I took the strategies and tactics we used in Special Forces and put them into a Cycle of Success anyone can use.

The Green Beret Guide For Success is free today through the 24th.

Also free the same time period is Equinox: Time Patrol. If you haven’t read any of the Time Patrol books, check this one out. In the Time Patrol books I mostly use real historical events; I just twist them a bit with a malignant force trying to change our history. Because if enough of our history is changed, our timeline is wiped out. Here are the events, essentially short stories that support each other, in Equinox:

1862. Abraham Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation. But there are some who want to twist this momentous event into something entirely different.
1692. Eight people are hung for being witches in Salem. But a young girl makes a very bold offer to prevent it, not knowing the potential consequences could change history.
1823. Joseph Smith claims to have found gold plates which would form the basis of a new religion. He did find something; which he was never supposed to see and they must be returned to their rightful owner.
1776. Nathan Hale has but one life to give for his country, but there is a plan to use that life to force George Washington to make a strategic error that will destroy his army.
1948. The Berlin Airlift is keeping the western part of the city alive. But if the slightest thing goes wrong, the Cold War might become very hot.
1947. At Area 51 the first Rift opens. A rip into another dimension and Fireflies come through. In history, it was sealed at great cost. But what if the Rift expands?

I’m also slowly updating my Gear page and my slideshows on survival. Newly redone:
