,
there’s always hope for the rest of it, right? As for me, I’ve been a busy
beaver. Here are the June News and Notes for your reading pleasure:</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">New FB page signups</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I have a new page on Facebook. It is an official Author page
and has features that my personal profile (where we’re already connected) does
not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because my personal profile has a
friends limit (and because I’m tired of censoring my personal posts. You think
I overload it now? You honestly have no idea.) and because the new page is much
more reader-friendly, I am asking fans to ‘like’ the new page and then remove
themselves from my personal profile. I have already made a few posts about
this. Here is the link to the new page:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/authorangelawhite/"><span style="color: blue; mso-themecolor: hyperlink;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">https://www.facebook.com/authorangelawhite/</span></span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">What if you don’t do anything?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">By the end of summer, I will have the entire 1800 friends
sorted through. Since I have no way of telling who liked the new page, then we
will no longer be connected. No, I’m not sending 1800 messages (FB wouldn’t allow
it anyway-it is spam) to let you know I’ve gotten to your name. If you want to
remain connected-on the new page-then you’ll have to click the buttons. If you
do nothing, that’s your choice, but we will no longer be connected. I repeat,
by the end of summer, I will have deleted all 1800 people from my personal FB
wall.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">What if you want to remain on both pages?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Send me a private message-yes, through FB-and I’ll let you know.
Sometimes I just need a place where people aren’t going to judge me for the way
I feel/think/believe. These stupid social profiles were supposed to be that,
but they’ve morphed into ugly battles where freedom of expression has become a
myth. So, honestly, I’m not sure I’m keeping anyone except close friends or
family and even then, I have to be fussy because not all friends and family are
actually good for a person, you know? Sucks to make these choices and I think
the fairest thing to do is to remove everyone that I don’t have a true personal
relationship with. We’ll see how many people really want to stay. Might not
have to deal with it at all. In summary, ‘like’ the new page to keep up-to-date
on my books and such. To remain on the personal wall, send me a FB message and
we’ll see how it goes.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Last month’s something new</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">My blog schedule changed in March. Once a month, the ‘something
new’ is separate. Here is a link to read these fresh pages (all very recent)
from the haunting mind of… who am I today? Wait, we’ll get back to that. Over
the next few weeks, I will add a tab to the top of this blog with all these
links.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Once a month, I also ask those burning questions that drive
society, like where do you get your ebooks? Grin. Here is the link to the last one.
Let your voice be heard!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Once a month I’ve added an informational article on the
world of books and reading. Last month’s topic: Why don’t Indie Authors have
Editors, was full of details that most readers don’t know about the books they
love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://authorangelawhite.blogspot.com/2016/05/why-dont-indie-writers-have-editors.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://authorangelawhite.blogspot.com/2016/05/why-dont-indie-writers-have-editors.html</span></a></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">A surprise release!</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">During the week of July 4, I will have a new release
available here and on all the big stores! What is it? Here’s a hint. A few
months ago, I asked you wonderful people to vote on which shorter title you
wanted next. It was right after LAW book 8 went live and did not include a
choice directly from the LAW series. (I can’t plan those. They scream at me
when they’re ready, not the other way around.)<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>I used the results from that vote to decide my release plans for
the year. Marc and Angie won and it is now live. Stop back after the
celebrations of our beloved country to discover which book came in second and
get your copy! *If you signed up to be notified when I have a new release (top
right of blog and middle of new FB page) you will get 1-2 emails during the release
week. Please check your spam folder if you did, but don’t.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Voting</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">And lastly, can you please take few minutes to <strong>vote on the
