GM very good story. Just came across it today. Very solid. Like everyone else has said, seems plausible.

  I know it's an old post but I'd missed it before.  I just burnt my lunch I was so into that read.

Part 4 ???  Still waiting. Got fresh ink in the printer.  8)

 If you haven't already, and if you truly enjoy it, you should write as much as you can and look for a publisher. I don't know anything about the business but I know that people aren't begging me to write or tell any stories. I think you have a talent and also fill a niche that readers need filled.

MJ - I have a draft of part 4.  Are you willing to proof read it for me?
If so shoot me an email - mssgn@hotmail.com

Groovy Mike, Great story!!! You have talent, man.  I was surfing this forum, got hooked on this read, and decided to become a member, LOL.   You have covered a lot of things in this....some lessons on 'what to do', some 'what could happen' stuff.  It's always better learning when it's entertaining  :lol:

Thanks for taking the time to write, waiting patiently to see if more chapters come out!

Thanks :)

 There are 3 sections posted on this board.  The fourth will only be available in print.

Rec'd a reply back from one publisher who said they only want stories of 80,000 words or more and mine is only about 45k....

On to the next publisher!  I'm also still looking for cover art.

You know, I found myself picking up the hard copy I printed off when you first posted them . . and reading it again last week. Its still a great story.

I could not stop reading once I started. What is your vision for the cover I may be able to help.

I am open to suggestions.  What I envisioned is a family in regular clothes (no camo) but packs and rifles crossing a lawn with a house in flames behind....

Any other thoughts?

Speaking of suggestions I am open to adding anything that readers suggest to wrap up the novel in the chapters to come....  Any ideas?
