Fellow Forum members,
First of all, I am posting this with the permission of the forum administration. I have recently written and published a novel entitled Essential Liberty. It’s a rather unusual novel, in that it’s “Second Amendment-based.” I will paste a short “teaser” blurb at the end of this post; but, in a nutshell, it chronicles the consequences of governmental overreach.
Essential Liberty is currently available in Kindle format on Amazon and the softcover version will be available by August 1st. The Kindle download linked below is $6.99, from Amazon.com. There are also sample chapters available through that link.
If you decide to buy Essential Liberty and like it, I’d appreciate you telling everyone you know about it! Also, please take the time to write a review for Amazon.com…assuming you like it, of course☺.
I’m trying to market the book every way I know how, since a novel dealing with this subject doesn’t fit into the mainstream press very well. Any insights or thoughts that anyone has along those lines would be very welcome.
Essential Liberty has been a thirteen-year labor of love for me. I am passionate about liberty and firearms and I’ve wanted to tell a specific story for a long time. Essential Liberty is that story. It is my first novel and I’m currently working on another.
I’m on the road right now but I will try to check the forum from time to time. If you have any specific questions or comments for me, however, please feel free to email me at the email address below.
Thanks so much for your time,

They thought it would never happen here…
Seemingly ripped from today’s headlines, Essential Liberty is an action-filled, thought-provoking work of fiction about governmental overreach and the abuse of power. Through believable characters and words that could have come from our current political debate, Essential Liberty asks, “What if?”…and then provides the answer.
The United States government has banned and begun confiscating firearms from its citizens.
Insurance executive Don Williams has never owned a gun and is part of the majority of Americans who initially favored “Collection” (the official term for confiscation), yet he’s shocked to see his fellow countrymen being rounded up on the evening news.
Don’s good friend, former Marine Mike Niculescu, owns many firearms and has refused to surrender them. The son of immigrants from Communist Romania reveres them as symbols of liberty.
Bill Payne, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, commands an ATF Hazardous Operations Team. These elite new teams are reserved for Collection operations with a high level of risk. Payne wants his unit to be the first to make headlines.
As the story unfolds, Don is forced to make a choice: Will he turn a blind eye to the abuse of power, or will he choose—for the first time in his life—to make a stand on principle that will put everything he cares about at risk?
