Last week I was privileged to get to do an online reader Q&A with the fabulous Book Club with Booze. (They are a splinter of the Facebook group Drinkin’ Bros: Nerds – itself a splinter of Drinkin’ Bros, which was cofounded by former Ranger, entrepreneur, and hilarious YouTube star Mat Best and some of his veteran buddies. By all means check out Mat’s priceless SF vs. MARSOC epic rap battle.)
At any rate, if you’d like to get a deep dive into the background and themes of the ARISEN series, my personal pick of weapons for the ZA, the special operations community, literary theory, the writing life, and deep storycraft – all enhanced by HEAVY DRINKING – with a bunch of great and super-smart people (many of them active-duty military), you can now do it right here! Any time! Yee-hah.
They even did this very amusing and flattering promo image.