reviews</strong> for this book? It is doing very well right now (top 1000 in the kindle
store for the last 3 months) and a group of asshole writers who can’t take the
competition are voting up the bad remarks. As you know, seeing a bunch of bad
reviews on a book's sale page will make a reader run the other way. Amazon refuses to stop them, even though they get daily complaints from honest authors. Can <em>you</em> please help me?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Welcome to the newest Book Lover Poll.</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Your voice matters here</strong>.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you pick up a new book, I'm sure the price is something you consider before hitting that purchase button. So do I, but until I became a writer, I didn't know who set the prices or what they were based on. These days, that has become so complicated with each store forcing the author to sell at their prices that I won't even try to explain it. The bottom line is that the price you pay for a book is NOT set by the writer of that book. We 'suggest' a price, the stores list it and then cut it (there are a few exceptions, such as iTunes) and the author is paid less than what they've already lowered it to. Consider this: If an editor makes 2 cents per word to edit (Yes, per word. Not page, <em>word</em>. That is the standard rate. Better editors make more.) shouldn't the author make at least double that for having written it? If it is not reasonable for the writers, than it is also not reasonable for the editors. They didn't write the material, they're cleaning it up. The hardest worker in the chain is the author, but they make the least amount of profit from it. That has to change.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>What can you do?</strong></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Buy directly from the author on their websites. It isn't hard now to put a pdf or epub on your computer, then transfer it to any phone or tablet that you have. Supporting the author is a reader's way of saying that hard work deserves the profit, not greedy stores who add delivery fees for electronic copies. They call them delivery fees because no reader would pay Amazon's store-wide utility bills in exchange for books. But that's exactly what happens every day. Your fee helps to pay for all the all other product storage, as well as your own. Amazon then takes 30%-65% of the author profit as their cut. Double-dipping should be illegal. If they want to charge for all of that (and I understand they need to cover their expenses) then it should be clearly labeled as combined utility costs. Charging a delivery fee for an electronic book is a scam.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;"><strong>Book Tidbit of the week:</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">BookBub has begun pay-per-click advertising for authors.
That means the author is charged for your click from the email, even if you don’t
download that title.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">*For those of you who don’t know, pay-per-click is one of
the biggest scams ever invented online. The advertiser charges the buyer for
EACH click, even when nothing is bought. So, say you like the email of the book
and click on it, but when you get to the landing page, you realize the book isn’t
your type and you don’t get a copy. The author still gets charged for that
click. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Their other system is a flat fee to be added to the email
and I believe they are continuing it. These new, ‘special’ ads will be below
each regular ad, giving the reader more clutter for their buck. Sounds like a
system doomed to fail, right? Google made this famous, then FB picked it up,
but it is a rip-off and most people don’t bother. Only traditional publishers
and brand names can afford to pay for clicks with no download. The other way
did not guarantee a download, but at least you weren’t being charged $1.25 for
each click (going rate for book ads on Google that are successful). In summary,
do everyone a favor and try not to click on the ‘special’ ads unless you KNOW
you want to try the book. If you guys and gals don’t click it, Bookbub might
nix it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In this age of ebooks everywhere, Indies have flooded the
market with some amazing stories. They lead most of the charts on each retailer
and their fan base is growing steadily, while traditional publishers are having
a hard time moving their titles. So why don’t Independent authors have an
editor?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The answer is price. It costs 2cents per word. For a single
read through. Let’s take a 500-page book as an example. Each page averages 300
words. That equals 150,000 words (My own exceed 200K) x 2.0 cents per word. The
total? $3,000.00. For ONE read. And most books need 2-4 layers of these edits.
