Title: Tales of Havoc (Novel) Coming Soon
Post by: CW2 Zier on April 11, 2019, 04:04:57 PM: Coming Soon

The focus of the book, character-wise, is a unit based heavily upon the 506th IRRU, including Dagger, Thunder, D/Co, and all the Havoc elements. I plan to give each squad and detachment a cameo using the names of each actively billeted member and any Active Reserve members who wish to be part of the book to fill in any empty billets. If you do not want to have your name used in the book PLEASE PM ME SO I CAN ADJUST MY LISTS.

If Amazon can do it for free or for a decent price I’ll try.

I'm willing to record it for an audio book... I could even add music and explosions :)) But, seriously, I'd love to give it a shot.

I am sure there would be more than one person in the community who would be willing to try out reading this as an audio book.

I would be willing to give it a shot as well.

We so need to carry tomahawks!! My player in Lt. Santos' fun-op has a tomahawk on his pack. Too bad I can't throw it.

My guy should be suppressing enemy armour with a buckshot and always on the lookout for goats with benefits (like milk).
