  1. Oh. It's a series?Let me know when all the books are out then I will read it. I now only read series that are completed so in case you die I am not left hanging.Disclaimer. ASOIAF are expempt because I stupidly read them before the series was finished (if it ever will be). But they are really good so I will have no qualms about re-reading them before book 6 comes out.
    I'm on a month to month release schedule. February 15th will see the second novel in the series "Skyfire" If I manage to keep to my schedule, I should be releasing the first in my private detective on Mars series "Rosetta" in March (those will be stand alone novels... no need for the full series to understand what's going on)
  2. RICKER!Why would LoisMustDie and Ricker both come back within a day of each other after not posting for like 2 years. Weird.Also Ricker, BillyPilgrim is SuitedAces21, so don't think too long about any of his jaded criticism. When Suited was exiting his mother's vagina, he called her a whore.
    we're each other's alts...Thanks guys!!And yeah, I've been hearing a lot about my crummy description... I think it's because I'm either 1) too close to it because I have an idea of the larger world where it's heading over the next few novels I'm publishing or 2) I suck?Either way... thank you all for your feedback/support... I've missed ya'all!!!
  3. Hey everyone - It's been a long time since I logged on here, but I wanted to promote my new book that I just finished and published through Smashwords (I got tired of all the rejection letters). I'm hoping that my old friends here on FCP might like to check it out for free!(Mods, I'm hoping this isn't considered spam... if it is, I apologize and feel free to delete the topic!)Here's all the info:A modern day science fiction tale about a set of alien artifacts left on our planet to help Humanity avoid certain destruction. A thrilling tale that mixes romance, cutting edge science, the consequences of the choices we make, and oh yeah, the fate of our entire civilization. If you are at all interested, here is the link:http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/123486Use the coupon code BA23X code and it will be free of charge downloaded instantly to your e-reader (all platforms available).I truly believe that Smashwords is doing the e-book publishing right which is why I've given it a shot. I'm hoping that there will be some book lovers who will do the same for me!R.J. JohnsonA more complete description of my book follows below:Alex McCray was only ten years old when he found the first of the Twelve Stones. Unnerved by the incredible power, Alex's father took the stone away from his child promising to return it when he was ready. Twenty two years later, Alex returns to his hometown of Onyx, California to reunite with his father. Their reunion is cut short after billionaire industrialist Rupert Kline murders Alex's father using one of the Twelve Stones in his possession.Driven by revenge, Alex McCray vows to bring his father's killer's to justice and keep the Twelve Stones out of the hands of Rupert Kline. A thrilling tale that mixes romance, cutting edge science, the consequences of the choices we make and oh yeah, the fate of human civilization.

  4. I am the news director and morning show contributer to 3 small stations in central Minnesota. It is not online or I would be happy to share it will the FCP community.
    Nice, what station do you work for? I'm in radio doing afternoons here in SoCal
  5. Example one:Steve wants to mate with Mary, Mary wants to mate with Steve, but Carl who is bigger and stronger beats up Steve to takes Mary. Example two:Iraq has oil. Russia wants oil. Russia has proven that it doesn't care about human rights or lives, but it is afraid of America that does believe in them. Russia does not attack. Neither does America.Which example is more indicative of Darwinian Evolution and which is more based on morality?
    Your analogy is flawed. You can't compare simple interpersonal relationships to an incredibly complex policy issue.It'd be more like Steve wants to mate with Mary, Mary wants to mate with Steve, But Carl who is bigger and stronger tries to beat up Steve to take Mary, but Steve calls the police (allies), or breaks out a handgun and blasts that douchebag away. Or something like that anyway.
  6. I'm not complaining about the money, or the idea that the government took too much of our money and is returning some of it ( Thank you Republicans )I am complaining that the percentage you guys get is way way way higher than the percentage I get.Which is a exact same complaint I have to hear when we all get a tax cut. Only reverse.If you are not one of those people that whines when a republican tries to let us keep more of our money, then this does not apply to you.
    Actually I believe this won't apply to you anyway. From what I understand, the rebate is scheduled for people who make under $80,000 a year ($120,000 if you're a couple). Seems exactly what the middle class needs. More mobnies to create the illusion of security and wealth when in reality, you have neither.
  7. The time is an up-front investment. I've knocked off the music industry for an easy $15,000, and I can't even imagine (partially because I delete them to make room) how much I've ripped Hollywood off for. Then there's the porn industry, and my biggest vice, downloaded TV shows.... It's gotta' be $50,000, in totally, and considering how expensive porno DVDs are these days, it's probably more. It doesn't take 30seconds to find something and get it downloading. How much hassle is it to go to the store or use Amazon?
    mine too, but I pay for cable so I don't feel like I'm REALLY ripping anyone off on that...
  8. Free and open debate, followed by public executions of the atheistUS auto makers will be forced by law to get their heads out of their rears and make good cars again.All music will be free, all musicians will no longer be allowed to talk about what they think, they will only be allowed to sing.Actors will be paid the same as teachersMovie popcorn will be required to offer real butter, no more oily crapSpeed limit on highways..80San Francisco will be forced to succeed secedeCigars will not be taxesNo more graduated income tax, 17% flat tax on everyone, especially the poorFree healthcare to everyone that never smokes, drinks, eats fast food or drives a car, otherwise you are on your ownDid we kill the lawyers yet?Dead beat dads, meet the IRSLegalize marijuana....screw everything else including booze and pills.
    FTFY
  9. How is that ironic? If there were no "worship allah or die" there would be no problem, now, would there be? I realize that you are saying, "Oh, he is a christian, and now look how he is talking, oh that so ironic, now hes the killer ha ha ha" but the truth is that makes you a ****ing moron, no offense. If my goal is kill you because of what I believe, and you decide that it may be best that you kill me first so you aren't dead, that's not ironic. Thats ****ing self preservation, and perfectly normal and acceptable from the standpoint that, well, the U.S. is a nice place to live. I don't want to see it end, do you? Do you want to walk around with your face covered- do you want to be a second class citizen? Would you like to keep your ability to even state your opinion on a forum such as this? If so, you may want to ****ing wake up. Honestly, I mean no offense by this, but sometimes the absolute ignorance of people in there responses to what make sense from a defensive standpoint is infuriating, and to think that you most likely vote makes me absolutely cringe.
    You're right. This incident is not connected in anyway to what is going on in the middle east. :club::D :D :D :D :) :) :) Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, you can all sleep better tonite. The forces that we are at war with in the middle east, they are a problem no where else. Thank God vonteego3 pointed this out to me, I was so misled. I want to thank you, sincerely, and offer you this little tidbit of advice: Please, don't vote.
    Do you just wake up everyday with the uncontrollable urge to troll FCP? The idea that violence is the only thing "they" understand is a racist and backwards way of thinking. Do you know what really saved Europe after WWII? The rebuilding efforts led mostly by a huge infusion of US cash and resources. If the US spent the same amount rebuilding the Middle East as they currently spend on active duty troops, the goodwill created would do more in beating the terrorist threat than any number of bodies we produce in a war that has the US headed into a recession.