We’re talking $5K + per book to be edited. Now, let’s look at other costs that
have to come out before this 500-page book is released to readers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Formatting into multiple files -$500-1000 (This includes a
separate file for EACH retailer. They all have their own rules.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ISBN for every format- $180.00 (Can only be bought in
batches of 10)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Print set up- Separate file and cover needed - $200-400<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Book Trailer/video -$200-400 for 30-60 second clips.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Email services -$30.00 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">monthly</b>
(Once you have over 1000 contacts, it is NOT free anymore.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Also:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Electric, computers with great software, office supplies,
internet and phone (many retailers won’t sign you up without a phone #), other
equipment like printers, 1-$2K+<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">After that, Indies cover all their own marketing and
advertising. This can run more than the editing, but an average monthly amount
would be around $400-700. When you have 9 million+ competitors, you MUST
advertise just to be found.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">There are other expenses for authors that the reader never
see, but you get the point from this list. Our total right now for a 500-page
book, with everything above and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">before</i>
publication, is a whopping 5860.00. And that is using the lowest number for
each expense, and only ONE edit. Can you imagine having a 300,000 word book
that needs to be edited 3 times? That total alone is over 15K!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So the answer, my friends, is cash. People think writers are
flush, but the term ‘starving artist’ came from writers begging in the streets
over the centuries. We’re determined to put our prose out there, knowing we may
end up in a pauper’s grave somewhere before it’s all over. The odds were
stacked against writers way back when and it hadn’t changed much until the
internet removed those barriers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some readers would say that if we can’t afford to edit, then
pick another career. Okay. Sure. You do amazing things with hair, but you can’t
afford the schooling for the trade. Oh, well. Pick something else. You’re a
brilliant scientist but your parents can’t afford college. Tough titty said the
kitty. Pick something else. You think you can become president and solve world
hunger. No one cares. Go sling garbage bags at 3am every day until you die.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some people, when told those things, will do exactly that.
They curl into a fetal position and demand to know why they weren’t born rich
or powerful. Others, like me, simply publish the work as clean as they can get
it (I’m sorry. I’m no one’s editor) and later, if we can ever afford it, use
the proceeds to send it to a real editor for that scrub and polish. Except, at
those prices and with 9 million other titles to fight for attention, it is
unlikely that an Indie ever makes enough money to properly edit their work.
Does that mean we shouldn’t publish it? Oh, well and all that? If you still
think so, maybe it will surprise you to know how many of our classic, infamous,
studied figures in history were illiterate. We wouldn’t have:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Should all of those writers and
infamous persons have picked another career?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, what’s the solution?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Two things. Thanks to the
internet, we now have wonderful readers who VOLENTEER their time to help
writers clean up their books. Betas might be true angels sent down just for
authors.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The other thing is education. We
Indies have to do more than throw words on paper. We have to go out research it
to find out if that comma belongs there. We have to take those night classes
when the kids are sleeping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have to
look at the corrections our Betas suggest and go, “Holy cow! I didn’t know
that! I’ll try hard to not do it again.” In short, we have to care as much as
our fans do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">On that note, I would like to say
that I am sorry for every typo and mistake that you have been hurt by while
reading my work. I adore my fans. I would never feel good about giving you work
that isn’t top quality. I just can’t afford that outlay before you even see the
cover or blurb. When I can, my work will go through a professional editor every
time. Until then, I hope you’ll be patient with me. I really don’t like the mistakes
any more than you do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">All I ever wanted to do was to
give people amazing stories that take them away from life’s harsh realities.
That’s what most writers want-Indie and traditional. The other red tape crushes
us until we curl up on the floor and sob about the unfairness of the world. I
much prefer explaining my position in hopes that you’ll continue to support
Indies, especially the ones who try hard to do things right. If it weren’t for
them, readers would still be paying full price for ebooks, which cost almost
nothing to distribute once that first 5-8 formats are created. $14.99 for a
paperback? Sure. For the matching ebook? No way. It should be free, and because
of Indies, some of them are. Amazon has a matchbook feature. Check it out! You
can buy the paperback, and get the ebook free!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Other advantages to readers,
because of Indies:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Conversations. Did you know that
none of the big authors even had FB pages until the Indies got there and began
connecting with the fans? No offense to them, but famous writers would never
have lowered themselves to ‘chat’ with fans unless their publishers and agents
told them to. Need proof of that? How many times has S. King come to his page
and shot the shit with a group of readers? Zero, but Anne Rice, who took
herself Independent, often screams at her fans on a daily basis. Just click
through their pages and scan to see how many of them actually talk to readers. Very
few, but before the independents, there were none. You might be lucky enough to
grab a few seconds at a book signing, or you may have gotten a form letter in response
to your happy gushing, but no true contact. Indies have changed that. In the
next decade, only rock star authors will be able to afford to ignore their
fans, and Indies paved the way for that by getting on their accounts and
talking to you. Nice, huh? One day, we may be able to bs with writers who would
have ignored us ten years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Lower prices, and the FREE EBOOK.
