Introducing Portsoy Woods

(The 90,000+ word book is actually in a 6x9 inch format)

                 I am pleased to announce the release of my third book, and first novel, Portsoy Woods. It is a novel which examines preparedness issues and a Virginia family.


 Portsoy Woods is the story of a young Northern Virginia intelligence analyst who convinces his wife that their young family and four small children, should relocate from the relative comforts of their suburban home to a large acreage tract in a very rural setting. This is a difficult decision for them to make  initially as it takes them from friends, family, and from good jobs with relatively negligible commutes. The decision to relocate is certainly, at first, counter-intuitive.

   They relocate and find that even within their own state a completely different rural culture, and to some degree different values exist in comparison to the suburban world they knew. Their journey and adaptation, new friends, and their learning is explored, as the economy and the culture of the country is in decline. They also ensure a continued deterioration of the United States, an economic collapse, some notable disasters including a national pandemic, personal losses and uncertainties. The family learns not only to provide help to family and friends, but when to graciously receive it themselves.

Although this book will probably attract those who are interested in preparedness, pre-emptive relocation and survivalism, this story of a family is about much more. Told from the perspective of the wife, a registered nurse, it also concerns the value of flexibility, resilience, hope, faith, loss and charity, for one's own family and for the community. It is a hopeful look at today's families and of rural life. Anyone who has ever tested the boundaries of their comfort zone in any venue will appreciate this book.

 
    For now, it can be purchased either on Amazon.com

Ultimately, distribution will be worldwide.

The Third Interview on Destiny Survival Radio

(Yes, I think they altered my picture with a head tilt.  It's magical what can be done with a computer !  LOL)

               Whether you have a spouse or partner of childbearing age or not, managing a pregnant woman or an impending delivery during a disaster or an emergency is a possibility for anyone who seeks to be prepared.    In my third radio interview on Destiny Survival with John Wesley Smith we discuss the sensitive topics of preparation for birth control in advance of a disaster. We also discuss the management of pregnant women during disasters.  We discussed at length the emergency delivery of a baby in a "birthing in place" scenario.

                 John Wesley Smith is an excellent interviewer.  This should be an interesting hour.

Upcoming Radio Interview by John Wesley Smith

          

 

   I was interviewed recently by John Wesley Smith regarding, my book Rational Preparedness: A Primer to Preparedness.

 You can hear this interview tomorrow on   Thursday at 1 PM Central Standard Time (That's 2 PM in Eastern Standard Time)  at the
following link:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/doctorprepper/2013/05/30/destiny-survival-radio

 

John discusses this interview in the following article at:

 

A Nurse Talks about Rational Preparedness on Destiny Survival

and

A Nurse Talks about Rational Preparedness which appears in Before It's News

 

 

 

        John is a great interviewer.  He is calm and asks great questions.  Please tune in if you can.

I do believe the show will be archived afterward, and so it should be possible to hear this episode   in its entirety afterward.

 

           Meanwhile,  I have to tell you about a musical group I only recently discovered.

A group of Miami based musicians who have won Grammy awards for other projects got together in order to advance a more conservative, and shall we say, less socialist political agenda.   Their music is not only seamless, and the guitar work is incredible, but the songwriting and performance is very strong.  These are just a couple of the songs from their new album.    This group calls themselves The Voters.

           

This is a wonderful Medley of the songs on this album

    Their album is called Electile Dysfunction.   You can purchase it on Amazon at:

My New Preparedness Book is Out !

Rational Preparedness: A Primer to Preparedness is an eighty one page book of quick actions devoted to preparing families for natural or man-made disasters.

                   I knew or I had hoped that the book would be ready soon. You can imagine my surprise when this morning, right after voting, I came home and found that the book is ready for orders and that the website is now in place !
                   It was my intent in writing this book to provide families, even those who had no prior interest in preparedness, with a guide to not only prepare for sheltering-in-place situations but for evacuation situations as well.  This is a basic and comprehensive book designed to ready families, and their pets for situations in which they need to have both advance preparations and to take action.

 First, there was the Rational Preparedness radio program.  Then, this blog was born as a supplement to items I mentioned there. It provided a place to look up web addresses and phone numbers of products I had mentioned I had used, or to enlarge upon information that I had touched upon in the show.

                 Now, at long last I introduce the book Rational Preparedness.    This is designed to be a good overview of issues to consider in organizing and planning family preparedness.  Responding to listener's requests, it is a no nonsense carefully set out survey of prime considerations for those seeking to prepare families for both natural; disasters and man-made varieties as quickly as possible, and then to remain as a reference thereafter.


                    The book is available by order from Amazon, from Barnes and Noble online, or from the website:

          www.rationalpreparednessbook.com


 It is available in both hardcover and softcover versions and also in e-book.


Just in case you have any difficulties with the website, you can buy it at:
