Weekend Homesteader: February
“Escape the winter doldrums by expanding your homestead. Easy garden additions like strawberries and raspberries can provide delicious fruit for your family in a year or less. Add homegrown eggs from your new chicken flock and you'll have a feast. Meanwhile, buying non-perishables in bulk will save money while ensuring you have plenty of food during emergencies. Finally, an informal apprenticeship is the perfect way to learn hands-on skills like milking a cow or fermenting grapes into wine. For those of you who are new to Weekend Homesteader, this series walks you through the basics of growing your own food, cooking the bounty, preparing for emergency power outages, and achieving financial independence. Technically, the series began in May (or November in the southern hemisphere), but most of the projects are designed to be accessible even to someone starting from square one each month. This ebook, and each other volume in the series, presents one easy and fun project for each weekend so that you'll keep making headway without becoming overwhelmed.”

As autumn turns to winter, Earth's climate gets even colder: the North Sea freezes over, the Gulf Stream congeals and the monsoons cease. Under the shade of a global ash shroud crop failure becomes widespread and famine knocks on the door. Human society suffers from a shivering fit, aggravating old inflamed wounds and diseases. Man's basic needs become naked; riots, civil wars and violence are plaguing mankind and further decimating the number of inhabitants. The world as we know it today will soon cease to exist and mankind use all methods available for his survival. “

Conglomerate 21
“The year is 2097. Seventy years have slipped away since the Great Collapse of the United States of America and since the desperate conglomerates—remnants of corporate America—fled with their employees into colossal survival bases behind electrified fences and a brutal corporate police force. They left the rest of society to find its way through the ensuing chaos, starvation, and violence. But seventy years of corporate government have now turned the survival bases into a network of dystopian, totalitarian regimes. Meanwhile, outside the conglomerate fences, a revolutionary form of capitalism that sprouted after the Collapse has turned rural America into a virtual utopia. Unfortunately, the people in the conglomerates don’t know this. The internal propaganda apparatus keeps them in the dark. Into this byzantine setting step Richard Jordan, an up-and-coming conglomerate executive, and Emma Callister, a dairyman’s daughter from the forbidden farm zone, whose chance meeting sets in motion a chain of events that culminates in the attempted overthrow of not just their own conglomerate 21 but the whole conglomerate system.”

Together Forever
“WHAT WILL BECOME OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SHOULD A NUCLEAR WAR BE INEVITABLE? With the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 being the epitome of the intended imposition of social values, an antiquated lifestyle and narrow-minded religiosity, it appears to be only a matter of time before these destructive behaviors are manifested into an all-out nuclear war. And should there be a war to end all wars, what will become of people who have physical disabilities in the event that evacuation away from urban areas becomes necessary? Given many of the irrational attitudes about the limited capabilities of this population, will such individuals be wanted in a world that must be defended and rebuilt? In ‘Together Forever: The Trinity on Ararat’ the previously misguided assumptions of most non-disabled Americans evolve into a hatred for individuals who are not seen as being “perfect”. . .”