Do you think traditional publishers were ever going to give you a 500-page book
for free? Me either, but Indies do it by the hour, trying to draw your attention
to their work. Traditionally published writers leave all of that to their
bosses. They usually don’t have a choice. To be fair, they’re getting ripped
off worse than Indies, but that will be a different rant.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Independent authors have already
contributed so much to the world. Please continue to read their work, typos and
all. You never know. One of those starving writers may just be the next Shakespeare.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

deserve to be read, and you’re the only ones who can do that. All hail the
glorious readers!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Life After War: Book nine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Shattered Dreams</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">“You think this will work?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Marc shrugged, returning to the driver’s seat without answering Neil’s quiet query. He doubted anything or anyone could change Angie’s mind and that included Adrian. She was the most stubborn person he’d ever known, but he didn’t assume she was doing this for attention. Losing the baby hadn’t been planned. He knew that by her reaction. If she’d planned it, she would have also had something waiting for her pain afterwards. Right now, she was eaten up with remorse and anger at herself. Both his demon and hers had warned him that she was obsessing over it, constantly replaying the fight with Vlad that had cost her so much. Besides the obvious not eating well or sleeping much, and the nasty attitude she’d developed, there was the crying every night. It killed him to roll over and find fresh tears, but the ones dried to her face each morning were enough to break him. She started and finished every day the same way now-tearing herself apart for the choices-and Marc was hoping time alone with Adrian would at least remind her that she still had duties to perform. If she went on like this much longer, the camp would call a leadership vote.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That’s what she wants</i>, Adrian sent through the private channel that he and Marc had labored on for the last weeks. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Maybe we should let it happen…</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing Adrian doubt his own plans sent fury through Marc and he mentally snarled, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Put her back to work!</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yes, boss,</i> Adrian retorted snidely. He didn’t send his next thought and Marc was glad. Leaving Angie here, alone with his rival, was a bitter pill to swallow.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We never had to be rivals</i>, Adrian reminded him tiredly. And then slammed the door to break their connection, telling Marc he wouldn’t have any contact with Angie while she was in the cave. A bit of payback for how being banished had felt.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Marc gritted his teeth and led the convoy toward the meeting place that Kyle’s Special Forces team had already secured. He had his job to distract him, thankfully, but it wouldn’t always be this way. Something would give or break with Adrian before they fled the mountains. He’d had enough of living this way. Big changes were coming.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Happy Spring! It’s finally coming! Windows open this week and everything. It was wonderful. Sigh. That’s about all the good news I have right now. The entire family has been down for weeks with this stomach illness, making it impossible for me to work, even if I had felt well enough to. The Marc and Angie backstory has been delayed until the first week of April, as well as the remaining blog posts on here. I’ll pick back up with the schedule around April 10th, I hope. In the meantime, you can still get this book at the preorder price, so that’s good, right? Here ya go!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Book 9 is available for preorder. The release date has not been set, but every preorder allows me to pay for all the things that come before you get it. Which reminds me! Some of the big stores are now offering updated content, which means you can get the edited copies, for free, in your digital library. The list below is all the books that have been edited/rewritten over the last two years. Considering how long it takes an editor to go over a 900-page book, I’d say we’ve made some great progress. And again, I am sorry for the mistakes. I can’t tell you that enough times. I promise to do better with every book I release. Thank you for your patience and for loving the stories as much as I do. You’re all terrific. I hope you know that.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Shattered Dreams by Angela White</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">“Fire in the hole!