Article on the financing of Rebels and Criminal Syndicates

This is a link to an article that briefly touches on how war is financed in the Eastern DRC. I hope to get more into depth about the Kivu provinces and the worldwide syndicate that works to plunder the DRC. It is a deep and long trail and these type of articles are a primer to go along with my Novel.

Red Letter Weekend for TFI

Being the first book I've published, I am experimenting with the market and audiences and finding a way to match up with people who would be my audience. I set a free promotion for Jan 2 for about 6 hours. I had to call a halt at around 200 downloads. The ticker continued the rest of the day and a review went up on Jack Murphy's Reflexive Fire www.reflexivefire.com

Though I missed the profits on those books, I see a bright future for the cast of Task Force Intrepid. A novella should be out within 8 weeks, detailing one of Kruger's missions in 2003 in the Liberian Civil War. Tentatively titled, Hotel Liberia.
