Bestselling Author Of Terror Strikes, Joseph M Lenard, Partners With The Babylon Bee

While the Babylon Bee is renowned for creating fake and mock headlines centered on Christian News Satire for entertainment, sadly the real terrorism headlines are concerning for everyone all over the globe.

 Joseph M Lenard, author of a bestselling historical fiction novel, "Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You", has announced a partnership with The Babylon Bee. In the tradition of other satire sites such as The Onion, The Bee has everyone and everything on their radar, from President Trump to Joel Osteen, Zelensky, Biden and The Rings of Power. As stated on their website, "The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life."

That long list includes terrorism, which is why bestselling author Lenard decided to partner with The Bee.

“I have loved parody and satire my entire life and also engaged in development of meme satirical absurdities with a biting point about reality myself,” says Joseph M Lenard “but never to the ‘new degree’ that Babylon Bee has taken the art to.” Which is why he feels such a partnering makes perfect sense. The degree of seriousness of our times calls for the need to maintain a sense-of-humor or we’d be curled up in a corner in the fetal position crying all the time out of fear. Which raises a serious point about Terror Strikes, meant to be about life and living and not death, a warning and sound advice, without trying to engage in mainstream-media style ‘fear-porn’ reporting.

Joe maintains that philosophy of ‘everything in moderation’ aspects of life and love versus the hate and death, fun balanced against seriousness, even amidst some very somber pages in “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You” ensuring there is a degree of humor therein also; which again makes the blend of his fact and fiction, (which he calls a “FACTion” genre), a good fit with the Bee blend of fiction to make serious points.

"Terror Strikes" will have a prominent placement in The Bee’s October, email edition, Newsletter “Babylon’s Best” section.

Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", “philosophical”, “amazingly crafted”, “definitive book on this topic of our time”, “a much needed wake-up call”, and utterly "unique".

This book is intended for all audiences - young, old, male and female, religious and non-religious; political and non-political. Within the context of a chilling work of fiction, it shows us who the terrorists are, what they have done, what they are doing, and why they will never be able to be persuaded to stop.

Joseph Lenard shreds the “creative writing process formulaic methodologies” to create a writing style and literature like no other author before. The book has been compared to "The Sum of All Fears" meets "Deep Impact".

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in this #1 bestselling historical fiction novel.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of"Terror Strikes": "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Whether you are a staunch conservative, a prepper (ready for the worst), or just have concerns about what is happening in American life and society today, "Terror Strikes" will answer many of the questions you have regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, and will make for a remarkable reading experience.

New Bestselling Historical Fiction Book By Joseph M. Lenard, Terror Strikes, Encourages Situational Awareness On A International Level

Lenard’s gripping historical fiction novel is a political thriller detailing the life of a journalist who sets out to write a book about terrorism and gets more than he bargained for.

The best historical fiction books are those that tie into current events. This brings a sense of heart-pounding realism to the table that might be lacking in historical fiction novels that have little or no anchor in current reality. The headlines today, from the recent killing of Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri to the brazen attack on Salman Rushdie, dramatically illustrate that terrorism is not going away any time soon – most likely never. Terrorism will have wide-ranging effects on American society both now and in the future. Lenard gives us a glimpse into what has happened and what we can expect to happen.

Terror Strikes is not a book about death, but one about life and living, and of those enemies, both foreign and domestic, that would deprive others of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", “philosophical”, “amazingly crafted”, and utterly "unique".

US Strike On Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri Is Long Overdue Says Joseph M. Lenard, Author Of Bestselling Historical Fiction Novel, Terror Strikes

Al-Zawahiri was killed by US forces in Afghanistan on Sunday.

On Monday, President Biden announced that a counterterrorism operation took out Ayman Al-Zawahiri, an Al Qaeda leader involved in the September 11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City as well as being a major player in the slaughter of Egyptian Leader Anwar Sadat in 1981. The operation took place nearly 11 years after the 9/11 attack on US soil.

"Finally," was the first phrase bestselling author Joseph M. Lenard uttered. He then went more in-depth with his analysis of the situation:

"These strikes do more than just take out one leader. They have a cascading effect of turmoil within the ranks of the enemy. Several emerging leaders, wanting to fill the void created, might now create internal fighting as they jockey to take Al Zawahiri's place. While they squabble within, they have less time to plot large-scale operations, or engage operationally prior existing plans not yet undertaken. Local intelligence is more important than ever - to be vigilant against threats of smaller scale retaliation strikes from rogue sympathetic unofficial cells, or radicalized individuals that may react, similar to the Wisconsin Christmas Parade assault, that might be put into motion."