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">After three days of Adrian blocking and blowing roads to their den, the call didn’t garner attention. In fact, even the sound of his voice was mostly ignored. People inside Safe Haven had more problems than a former leader hanging around. Marc had told them everything that was coming. He refused to lie anymore and the result was a very twitchy camp that needed reassurances from their seer that weren’t coming. Angela wasn’t in any condition to communicate or handle duties. The doctors had agreed to keep her sedated since all she did was cry when awake. Even when Marc was with her, the tears were constant and that man wasn’t sure how much more of it he could handle. He wanted his Angie back, even if she was a cruel, self-centered bitch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">They’d talked a little and he understood why she’d made the choices she had, but it didn’t stop the anger or the guilt. If she had told him what she planned, he would have helped, not interfered. She had no right to exclude him that way and then blame him for what went wrong. At the same time, if he had been able to follow her plans in the past, instead of always feeling the need to second-guess her choices, then maybe she would have confided in him. The gulf between them could hold towns.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">The rumbling was ignored by Safe Haven, who was aware of what Adrian was doing. Marc had told the camp that they would be hearing from him regularly while he closed down the mountain. Angela had sent him out to handle that chore alone, in the storm leftovers, with dazed, angry ants roaming everywhere. Marc still wasn’t sure if she was trying to kill Adrian, though he was rooting for it. He did hope she let him get the roads and paths secured first. There were too many threats in range for his liking. Marc wanted to challenge them all, but nothing would get him to go against Angela’s plans and plots right now. She’d only given a few orders since being brought down from the bloody mountain, and he was making sure they were followed. He didn’t want to bunker in here now. He wanted to rush out and meet Vlad’s townspeople with his fury. He didn’t want Adrian locking their doors, either, but that feeling was minor compared to his anger at the people who couldn’t let them have any peace. They’d fought for ten months to keep it together. They’d sacrificed and suffered enough. When did they get a real break?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">According to their witch, no break would come until they reached safety. People were now assuming that meant Pitcairn Island. Kendle had no idea how popular she would be when she returned. Some people thought she might just keep going, but Marc knew better. Kendle was terrified of being back on the ocean. She wanted to leave, but the methods were going to keep her with them a bit longer. Marc had wondered if she knew Angela and Adrian planned on a cruise ship. There was no way she would deal well with that and Marc was glad they would be pulling other boats that would need a skeleton crew. It would allow Kendle a different type of ship, at least for the journey that Angela had predicted would take over a month. Instead of foreign lands, flooded coasts, and the unlikely chance of making it back to the Gulf of Mexico, they were going to sail around South America. Marc was daunted and forever impressed with Angela’s courage and ambition. He also thought she was slightly nuts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Marc shrugged, leaning under the hot water. After everything the world had gone through in a short year, it was a wonder that the survivors weren’t all raging lunatics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">“Ants are clear from all levels,” the radio on the rocky ledge crackled with Billy’s excited voice. They’d clearly had a battle. That rush of happy adrenaline came from surviving. Marc knew it well. He still craved it some days, but the apocalypse had already given him plenty of action. There was no danger of his skills getting rusty.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Marc had already scrubbed and he lingered, enjoying the intense steam of a nearly scalding shower. He still hadn’t adjusted back to having this wonderful convenience. His showers, unless Angie was along, had mostly been quick to save water and let him get onto the next duty or challenge. Now, they were sheltering in place for a month and he could take all the time that he wanted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">The bottom floor shower was empty around him, with only a set of guards who had snapped to when he came in and still hadn’t eased. Knowing their attention was securely on their job let Marc relax and he sank down on the seat beneath the ledge that held his guns and radio. He adjusted the water so that it was a hot trickle on his shoulders, then leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. He had Kenn and Zack, with Kyle and Jennifer over them, covering the top level of their cave. Neil’s team was policing the second floor, with Daryl and Kendle overseeing two rookie teams on level three. Down here on level four, was Ray and most of Marc’s old team of Eagles. Things were being handled like Angela had instructed and Marc suddenly wished she was here with him so he could hold her in this cloud of peaceful steam and promise her things would get better, that the doctor was wrong.