The new Preparedness Fair starts tomorrow! (all going well). Hopefully I've given you enough notice to choose (or even write) a post about preparedness for the new Preparedness Fair.
CAN YOU HELP SPREAD THE WORD?
It would be so wonderful if you could all think of someone who might have a preparedness blog or who might be interested in writing a post that they could share here. Do you belong to a Facebook group about homesteading and survivalism? An internet community or forum on preparedness? Would you be willing to share about this so that we can get this buzzing a bit? Please grab the code for the button that's now on the bottom of the left sidebar, and paste it into the html of your blog posts or forum posts, or copy and save the picture below onto your computer to then add into a Facebook post with a link. Or just write something and add a link? It will make the first Fair so much more interesting if there are more than a couple of participants. Thank you!
If you're new here today, or if you want something to copy for helping spread the word, here's the "blurb."
COMING SOON
Have you written anything about preparedness? The Preparedness Fair is coming February 16, and would love to have your post included on it! The focus will be on disaster preparedness, and sharing our experiences and insights that might benefit others.

But as Cal hides from a Waffen-SS death squad, he stumbles into a family of German refugees fleeing Soviet shock troops. Soon, he finds himself in an uncertain role as the family's protector.

The fledgling government has little respect for these rugged frontiersmen. The bureaucrats think this remote province across the mountains is good for only one thing - collecting taxes - that these poor, unfortunate frontier families are not able to pay. More fear and anguish results from the brutal actions of the Federal government who send troops and drag the suspected "insurrectionists" out of their beds in the dead of winter. …”

But when a friend desperately pleads with Clarenceux to hide a manuscript for him, he is drawn into a web of treachery and conspiracy he may never untangle. Is there no refuge if your faith is your enemy? Bestselling author Dr. Ian Mortimer, writing as James Forrester, has crafted a chilling, brilliant story that re-imagines how the explosive mix of faith and fear can tear a country apart. Sacred Treason tells a thrilling story of murder, betrayal, and loyalty—and the power of the written word.“
ANTROPEON
”In the year 2175 there are no countries or governments. Instead, the giant conglomerates, Neworld and Antropeon, control everything and everyone.

Life in this utopian world changes suddenly for Trask Hawkins when he stumbles on a sinister plot and is hunted down by enforcers from both companies. On the run, each day becomes a challenge as he tries to stay alive long enough to discover and expose the truth. His only help comes from a few friends who risk everything to help him. “

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
Pneumadiluvians Chapter 1
”In Chapter 1 of this serial novel, Liam and Hailey have spent two months trapped in the upper stories of their apartment building while countless around them - in stores, in classes, outside, and in their own building - inexplicably suffocate. The world outside is silent, and calm, and dead. Inside the apartment tower, the living feebly cling to an existence that is slipping through their fingers faster and faster as food runs low. When death is lurking just one floor below Liam, he finds deliverance in a textbook.”
Pneumadiluvians Chapter 2
”In Chapter 2 of this serial novel, Liam expands upon his escape plan to leave the upper stories where thirty-four survivors have been trapped the past two months. But not every survivor is ready to leave or let him leave. Liam and Hailey are forced to leave the tower before they're ready. Before they can warn the others of the attack from one of their own.”
Pneumadiluvians Chapter 4
”In Chapter 4 of this serial novel, Liam and Hailey struggle for direction and stability as they float perilously over campus. Meanwhile, Ben’s found that his anger wasn’t sated with the blood already on his hands.”
Pneumadiluvians Chapter 5
”In Chapter 5 of this serial novel, Liam and Hailey separate hoping that Beardshear’s payoff will be worth the risk. In the tower, the survivors scrounge for any remaining food but are forced to face the reality that they only have a matter of days and no means of leaving.”
Pneumadiluvians Chapter 6
”In this super-sized conclusion to the first arc of this serial novel, the apartments aren't the havens they once were as the survivors are invaded from all sides. Each night is another threat. Yet they are left without anywhere to run.”
American Kaiser
”It is hard to imagine the near future and what it will bring to our wonderful world. Not all that long ago no one---correction, almost no one---would have suggested that we humans could have managed to soil our nest to the extent that we have; and today few can comprehend that but two or three generations hence, from the time you are sitting somewhere comfortable, perhaps in a coffee shop, maybe tucked into your warm bed reading these lines, the place we inhabit will have become an environment so hostile as to barely sustain life as we know it. This is a story about that, or maybe not.”
Never Too Far
”A harrowing story of love and survival. In a future of scarce resources, where the possession of gas and diesel is punishable by death, a teenage boy and a pregnant girl must save their impoverished family. They risk their lives on a terrifying journey to sell stolen fuel on the black market.”
Harbingers

Seven Fires Promise of the Dawn (Seven Fires Chronicles)
”Based upon a prophesy five hundred years old Native American people survive the long anticipated onslaught within purposefully prepared shelters. Emerging mostly unscathed they return to the ways of tradition to live off the land in cohabitating villages utilizing in harmony the resources of their environment. Elements of culture are intricately demonstrated as an advantage of sociological balance. Genuine historic events are woven into the tale augmented with drama. Cultural philosophies and perspective are represented in a dramatic interactive between man and technology, himself and nature. …”

Rome Burned In A Few Hours
”The year is 2025, following the Middle Eastern War which transformed the world stage. The United States has edged toward totalitarianism and has just finished the first single-party election in its history. On the day of the inauguration an event takes place that shakes the core of the country and reshapes the balance of power within. Following the actions of members of both sides, "Rome Burned In A Few Hours" is the story of what happens when an empire pushes too far and the actions that must be taken by both sides to protect or destroy. Whether it be the elusive and secret Exuro Intus Hora, or the President of the United States, or various other players that shape the outcome, in the end does it really matter who is right when the cost is so high?”
Pneumadiluvians Chapter 1
