Shelter from the Storm is available in paperback: https://amzn.to/3Z2QVun It's the latest Will Kane New York book. Or do you mean the Little Black Book? Right now it's not big enough to support a spine, but I plan on adding more to it soon so it will.

Rocky Start is scheduled for June 2024. We hope to release the following books two months apart. It all depends on how quickly we write them. We'll keep at least 2 months between books but if we can move up the start date, we will. We don't put a pre-order up until the manuscript is pretty much done. Glad you're enjoying the books!

I dropped Old Soldiers and instead am doing the Will Kane Green Beret books. I hope to continue the next book in Duty, Honor, Country in 2021. Glad you've enjoyed the books.

I know some people who worked with them. It was called Grill Flame.
In 10th Special Forces we ran a program called Trojan Warrior. Remote viewing wasn't part of it. I wrote my Psychic Warrior books taking the concepts a bit further.

If they pass the qualifications, certainly. I was in the second class of females at West Point and that worked out. Those who can't accept the future will repeat the past. That being said, the physical demands are extreme.

I am currently reading The March of Folly. Just finished Richard Russo's latest book. The Testaments will be next up.

The series goes: Area 51; Reply; Mission; Sphinx; Grail; Excalibur; Truth and then Legend and Nosferatu are prequels.
Glad you're enjoying the books. Yeah-- I pretty much took every significant thing with a bit of mystery and wove it into that series. Time Patrol was more focused on history. All the best with your books! Bob

We literally got off the same plane on our way to the Maui Writers conference many years ago. We taught next door to each other. We started talking and I'm not sure exactly who came up with it, but we decided we should write together. It was a great experience.

Yes. Essentially the Nightstalkers become the Time Patrol. So the order there is: Nightstalkers, Book of Truths, Rift, then the Time Patrol.
Then: Black Tuesday, Ides of March, D-Day, Independence Day and later this year Nine-Eleven and Day of Infamy.
Also, the scenario I wrote about in the Atlantis series is the same as what the Time Patrol is encountering: multiple timelines with a foe call the Shadow. So some of the characters from that series are in Time Patrol such as Dane and Amelia Earhart. I bring in the concept of the Cellar from that series, along with Hannah and Neeley.
I'm currently building a web site to show all these worlds and characters and how they interact.

I'd write the book first and then be concerned about publishing afterward. These days I recommend going with traditional publisher and there are tons of books out there laying out how to submit and get an agent. All the best with your book!

We're small and we focus on only a handful of authors. We support an author's hybrid career, meaning some work with traditional publishers also.

I guess they haven't read it! : )

I was on it many years ago and would gladly go on again if invited.

I write about things that interest me and I'm passionate about the theme. In my nonfiction, I focus on things that will help people. In fiction, I like exploring possibilities, especially that of the human mind.
For my wife and I, our hobby is story and characters. We study it all the time.

As a former Green Beret, the key to our success was planning. I wrote The Green Beret Survival Guide to focus on individual survival. But then I realized too many people really believe Sh!@ happens instead of focusing on what they can do to stop bad things from happening.
Also, my wife and I have always been fascinated by catastrophes. Our first 'date' was going to Little Big Horn. A show called Seconds From Disaster fascinated us and we saw a pattern-- every plane crash requires at least 7 things to go wrong. And one of them is always human error. Thus they can be prevented.
