The Celts are not dead
I've had a fantasy title that I've been working on since 2021, Cryptwalker, which was one of my first full drafts. After writing The Kyrrah Incident, I've developed a deep love for linguistics and European culture through research for the Slavic setting. I intend to return to the Cryptwalker sequel with an Irish setting.
I would love to delve more into Irish history and Celtic languages. It is inspiring to see a family of languages I thought were extinct still in use in communities across Ireland and neighboring lands. Gaeilge has been difficult to learn, but it's fascinating to see how the structure of the words shapes a culture and identity.

He deserves the Medal of Honor and a destroyer named after him. Stick to the naming conventions.
Frankly, we shouldn’t name *any* carriers after people from here forward.
Intrepid, Lexington, Saratoga, Enterprise, Wasp, Hornet- all storied fighting flattops and those names need to live on.

I wanted to give fans an update on the Blue Dawn series. I have signed a contract with a publisher whom I have a great relationship with, WarGate Books, to reprint and continue the Blue Dawn series. This is really exciting news!
The books will be reedited, with new covers and a new introductions. We haven’t locked down timing yet but for fans of the series, this ensures you will be able to once more pick up the books you hadn’t gotten to yet.
I’m still working on the final book of the big story arc. While that covers the entire Second American Civil War, there are a LOT of other stories in that universe that are screaming to be told. Associating with WarGate hopefully will bring in new novels by others who might want to contribute to the series. @wargate

Ireland has spent €7 Billion on "Supporting Ukraine"
Meanwhile, entire streets in Irelands rural villages are abandoned, borded up, forgotten by the EU worshipping vassals in Dublin.
Imagine what that money, easily found for Ukraine, would do in these Irish villages?

I called Marxism an existential threat to America.
That comment has been twisted by my political opponents, which is how I know it’s not why I was pulled from SacAnime. I was pulled because I am a Republican candidate for office.
Funny enough, SacAnime’s decision proves my point. Silencing the opposition is a key component of Marxism and that is one reason why Marxism is an existential threat to our country.

With the release of The Kyrrah Incident settling down, I am polishing some of my other novels within the same series. This was another long book that I broke into three portions to compartmentalize the stories, and was the first in the All Guns to Starboard.
Book I: Red Frontier (WT) Brian Castillo and his team lead the first Joint Space Agency mission to Mars.
Book II: The evolution of the Mars from a fledgling research site to a global superpower. Castillo seeks revenge on his enemies in the name of his fallen comrades.
Book III: The cementation of Mars as the capital of an authoritarian empire and humanity's expansion across the solar system. The newly minted United Solar Colonies struggles to gain the will of the people, thus funds criminal syndicates to justify a military expansion of the Colonial Defense Forces.

Thank you all for the interest so far! I've managed to reach over 300 readers across the world over the course of the week. The promo lasts for four more hours if you'd still like to download for free.
I've received some valuable feedback about the promo and the book content, including some minor typos that got missed over the many rounds of editing. I'll make those corrections and update the manuscript, but this will not affect your download otherwise.
I appreciate everyone's support, and I'd love to hear from you if I haven't already.
I had to cut much of the content to fit into the already lengthy book, so my next project will be a series of vignettes with those cut stories, such as a first-person account of the Chuzhoy and the crashlanding of the colony ship, USC Pristina.

More pictures of the CDF Unnamed Assault Carrier, later named the Avenging Angel, and finally, the CDFN Hachiman.
It's about 60% complete, with about 40% of the interior filled in. Even with infinite time, I don't think I'd ever finish it completely.
If you'd like to play a copy of the world, let me know where I can upload! It's mostly made of wool, which is fantastic for color AND battle damage.
