ISIS Lands in Second Place?
Seems like certain Americans are shooting for their piece of the Evil Infamous Pie.

Civilized Society?
Trump stated North Korea is a threat to all civilized societies. I wonder if a civilized society arms its citizens to kill, kill and kill again in the name of profit.

Many Thanks
I must first thank my wife for her input with my manuscript. She is a teacher with an English emphasis. Secondly, a big thanks goes out to RLW Editorial Services and their tireless effort on my behalf. Finally, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to the judges of the Inks and Insights Writing Competition: Kimberly Egan, Kevin Sparrow, Alex and Brittany Eckhardt. They deemed The Passionate Jihadist good enough to be one of the top three stories in the competition.

The Passionate Jihadist
Sayfullo Saipov could have benefited - perhaps - from reading about Yushua in The Passionate Jihadist.

Unique Life Experiences
I draw on my experiences when writing my stories. When I wrote Brand of Justice I hung out in Great Falls, Montana and made attempts at understanding what is truly means to be put on trial for the murder of a toddler. I drew heavily on experiences I had while working as a cop to put together the different personalities in JusThis. My current manuscript, The Passionate Jihadist, involved a lot of research as previously mentioned.

how did you write about muslims if you not one?
I discuss issues with players and research-research-research. I sat down with members of the Muslim Community in Boulder Colorado and tactfully listened for knowledge. I interviewed soldiers fresh from an assignment involving a Forward Observation Post in Afghanistan. Interesting note, everyone who talked to me were concerned about being outed and we had to build trust before our discussions became very in-lighting.

How does it Feel to Pull the Trigger?
I enjoy visiting paradigms and individual attitudes to settle on the truth in an unbiased manner.

Real Scorn
3 Men, 1 Plan, to attack New York City in the name of The Islamic State. Consider the content, kinda eerie. Does this harken back to Vegas?
"The planned attacks included detonating bombs in Times Square and the New York City subway system and shooting civilians at specific concert venues," a Department of Justice statement said.

Proud To Be An American?
1,518 mass shootings since Sandy Hook. Something just ain't right here in the land of the free. Now I see ISIS is attempting to claim responsibility for the actions of Mr Stephen Paddock. The Human Animal is scary.
