My publisher got back with me this morning…everything has the green light and it’s finally going to press! The LCCN (Library of Congress Number) really threw a wrench in the process…mental note, on the next novel, apply for the LCCN first LOL… The novel will be available directly from www.Pandemic-Dawn.com, Amazon.com, book stores, etc… within the next few days.

I fainally received the LCCN (Library of Congress Number) so now I just have to wait for the publisher to add it to the copyright page of the book and it will FINALLY be ready for open market!

Pandemic Dawn will be available in Book Stores, some Libraries, online book stores, such as Amazon.com, and of course on the Pandemic Dawn website.

Once everything is finalized at the publisher, I will post a links page showing everywhere Pandemic Dawn will be available.

Pandemic Dawn 300 Word Pitch

Pandemic Dawn

With the recent events in health issues over the past few years, the general population has been introduced to the possibility of a global virus capable of killing untold millions.  AIDS, the Asian Bird Flu, and more recently the H1N1 “Swine Flu” have caused concern for nearly everyone in the world.  This led me to write Pandemic Dawn, a first novel of approximately 70,000 words that captures these fears of “what-if” and places the readers in the middle of the aftermath in a manner similar to the way Cormac McCarthy’s The Road captured the struggles of everyday survival.

As history has already shown, civilization remains vulnerable to disease, whether this threat is a natural occurrence, or a manufactured biological weapon.  There are currently thousands of gallons of the active virus small pox which is missing from Russian labs at this very moment, and this fact caused the U.S. to maintain their own samples of this deadly virus in case it was used in a biological attack, and we need to make an anti-virus.

Pandemic Dawn tells the story of Taylor, a business man who has lost contact with his son and is trying to find him in this new world of disease, anarchy and chaos.  Along the way he discovers a ring of slave traders who buy and sell women and children for profit which forces him to make a moral decision whether to help them and risk never finding his son, or to continue looking for his son and leave them to their fate.

This novel combines a suspenseful journey of conflict with romance and loyalty.  It is a gripping story of one man searching for his lost son and finding hope, while another who searches for a lost cure discovers his true identity.

Book Release Update

I am waiting to hear back from the Library of Congress on the LCCN number. Hopefully it will be in the next day or so.

I really wanted to release the book already. The editing is complete, and the printer is ready to go…but we can’t do anything until I get the LCCN number from the Library of Congress.
