Progress Blog
Tiger Legion has reached 303 pages, 83,000 words. I've begun to whittle them down.
The cover is ready. See it on the top cover slide show.
I'm continuing the first editing before I send the manuscript to the State Department for approval, so as not to share anything improper with my editor. After State approves, the outside editor will do his job and THEN we'll publish. This is exciting!!
Take a look at the cover in the slideshow to your left.
Revisions
The revised edition for "Insurrection: Appalachian Command" and "Insurrection: Mile-High Blood" are ready for distribution and purchase at Amazon and Smashwords. The State Department has cleared them for publication. Yay, State! They will be coming to the other distributors soon. Keep the faith, baby!

Next Martial Arts Challenge
My Sensei has scheduled me to test for First Degree Black Belt at the end of October. I hope I'm up to the challenge!

China Classic Tournament
On August 13th I participated in the China Classic Tournament at National Harbor, Maryland. While I was able to win 1st Place on Traditional Forms, I only got 4th Place in Sparring. I guess I'm getting old, but it helps that my opponents were at least 25 years younger! LOL
The Israeli Caracal Battalion
The Israeli Caracal Light Infantry Battalion is used fictitiously in the Insurrection Series. It is a combat arms, gender integrated unit where men and women fight alongside each other with tremendous institutional pride. Here's a video that features the Caracal and an Israeli soldier from Baltimore, Maryland.
MARTIAL ARTS CORNER
I am an avid martial arts devotee. Beginning at age 10 with foil fencing I trained in Judo later under the famous Master Paul Turse and other Judo Senseis. About three years ago my Mikey hoodwinked me into training in Tang Soo Do Karate with him. I got thoroughly hooked. You should try it!
BOOK REVIEWS AND BLOG
I'm an insatiable reader and often review the work of other authors. I'm also not shy about opening up on current cultural or political events. Should you want to read articles on the Wordpress blog, it's available here. Recently, they asked me to translate the novels into Spanish and other languages, so I have added articles in Spanish. The opinions expressed here are my own.
