Overreach: Blood of Patriots Overreach: Blood of Patriots By JD LudwigBy JD Ludwig

For those of you who have haven't had the chance to read Overreach: Blood of Patriots yet we have broken Volume One down into three books. The first book, Overreach - Waking the sleeping Giant is now available for 99 Cents on Amazon.

This way, you can see if you like my writing and the story and if so, we'll have the other sections available for the same price as the full Kindle version.

It's hard now a days to read or watch the news without becoming discouraged or angry. It seems at times like our government is out to wreck our country.

For several years we've been hearing about how the president and his surrogates have been operating under a plan designed by Saul Alinsky - a well known community activist from Chicago who died in 1972. I decided to read up a little on Mr. Alinsky and confess that a lot of what seems to be happening seems right out of his play book.

Life's been busy and I've been working on the next book in the Overreach series. I lost two people who were very dear to me this summer and it was like a kick in the gut.

On an awesomely happy note, Sally and I welcomed our first two grand children to the world during the same time.

Carly was born in May and Luke was born in June... Both Mom's, Jackie Michelle and Jenny are doing well and the babies are "Of Course the most beautiful babies"...

Research for Blood of Tyrants has been troubling... things are getting even scarier than they were last summer, but once I sat down and started to write, things have progressed well.

It's taking longer to write book two because I'm trying to make sure it's better than the first one. (At least that's my goal)

In Overreach: Blood of Patriots we explore the question, what if America experienced something similar to what we are seeing in Venezuela today. If you haven't been following this low grade civil war, it's worth reading...

Some readers shared with me that Overreach: Blood of Patriots is really scary because it's so plausible...

One of my readers, Bill, an Air Force Veteran, shared a portion of Title 10 US Code that allows the president to use executive authority to suppress an insurrection, armed or otherwise.

It allows the president with the stroke of a pen to raise forces from any state or direct our own military to suppress an insurrection in another state.

In Overreach: Blood of Patriots, we include a scene where the NSA has used its insidious spying program to blackmail legislators to vote they way the administration wants and blackmails members of the media to only report what the administration tells them they can report. Overreach is fiction... that kind of thing couldn't really happen or could it?
