I sure hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts! I enjoy all feedback. :)

Sorry I have been incommunicado for so long. I have my second book out now, The Book Of Daniel, in paperback and kindle on amazon and also on nook. It is the second in the Tragedy series and I am about a third into the first draft of the third book, The Freedom Fighters. I have read so many new books from various readers...but my favorite this year was the
One Year After by William Forstchen. So many good reads out there now. I met my 100 books to read challenge again last year, that is two years in a row and hope to meet it again this year! Happy reading friends.

not to worry. take care and talk at you later when you have time.

just a note, i stopped in at Cabellas today and picked up a couple new books and will let you know how they turn out. the first one is Preppers Home Defense by Jim Cobb and the other is SAS Survival Handbook for any climate in any situation. by John Wiseman. It looks very good anyway, i shall let you know after i get through them. dixie

Ok, first off i did also read another great read off topic this last summer but i loved the info in the book and got a couple ideas from it, it was The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan and is about the Great American Dust bowl in the 1930s. It was fantastic with several good pictures. Ok, my favorites in teh way of non-fiction prepping are of course the complete set of Foxfire books. They are so packed with excellent information that i would suggest that you read them even if you can only get one of them at a time. I purchased my set on ebay but i do believe you can get them on Amazon also. The next good one that i do love is the book How o Survive The Endi of the World as we Know it by James Wesley Rawles. He has the huge web site Survival.Blog.com. I really enjoyed this book. Now i also love the books by Cody Lundin, the best being When All Hell Breaks Loose. He is a bit extreem but has some very valuable information. Tappan on Survival by Mel Tappan is also a good read as is The Prepper's Pocket Guide. Well i have read a few others and then passed them on but these have been my favorites so i keep them on my book shelf. I hope this helps some. again, Keep prepping and Keep reading, Never Give Up. dixie

oh i read all i can on prepping, and on horses and on dogs and on herbal remedy's and american history. i read Mornings on horseback about Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln Team of Rivals this last winter and both were excellent reads. I have read so many books on survival that i will have to get home and look at my shelves to tell you about my favorites. But the herbal books are among-st the favorites. last summer i read a few books on local wild herbs and was able to do some wild crafting with salves and had a very good success with them. I will get back with you when i get home tomorrow. So good to be communicating with some one who has some of the same interests. Keep prepping and keep reading. Never give up.

Wow, i am excited to get at these you have suggested. i admit i will read the preppers frist, lol. But i just might give a zombie book a try for sure. Thanks for the input and i am also excited for you to read mine and let me know what you think. I know the first chapter has a couple grammer errors but the rest is good so i dont know if i want to go to the trouble of a rewrite or not. Guess i will ask you that question once you have read it. Happy reading friend. i look sharing your comments on anything you read. Dixie

i looked back in my Kindle and i did read the first one of Jeremy's run. i didnt like the way it was cut off so you had to get the next book but since you liked it so much i will get the next two. Not to be pushing my own but you should try Tragedy's A Comin' by D.D.Eves, Me. Every one who has read it seems to love it and keeps after me to get this second one done. Yes, i too like the economic collapse which is what my book has going on. I will get on my Kindle today and purchase American Meltdown and the second book in Jeremys run. Thanks for the ideas as i cant seem to get enough of them. I even read the really stinkers in hopes something will spark my interest. And yes, they do seem to blur to me also. A sad fact for us Readers. LOL, i have not tried the zombie stories yet but i do love the walking dead series so i just may give them a chance. Any hints on a good one to give me a start?

Superaven, i agree with you totally. And i also lose interest if they bring in fantasy of any sort. i want it realistic. dont think i have read Jeremy's Run, i will check them out. i love A American also. Well, i read every one i can get a hold of, lol. I just finished Equipping Modern Patriots by Jonathan Hollerman and it was pretty good. I usually prefer books about EMP but i will read any of it. I just read The Flu by Jacqueline something or another, and it was great. i read both it and The Healing by her and it was even better. Well, happy reading and keep in touch.

What is your favorite prepping/dystopian read? I read all i can get my hands on. I have read some of the earliest but my favorites are the newest, Lights Out, One Second After, and The Patriots. One closest to my heart is the "Tragedy's A Comin'" by D.D.Eves, yes me. It came out this August. I would love to have a group read of any you would like to do. Then a discussion of course.
