Good evening from the Jersey Shore. Recently, a number of readers have been asking for an update on the status of the novels and some other summer writing projects I have underway. Since today was a research day and I wasn’t able to work on D+24, I thought tonight would be the perfect time to …

Evening to all! The peripheries and Southern Flank entries for D+17 have all been posted. Now we’re about to jump into the main theaters of action. I felt it would be helpful if I toss in a primer at this time because we’re reaching the point where the plot thickens, so to speak. What this …
Well, here we are at the tournament championship. We started with 32 World War III novels and now just two remain: Red Storm Rising and Team Yankee. Not exactly a surprise, all things considered.