According to an article on NBC News, "In 2001, al-Zawahiri escaped U.S. forces when they invaded Afghanistan and toppled the previous Taliban government, which had refused to hand over bin Laden in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Al-Zawahiri's whereabouts were long unknown."

As stated on the ABC News site, Biden, "hailed the operation as a significant win in the fight against terror groups overseas -- including, as the White House was quick to point out almost a year after the messy exit from Afghanistan, in countries where the U.S. no longer maintains a military presence." In the same article, Biden was quoted as saying, "We continue to mourn every innocent life that was stolen on 9/11 and honor their memories. To the families who lost fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and coworkers on that searing September day, it is my hope that this decisive action will bring one more measure of closure."

Joseph M Lenard goes on to comment about the Biden address to the Nation regarding the Al Zawahiri assault on his Terror Strikes websites blog: https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/al-zawahiri-was-killed-by-us-forces-in-afghanistan-on-sunday.

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact.

Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", and utterly "unique".

Terror Strikes connects the dots of not just foreign terrorists, but those both foreign and domestic, that abhor Western culture and their attempts through terror attacks and other more shadowy undermining of our collective freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

January 6 Hearings and The Overblown Right Wing Extremist Terrorism Narrative Addressed By Joseph M. Lenard, Author Of Bestselling Historical Fiction Book, Terror Strikes

Lenard is the author of the #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes.

Bestselling author Joseph M. Lenard recently addressed what has become known as the "right wing extremist terrorism narrative" including the “January 6 Hearings” (deemed as a White Nationalist insurrection). In the first post he presents powerful evidence that "there is very little credence to right-wing terrorism." Instead, he makes the point that it is an "overblown left-wing false narrative to peddle a left-wing agenda."

Specifically, he addresses the myriad of questions the false narrative peddling "January 6 hearings" Star Chamber Show leaders refuse to ask or address, as well as the evidence (or cross-examination under the 6th Amendment protections/guarantees) to counter the accusations and provide substantiation of exoneration. He also asks “where was the outrage,” when left-wing activists occupied both the Wisconsin and U.S. Capitol buildings, and the occupation of the Gallery and disruption (outburst attempts, in violation of Gallery Guest policy/rules,) to unsettle and influence the Kavanaugh hearings, years prior?

In the Washington Post, in a piece titled "Beware the data on American right-wing violence," by Megan McArdle, we find a number of important points that support that position. The article reads in part:

“I’m not cherry-picking a few ambiguous outliers; I’m arguably describing the majority of the incidents in the ADL’s 2021 report. Every one of these killings is a horrific tragedy. But it’s not clear they all have much to do with politics, as the ADL itself acknowledges.”

“One of the most striking features of white supremacist murders is the large proportion of non-ideological killings to ideological killings,” the ADL wrote in its most recent report. “Over the past 10 years, only 86 of the 244 white supremacist killings (35%) were ideological murders.”

One reason for this confusion is that all prison gangs tend to be organized along racial lines, for complex sociological reasons, yet only the White gangs are coded as white-supremacist groups rather than criminal organizations.

Lenard went on to quote Dr. Emeritus Rik Coolsaet, Thomas Renard in "What The Zeitgeist Can Tell Us About The Future Of Terrorism":

“In the United States and across Europe, there is a broad recognition that right-wing extremism has become either the main terrorist threat, or at the very least a seriously growing concern. The racially motivated attack by an 18-year-old in May 2022 in Buffalo (NY), deliberately targeting African Americans and killing ten people before being arrested, was but the latest in a long series of lethal right-wing plots and attacks in the West. In parallel, a relative decline of jihadi activities in Western countries has been noted, resulting in a new balance of (perceived) terrorist threats."

In response Lenard wrote that, "NEO-NAZI groups that exist/operate in America (and several Western Nations . . . ) are all LEFT WING organizations.”

Joseph M Lenard further addresses the issue during speaking engagements on this topic by talking about the lack of education, or rather indoctrination and mis-education, of American youth about Civics – with the proper doctrines - as the right-wing on the political spectrum is anarchy (no government, complete unobstructed freedoms of/for/by all), and the left of the spectrum (including Communism, Fascism, Monarchy, Socialism) is toward full-government controls by one-person, one-party, or “deep-state,” over populace and dictates, with the United States Constitutional Republic a center-right creation by our Founders. “A [representative, Constitutional] Republic, [not a Democracy, mob-rule society, where minority groups within populace retain rights] if you can keep it” as Benjamin Franklin famously stated. Calling left-wing groups like ANTIFA and more using anarchist associated tactics as “right-wing” is pure spin and deception to peddle a false narrative.

