JOINT TASK FORCE LIBERIA — ISBN: 0-425-19206-7

This first book of the new JOINT TASK FORCE series has been released. I don't have the sales figures yet, but hope if you haven't read it, you'll call your favorite bookseller and ask him or her to reserve several hundred copies of the book for you when it arrives. Opps! For mass-market fiction, most bookstores only carry a few copies and when they're sold, they eventually get around to ordering more when the buying public keeps asking for them. By the time they sell out, the market has moved on to another series of books. So, call ahead and reserve a copy for yourself.

JOINT TASK FORCE AMERICA - ISBN: 0-425-19482-5

This second book of the Joint Task Force series is available for prepublication reservations both online or at your favorite book store. You can visit http://www.sixthfleet.com to order on line. And, can join our coordinated buying club.

Once again, my thanks for those who continue to shift my books from wherever a bookstore places them to the 'new arrivals' or 'recommended' shelves. From the nurse in Annapolis to the cowboy in Montana—even when no one buys the books, they are at least seeing movement. I am continuing to weigh the ethics of this, but so far the humor outweighs it. I have never heard any booksellers formally complain, but then again, I always wear a set of those eyeglasses with a nose and mustache attached. Those, plus the long raincoats help to divert their attention from the twenty or so books I'm shifting from the rank & file to a better place for attention.

I will close with my disclaimer to ensure everyone knows I have never met a bookseller I didn't like. (You can never tell when one of them might be reading this. Pissing off booksellers is like not eating your Mom's Thanksgiving dinner—difference is your Mom may invite you back.)

JOINT TASK FORCE AFRICA is Meadows' newest novel scheduled for release in March 2005.
