Emergency! Everybody to Get from Street!

"Mysterious Drones Spotted in 4 Colorado Counties"

What is it about drones that peaks our interest? The above news story, current as of this morning on FOX 31 in Denver, reports the presence of drone aircraft over...us! Who are they spying on?!


A More Perfect Union
One might conjure up all sorts of theories, at least until the mystery is solved with some bland pronouncement by "officials" that the missions were to map erosion, check electric wires or for training new operators. Boooorrring.

Solved...ha! What if...

That is the stock and trade of a fiction writer. Drones, guns, martial law. Here is a recent review of my novel A More Perfect Union (click on link to purchase):

 "The author presents a very interesting premise about the instantiation of martial law in a portion of the country, and the questions that arise in the individuals tasked to enforce that. The main characters were complex and struggled with the doubts pertaining to their role. But along with that introspection, there was plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seat. Bonus points for the author's familiarity with firearms and tactics. Well worth the read, and very much comparable to anything published mainstream that I've read in the past couple of years. Definitely deserves a wide audience."

I didn't intend Cici and Kevin to answer the big questions. I meant them to struggle with the down-to-Earth problems faced by human beings placed in difficult situations. All of us who have served in law enforcement have asked ourselves, from time to time, if we are doing the right thing.

Did they?