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Her injuries were healing quicker than Jimmy was comfortable with, but even he was following his instructions to the letter-documenting descendant medical finds and sharing them with the other personnel. There were only a few differences, but they were huge and future generations would need that information. To cover his nervousness, the doctor was now traveling in a pack of students, using them to bolster his courage. Marc approved of the coping and the training. He’d thought the man would have to be run out because of his attitude, but Angela’s injury had revealed his attachment to her despite their love-hate relationship. He was giving her excellent care, according to Hilda and Peggy, who were always nearby.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">“Power has been reestablished in the gaming area. You may resume your free time there,” the radio echoed again, this time with Tonya’s calm voice. They were still repairing Jayson’s treachery. They were also fixing minor issues that would have come up anyway and Marc was satisfied with their shelter. If not for the coming problems, he would never agree to leave. These mountains were perfect. The surrounding areas would ruin it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Marc wondered how much time they had left before that crisis hit and shoved the thought away. This was his down time; time to think and restore his own faith. Plans and schemes would come when he had his guns back on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">He turned off the water and tugged his towel down, draping it over his lap, he remained in the steam, enjoying the sensation. He hadn’t been in a sauna for a long time and the stone walls and floor in here made this a very similar experience. It reminded him of days he’d stolen for himself over the years. He had liked going to a ski lodge where no one knew him or an isolate camp ground if he felt like roughing it. Life after war was much like the life he’d had before the bombs, except the stress levels were through the roof and the supplies weren’t neatly delivered and stacked for his use. He’d always thought an apocalypse would make things easier in some ways, but he’d been wrong. The old world of convenience was gone and it surprised Marc to still be mourning it. He knew some of the camp was feeling this way too. It was hard not to with real running water and electric in the caves, but it was knowing they were leaving again that brought on this retrospective mindset. None of them were eager to go. Even those who believed this place to be cursed were busy enjoying the tv room, the game room, the activity floor. Despite the chaos that had taken place, Safe Haven was actually calm and relatively happy right now. Angela had lived, Vlad and his threat was gone, and there were no more refugees screaming at their gate. If not for the overcrowding and Angela’s predictions, things would be perfect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Marc winced as the image of Angela’s bloody body on the mountain ran through his mind. She’d told him he was in charge before fading out last night and he hadn’t argued. The camp already assumed he was, but she’d known it had to be official. Their witnesses, the doctors and students, had nodded in approval. They knew his leadership would be enough to get them through until she recovered, but it bothered Marc to hear the rest of that thought. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We hope</i>. Agree with her methods or not, these people knew she was the best person for the job. It made the urge to do better grow stronger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">He had thought things were covered before the chaos wiped away his delusions of success. This time, he wouldn’t make that mistake. He was double and triple checking his plans and decisions, trying to look further ahead, like she and Adrian were able to do. He wasn’t sure if his short-sightedness could be unlearned but he was determined to try. He was also determined that he wouldn’t become corrupted the way their former leaders had been. He hated to include Angie in with Adrian, but the proof was undeniable. She’d known the avalanche was coming and let it happen to kill hundreds of desperate refugees. She’d taken life forces. It didn’t hurt him to be with someone who could do those things, but it was killing him inside to know that she’d fallen. She’d been full of good and light despite awful childhood events and even worse things as an adult, and he knew she was torn apart over it. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">His</i> Angie had always been good. For that to change, meant she wasn’t at peace with herself anymore. She would need help through this.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">“But not from me,” he muttered, anger and pain rising. There was no way he could be unbiased. Intentional or not, her choices had cost him a child.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Tears that no one else would ever see slid down Marc’s cheeks. His dreams of a happy family with Angie shattered and ran from his eyes in torrents. He had no idea how they would go on from this.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Book Tidbit</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It takes the average author (no such thing, imao) a year to write and be satisfied with a 500 page book. An entire year on one project. Why so long? That's crazy. