Going Live with CRYPTO SHRUGGED

We've finally gotten the complete draft of CRYPTO SHRUGGED finished and formatted as an ebook. It includes a foreword by Adam Kokesh (@Adamkokesh) that sets the right tone. As a pragmatic Libertarian running for not President of the United States with the goal of peacefully, responsibly dissolving the federal government, (adam@thefreedomline.com) Adam's reading of the book provided some intriguing insights and ideas for us to explore in other books in the series.


The book was edited and now Domini Dragoone (www.dominidragoone.com) is doing a stunning layout for the print edition; once we have the final page count Elizabeth Mackey (www.elizabethmackeygraphics.com) will be modifying the ebook cover she did for us (below) into one appropriate for the paperback edition.

The book has been on preorder, but now, impatient souls that we are, we've moved the launch date up to this Friday, April 27, 2018. You can get it in various ebook formats from Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble (Nook), Kobo, Angus & Robertson, and Mondadori.
The print edition will be along shortly and we plan our first book signing at Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in mid-May where we will be celebrating Jeff and Gigi's wedding along with the launch of the book. It's also another opportunity to research a story, and we have another short story in the works that is based there.

Baby it's warm outside (and buggy)

I'm in a guest house on Simon Bolivar in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It's Saturday evening and the politicos are campaigning in true South American style at the riverfront across the street. A prerecorded and endlessly repeating marching band playing WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME, just drowned a lot of off key political favorites being played by a rock band. Now they've switched to the Marine Corps song. It's about 88 degrees and 75% humidity, which is perfect for political rallies, since both stifle thought and make your brain freeze. It's all pretty loud and in this heat I'm not sure how far I'd get in any attempt to escape.
