  • Plummeting Barrel Prices?


    One of today's Associated Press headlines stated: "Oil prices plummet more than $6 amid economic fear."

    I understand what this statement means in relation to the stock market and current pricing. I guess it's all relative but a "plummet" in my world would be if barrel prices dropped back down to $86.00.

  • The New AmericaN (America with an 'N') Alliance


    The other day I was asked by a reader whether the organization in my book called "New AmericaN (America with an 'N') Alliance" (or NAA for short), was real.

    The answer is "NO".

    The name of the organization, the groups activities and goals are fictitious. It's made up and they DO NOT exist. If such an organization or group does exist, I'm not aware of them and do not know what they're called.

    Please do not confuse the made up group in the book with "THE NEW AMERICA (without an 'N') ALLIANCE" made up of Latino business leaders based in Texas. There's absolutely no similarities whatsoever between the two groups. If anything you can say, if my group did exist, they're at opposite ends of the pole...lol!

    It's funny how a little type-o can change the outcome of any interent search. Since I have poor hand control, I make more than my fair share and know how easy it is to do.

    Although I appreciate all the comments received and think it's pretty cool that readers are taking the time to look stuff up, please remember the book is fiction.

    By definition of fiction, the story’s made up. It’s an embellishment or exaggeration of what could or couldn’t be real.

    To put everyone's mind at ease, please read the second page of the book. For those who haven't bought the book yet, the second page clearly states:

    This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to any person or persons, living or dead, events or locales is entirely coincidental.
