Happy Hello Dear Readers,

Ah, it is so inspiring here by the ocean in North Myrtle Beach, SC. When I look out from our living room, it looks like we are IN the ocean or we are on a boat or the like. Very beautiful. But perhaps one of the most spectacular scenes is watching the pinkish - orange sunrise. The surrounding clouds seem to be on fire.

My biggest announcement: My new book, just published this month, Women in Combat with ABC - CLIO/Greenwood, is now available for purchase. I am happy to say that it is available in ebook format as well in print in hardcover. For more complete information, follow this link: http://abc - clio.com/product.aspx?id=2147489451

Please pass this information on to your local library and request they purchase a copy for their library.

I am progressing nicely my 13th book, Suicide Warfare with Praeger Security International. It's a book that I have long awaited to write. It isn't about women except the role they play, but the interrelationships of the individual, the military, and society. It is due 2012.

Cheers! R
