A Novel Idea

I have been toying with the idea for a while, but I have taken the plunge and decided to write a novel. The idea will be a work of fiction that will work as a vehicle for bringing in some of the tactical concepts from my non-fiction books Contact and Rapid Fire. I do aspire to the book being more than just a fictional instruction or tactical story though; I hope to make it interesting as a story in its own right.

It is not likely to be easy, and will take me some time to complete. The general concept is a sort of post-collapse resistance to enemies, perhaps foreign or domestic ;-)

I you have any thoughts of any areas you would like illustrated in the book. let me know and I will see if I can weave it into the storyline.

    • I’m reading your book ‘The Western Front’right now and just getting into it. I’m enjoying it!
      It will be a learning curve, I love to read so much but being on the other side and writing it will be a challenge….

  3. I have a splendid idea for a concept to include:

    A character named Kevin! :D

    Cheers, and I wish you the best! Writing fiction is tough. I’m working on a documentary at the moment and storyboarding is killing me! I’ve written short stories in the past, but not sure if I could do the whole novel thing.

    I AM working on a corporate-oriented/private sector-focused book on responding to active shooters, though. It’s much easier, as you know, to write about tactics and responses as opposed to exploring what makes a character do the things he’s doing, while making them real and likable.

    Best of luck! And I’m still reading Contact! Good stuff!

  4. Go for it! I recently finished Rapid fire, great book! I think you have a lot to knowledge to share.

  5. I won’t try to tell you how to write your novel (the only novel I’ve been able to get published is a murder mystery). I will suggest that you check out the books from WRITERS DIGEST for helpful information on novel writing. I’ve found them useful.