These issues/points are further addressed and expounded upon in the two original blogs at https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/was-jan6-a-white-nationalists-insurrection and https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/the-overblown-right-wing-extremist-terrorism-narrative.

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact.

Bestselling Author Joseph M. Lenard, Who Predicted Overturning Of Roe Vs Wade In Historical Fiction Novel Terror Strikes, Issues Statement On Supreme Court's Recent Rulings

Lenard is the author of the #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes.

The Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe Vs Wade has created a firestorm in the US, with all major news organizations carrying the story. The major networks, including ABC, NBC and CBS all approach the ruling from slightly different perspectives. CNN ran a story on how some states were moving quickly to ban abortion and how this will reshape politics. The New York Times noted the protests being held nationwide. Reuters stated that the Vatican is praising the decision. NPR provided a list of the states that have banned abortion.

In short, the Roe V Wade decision is one of the most polarizing topics in recent US history. That will likely not change any time soon. From the majority opinion: "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences... It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives..."

Joseph M. Lenard, bestselling author of Terror Strikes, and member of Michigan’s Upper-Downriver Right-To-Life organization, predicted that Roe V Wade would be overturned in his book. He recently issued a statement, titled "OVERTURNED," on his website. That statement reads in part:

"Let’s be clear: RoeVWade was based upon faulty grounds. Even far-left Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had admitted such. The grounds to murder babies was never actually established within flimsy privacy question of that ruling. So, can I murder someone as long as I do so in the privacy of my own home if I promise to sell off their body parts like PP does? (of course not).

“I knew thee before you were formed in your Mother’s womb.

"One does not have to take the Word of someone from the ACLJ or conservative group to understand this. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, in speech to University of Chicago Law School, admitted RoeVWade was a very narrowly focused ruling and she lamented how it did not go far enough toward deciding the actual broader issue of abortion (and establish the ability to kill a child in the womb). Many failed in the decades that followed, in holding the narrow-ruling, but instead allowed Democrats to falsely establish a broader doctrine of/from that ruling via lower court liberal-activist rulings."

The full piece is available at https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/overturned-just-as-other-bad-precedences-were-previously-overturned-so-too-now-roevwade, and even includes access (audio) to WAAM Radio “Abolitionists RoundTable” show/discussion (of which Joseph took part) about the Roe overturn, facts not feelings, what must come next.

From “Terror Strikes” book…

"Abolitionists, the primary founders of the Republican Party, overturned SLAVERY while Democrats insisted Blacks weren’t HUMAN. Likewise, the GOP will overturn Abortion while Democrats make the same false narrative today those babies are just a clump of cells in the womb and aren’t human...

The Republican Party was the sole driving force in getting passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and under EQUALITY of ALL HUMANS Abortion would eventually over-turned as everyone knows, despite their denials, a HUMAN in the womb has Rights under the 14th Amendment..."    (page 79)

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact.

Terror Strikes connects the dots of not just foreign terrorists, but those both foreign and domestic, that abhor Western culture and their attempts through terror attacks and other more shadowy undermining of our collective freedom to enjoy life, individual/personal liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Bruce Fleury (author himself of: “The Negro Project: Margaret Sanger's Diabolical, Duplicitous, Dangerous, Disastrous and Deadly Plan for [killing] Black America“) wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Suicides Rates Rise Among Veterans, Police Officers, Even After The End Of Covid Lockdowns - Joseph M. Lenard, Bestselling Author Of Historical Fiction Novel, Terror Strikes, Shows Us How To Help Those Having Suicidal Thoughts

Lenard is the author of the #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. Suicide is a sub-theme in his highly praised book.

In a recent piece on Military.com, titled, "Since 9/11, Suicide Has Claimed Four Times More Military Lives Than Combat," it was stated that, "More than four times as many troops and veterans of the wars since 9/11 are believed to have died by suicide than were killed in the wars themselves, a new study from Brown University has found.

"In a paper released Monday as part of its Costs of War series, Brown's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs estimates that 30,177 active-duty personnel and veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken their own lives over the last nearly 20 years."