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Writers are known as 'flighty' or 'easily distracted' for only releasing one novel every 365 days, but consider this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A shopping list (1 page) takes roughly 15 minutes for someone going to the market and that is usually half a page with 1-3 words per line, for a total of 50-75 words. Now compare that with the last book you enjoyed. There are roughly <em>300</em> words per page. We have to multiply the grocery list by<em> 4</em> to equal the amount of time spent on one page. Yes, you read that correctly. it can take an hour for an author to write just 1 page, or 300 words. That's why you have to wait so long for the next title in the series.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Wisdom of the Week</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If the majority of people agree on something, does that make it a fact? After all, pier reviews are much the same thing and they've been forming science as we understand it since science began forming. If any of those piers weren't honest, imagine the unbelievable bullshit that people might actually think is true or good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...perhaps that explains how Common Core is still persisting despite our attempts to 'lawsuit' it into submission.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Do you know how to sail the boat?”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Her quick topic change annoyed Adrian and he
grunted, “No.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“We don’t have a captain yet. Find me one.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Adrian grinned at the order, the choice. “Yes, ma’am.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Angela began throwing the darts, and neither of them was
encouraged by the bad aim.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“You haven’t been practicing,” he scolded.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“No.” She didn’t tell him she’d been too busy trying to keep
it all together alone. He knew what that was like.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Maybe you should teach that lesson to Marc,” he suggested,
retrieving the darts. Most of them had bounced to the ground.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“I’ve been trying not to corrupt him like we are, but
there’s no choice, right?”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Not really,” Adrian answered, dropping the darts into her
open palm without touching her, as she’d commanded. “Time will do it anyway.
Right now, he doesn’t understand what it’s like to have two awful choices to
pick from. If he knew what that felt like, you two might be able to bridge the
gap and actually have a conversation.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Angela didn’t ask if he’d gotten that from her. It had come
from Marc, who was desperate to have her recovered and back in charge so that he
could return to his sullen attitude of accusations phrased as questions.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“I haven’t told him anything,” Adrian said quietly, moving
away so she could throw again. “He’ll ask for an update on you soon, I think.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Angela’s mind was already overcrowded with the thoughts and
plans that she’d refused to allow in until now. She shoved it all out in one
huge slam of the door. Her shoulders drooped. “I’m not ready yet, am I?”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Adrian hid his smile. “No. Let him cover things for a
while.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“What will I be doing?”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Recovering, I assume,” Adrian sent back evenly. “Doing
things that don’t remind you of your pain. Things like working on that aim.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The darts from her latest throw were again mostly on the
ground.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“You could also spend some time with me,” he suggested. “I
could resume your private lessons. With a chaperone, of course.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“You could teach a class, outside the gates,” she agreed,
thinking it would be nice to go back to being a rookie in training. The
pressure back then hadn’t been staggering.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Be happy to,” he conceded, unable to keep the smile hidden
this time. He also liked the idea of just being a trainer for a class. Let
someone else handle the stress and harsh choices, the constant fear of not
being good enough, of missing something. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Marc</i>
could handle it, and then they would see if he was still smug and superior
afterwards.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“It hurts me to be around you,” Angela said suddenly, exhausted
again. “I need to rest.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Adrian watched her curl into the chair and blanket as if she
wasn’t coming out, burrowing in until he couldn’t see any skin. Her recovery
would truly take a while. It wouldn’t be an act for Marc or the camp. She
needed a real break and Adrian was suddenly determined that she would have one.
