Future Works

I have started a new book. The last time I wrote about Iowa Rising and Saving Israel, but the time isn’t right to do a stand-alone book, so I have been asked to do another series. This new series will be called Sea power with the books tentatively titled SEA BASE, SEA WARRIOR, and SEA STRIKE. For the Sailors among you, those titles and the series name should sound familiar. Of course, my interpretation of them may be slightly different from the Navy’s.

I have also moved from my favorite part of the globe, the Mediterranean, and am sailing into the West Pacific for this action-adventure series. I have only completed Chapter 1 and was nine-pages into Chapter 2, when I decided I didn’t like the way Chapter 2 was going, so am started over on it. I expect approximately 12 chapters for Sea Base and am excited over the idea of creating a floating island on top of Fast Sealift Ships. It may be 13-chapters---now, if I can only figure how to weave a little nymphomania into the plot.

We have an organization called Maritime Sealift Command-MSC. The MSC ships are gray like American warships, but they’re logistic ships and easily recognized by the blue and gold stripes painted around the funnels. Merchant seaman make up the bulk of the crew with a few Sailors shoved in amongst them to identify the ship as a Naval vessel. As the JOINT TASK FORCE series was dedicated to Amphibious Group Two in Norfolk, VA—the Sea power series will be dedicated to the Maritime Sealift Command.

That brings you up to date on my works and my future. Keep in touch. Drop me emails whenever you want and if you have questions about the newsletter or ideas for improving it, let me know. Now, remember one thing----It’s an American responsibility to exercise the right to vote. Get out and vote, regardless of whom you support.

Cheers,
David E. Meadows