That is staggering. And it is not only veterans. In a recent article on CBS17.com, it was stated that, "The suicide rate among law enforcement officers is rising. Nationwide, on average, the risk of suicide among police is 54 percent higher than workers in other industries."

These are but a few of the headlines in the news today detailing suicide rates in stressful occupations. We have also seen rises in suicides in other groups, most notably teens. Why is this happening and what can we do about it? Joseph M. Lenard, author of the bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes, recently posted an article in which he offers an up close and very personal look at suicide, and offers advice regarding how we might help those who are having suicidal thoughts. In that article, he said in part:

"Back in 2018 we had two high profile suicides with Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain in just a couple of days’ time, but on average 22 Veterans commit suicide daily. Sadly too, those who serve as first responders often fall prey to thoughts of suicide, as well as those with survivors-guilt from heinous criminal and terrorist acts (I discuss this as a sub-theme in my book: Terror Strikes – Coming soon to a City near you!). My thoughts and prayers go out to their families. I have had several on-air interviews with local radio show hosts, over the lockdowns about the spikes in suicide attempts due to the even greater isolation, especially among teens.”

"Why do I speak with local radio about suicide? I certainly do not often share this publicly; though the local hosts know; but in 2006 I attempted suicide via an over-dose on drugs. Obviously, that was not a successful attempt - as I'm still here. Every day and every night I still struggle with and fight those feelings, so I know what they deal with.”

"I had lost my job and gone onto Social Security Disability in 2004, that led to divorce, which culminated one night in 2006 that something just snapped. Note: others' situations will obviously be different, especially our Veterans suffering PTSD, but regardless of what may seem minor to you, are major catastrophes in their mind and may lead to the same dark place and that suicide is the right option. It is not.”

"For me, it was almost surreal, like I wasn't even in control of myself as I took one pill (regular nightly dose) and then, just took another, then several, then a handful. I have no idea how much time later, I awoke in the hospital. I still, all these years on, struggle daily with these thoughts and issues.”

"This is something that can afflict male or female, young or old, rich or poor, whatever. I hope that Spade and Bourdain and their families have found some degree of peace. I hope you will join me in thoughts and Prayers, and if you don't mind - if you could include me in those that I can find God's comfort and strength, I'd appreciate it.”

“So, now would be a good and important time to reach out to all your family and friends and remind them how much you love them and how much you appreciate them being around. You are not likely to know that someone in your circle is feeling this way. I can't speak 'statistically', but only from my own circumstances and feelings, that they are likely to also feel that they cannot reach out to you - as you will not understand, or may be dismissive, or think less of them.

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact. Joseph M. Lenard shreds the “creative writing process formulaic methodologies” to create a writing style and literature like no other author before.

Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", and utterly "unique".

Terror Strikes connects the dots of not just foreign terrorists, but those both foreign and domestic, that abhor Western culture and their attempts through terror attacks and other more shadowy undermining of our collective freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Whether you are a staunch conservative, a prepper, or just have concerns about what is happening in American life and society today, Terror Strikes will answer many of the questions you have regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, and will make for a remarkable reading experience.

Mining Asteroids: Author S. Evan Townsend's Speculative Fiction Fantasy May Now Become Reality

Before the recent announcement by Planetary Resources (PRI) detailing their plan to mine near Earth asteroids, author S. Evan Townsend released, 'Rock Killer'. In the book, Space Resources, Inc. (SRI) mines asteroids for the riches a populated Earth needs without degrading the planet

When author S. Evan Townsend released his latest novel, 'Rock Killer', he never dreamed that the premise of his novel might be come reality just a few short months later. Nevertheless, it now seems a work of speculative fiction, based in science, may become reality much sooner than expected.

Planetary Resources recently announced its intention to find the first near Earth orbit asteroid that might be mined for minerals. The initiative is backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, current CEO Larry Page and director James Cameron, among others.

In 'Rock Killer', Space Resources, Inc. (SRI) mines asteroids for the riches a populated Earth needs without degrading the planet. Yet there are those opposed to progress in whatever its form such as the Gaia Alliance, a front group for eco-terrorists. During a violent attack on the Moon, the terrorists steal an exploration ship, arm it, and rename it the Rock Killer. Simultaneously, SRI Director Alexander Chun is traveling to the asteroid belt to bring a kilometer-long nickel-iron rock back to Earth orbit to mine for its valuable metals. Following him and his multi-national team is the Rock Killer. Without armaments, millions of miles from help, Chun must stop those who threaten him and the lives of his crew.