But not a long one. He hadn’t exactly told her the truth about the final issues
coming for Safe Haven. Crossing that ocean wouldn’t be as easy as he’d implied.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

Even with the worst possible story (which mine isn't. Has a 4+ star rating across almost all retailers) the law of averages says that at least 10% of that could be counted on to read the next book, which was also free. It doesn't happen, so that leads me to believe that readers are simply not reading. They're hoarding. Is it true? Please, tell us...</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Our reunions are
what I remember the clearest, especially the one in ‘97. We’d been apart for
seven months. My fourteenth birthday had been our goodbye.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">I waited with
nervous excitement for him to arrive. Brady had been home for a week, but this
was his first chance to sneak away and I was already in the first our many
meeting places. Had he missed me as much as I had him? Would he still like me?
I’d grown up again while he was away, now a full-bodied teenager with the curse
and everything. I was so worried over his reaction that I didn’t hear the steps
behind me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I want to talk
to you!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Jeanie’s voice
was startlingly loud in the cornfield clearing and I turned awkwardly, ready to
run or fight as needed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“You listen!”
Jeanie ordered, hands on her slender hips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“What?” I
snarled. My Brady had kissed this girl, had loved her with his body. I knew now
that he’d been thinking about me, but my jealousy was powerful.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I want you to
leave him alone.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The demand made
me furious, but I held my sharp tongue to let her have her say.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“He belongs with
me, not some mutt! Get out of his life or I’ll tell Mother Brady everything.
She’ll put a stop to it right quick.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">It didn’t matter
that Jeanie was right, that I had no claim to him. He was mine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“No,” I
answered, falling into that dangerous place where the witch helped me handle
the situation. “She can’t get rid of me. Even if we were two planets apart,
Marcus Brady would still be mine.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Jeanie’s eyes
filled with horrified triumph and I realized too late that she’d tricked me
into confirming it. What would she do?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">She’ll
tell</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">,
the witch whispered smugly. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Close her
mouth.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Before I knew
it, I was swinging at the senior, attacking without warning like Marc had tried
to teach me. I’d been too scared then, but now, I was eager.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Marc</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">It was my
nightmare, seeing them talking and my guts had twisted at Jeanie’s vicious
words. Time was up. We had to go now, today. I wanted to start planning it, but
then Angie hit Jeanie!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Thud!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">It was nasty and
rocked Jeanie’s blonde head back to make her stagger. She fell on her butt,
holding her bleeding lip.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“You will not
tell!” Angie shouted, leaning down into Jeanie’s face. A hard shake and a shove
put my winy girlfriend on her back on the ground and I gaped, shocked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“It’ll take Mother
Brady time to get rid of me and I’ll spend it hunting you!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">A mean kick to
the ribs made me wince, remembering my own injury.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“And break up with
him!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Angie ordered. “Do it tonight or
I’ll be at your door come morning.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Another kick
curled Jeanie into a crying ball and I finally remembered that I was standing
in plain view. All they had to do was turn a little.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“You go it?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Yes, you evil
witch! Get outta my head!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">That froze me again.
Angie was using her gift!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Say it!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Angie drew back
to hit her and Jeanie scrambled away. “I won’t tell and I’ll break up with
him!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Thud!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“Oww! I will!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The noise that I
hadn’t noticed before now glared at me in the silence as Angie continued to
intimidate my much older girlfriend. It sounded like an engine but I knew it
for what it was: the hum of raw power.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“I won’t! I
swear!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The look on
Angie’s face worried me. It wasn’t the girl I loved, but the inside creature
that sometimes glared at me from those empty eyes and it wasn’t Angie’s voice
that came from those lips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">“No matter where
you go, Jeanette Lynn Shaffer. No matter where.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">That girl no longer
looked like my nineteen-year-old intern girlfriend that I reluctantly spent
time with because of my controlling parent. This was only a quivering soul that
my Angie had terrified.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Listening to the
instinct that proclaimed me male, I slipped behind the nearest tree and viewed
the aftermath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. <em><strong>If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>...</strong></em> And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of<br /> resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as<br /> to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost<br /> in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from<br /> time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Thomas Jefferson</span></div>
