In April of 2020, as businesses were shutting down across the country due to COVID-19, I wanted to do something to drive traffic to local independent bookstores at a time when most people were sequestered in their homes. My small gesture of support came in the form of limited-edition Savage Son bookplates available only through independent bookstores. I published the list of participating bookstores with contact information on my website and they sold out immediately. In April of 2021, in an effort to continue supporting the local independent bookstores I love so much, I replicated that campaign for the publication of The Devil’s Hand. Those also sold out immediately. For the publication of In the Blood, a sniper-centric novel of violent resolutions, it was time to move things to the next level and send a bullet through title pages that are bound into the book, those bullets making each novel a one-of-a-kind edition. Once again, they sold out immediately. In 2023 I continued the tradition for the publication of Only the Dead, a novel of truth and consequences, using a clone of an Iraqi Tabuk AK built by the legendary Jim Fuller of Fuller Phoenix. It is a clone of the Kalashnikov that James Reece uses at the end of The Devil’s Hand.

This year, for the publication of my seventh novel, Red Sky Mourning, I once again visited my friends at the Park City Gun Club in Park City, Utah to start sending rounds through signed title pages. This time I used a Flux Defense Raider X, chassis with a SIG Sauer P320 set up with a SIG Sauer MODX-9 suppressor, Aimpoint T2, on a Scalarworks mount, SureFire X300T, Ferro Concepts single point sling, with Speer Gold Dot G29mm 147 grain ammo which all fit nicely in a Vertx Ardennes Valet Bag – a setup as close as I could get to what is used in the novel.

If you are looking for a unique addition to your library, find limited “shot through” editions of Red Sky Mourning, a novel that explores the loyalty between friends, family, Teammates, and country, at independent bookstores via the links below.

Perfect for the holidays!