“I started writing Rock Killer,” Townsend stated, “after there was a spate of eco-terrorist events in the U.S. Pacific Northwest in the late 1990's.  I wondered what motivated these people and what would happen if there were such attacks in the future on what they perceived to be ‘bad for the environment.’  What if they wanted to stop the mining of asteroids for the resources a crowded planet needs and how would they do it?  Now PRI is going to be doing almost the exact same thing I wrote about.  I set 'Rock Killer' about 50 years in the future.  I never expected to see it in reality so soon."

'Rock Killer' follows Townsend's two previous novels, ‘Agent Of Artifice’ and ‘Hammer Of Thor’. His body of work, blends of historical fiction and fantasy, has received numerous 5 star reviews and have placed him in the top echelon of America’s speculative fiction writers. Townsend is a builder of worlds - fantastic yet familiar, slightly off-kilter worlds, filled with characters and storylines that breathe new life into the genre that is speculative fiction.

Townsend writes in the tradition of Robert Heinlein, and his writing has been compared to both Heinlein and Piers Anthony. Townsend's approach is to begin in the real world - everyday reality - and then to twist that reality, heat it up a bit, spin it and mold it seamlessly into fiction. The dividing lines between what is real and what is fictional become blurred. Townsend's writings are heavily researched to ensure both historic and scientific accuracy. All of his works offer captivating tales of fun adventure, wrapped tightly around a solid iron core of fact and accuracy.

“People will enjoy this book,” Townsend continued, “because it is a fast-paced action adventure with a multifaceted plot that ranges from Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Syria, the Moon, and out to the Asteroid Belt.  It combines action, terrorism, political intrigue, romance, and science into a story of heroic men and women trying to save the lives of their fellow humans.  ‘Rock Killer’ is an all-too-plausible yet futuristic story of terrorism and those who are caught in its sights and those trying to stop it.”

Townsend is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sheltown@donobi.net. More information is available at his website. All Townsend’s works, including ‘Rock Killer’ are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, World Castle Publishing and at other online book sites.

US Political Scandals Started With George Washington Says S. Thomas Bailey, Author Of ‘The Gauntlet Runner’

S. Thomas Bailey, author of the historical fiction novel ‘The Gauntlet Runner’ offers a look at the history of the French and Indian War that is raw, unromanticized and real

Author S. Thomas Bailey has released his latest historical fiction novel, ‘The Gauntlet Runner’. In the tradition of 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Unforgiven', 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'Spartacus', S. Thomas Bailey captures the raw essence and the harsh realities of the French and Indian War period in his stark depiction of early Colonial America.‘The Gauntlet Runner’ transports readers back to a time when early settlers risked their lives to expand a young, growing nation. The book stays true to the facts and, in doing so, offers a glimpse of George Washington that may surprise some readers.

"Many people are not aware," stated Bailey, "that George Washington, the first President of the United States, held ambitions to become a commissioned officer in the British army.  It was in 1755 colonial America and he was placed on Major-General Edward Braddock's staff as an Aide de Camp, a high honor for a mere colonial.  Liked by Braddock, and understanding that an expected British victory at a planned attack on the French-held Fort Duquesne would lead to his commission, Washington was well on his way to reaching his goal.  There was even speculation that Braddock had a plan for a new British company with Washington as its Major. As fate had it, the British were routed near the Monongahela River, Braddock was killed and any chance of Washington's commission was lost in the vast wilderness. Twenty some years later, Washington would stand face-to-face against the same British army he had once so admired. The same colonist, this time the leader of an army bent on changing the world."

Above all, Bailey’s work is true to life and pulls no punches. ‘The Gauntlet Runner’ tells a tale of fractured lives, broken treaties and the stark realities of the struggles faced by early American settlers as they risked life and limb to cultivate the seed of a new nation.

Bailey is known for writing heart pounding historical fiction, firmly rooted in well-researched historical fact. A recent Reader’s Favorite review stated ‘Bailey is an incredible writer and his long hours of research are evident. I could easily see this plot on the silver screen. I grew up watching Hawkeye, Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket. It is wonderful to read a high quality work of fiction about our country's turbulent history . . .'

S. Thomas Bailey is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at thegauntletrunner1754@yahoo.com. More information is available at his website. ‘The Gauntlet Runner' is available at most online retailers, local bookstores and at the website.
