After working in the engineering world for 30 years and living in 13 states and countless cities across the USA, I decided to take my ability to independently analyze the events we face today and push them into the future. The Mill Series is my first endeavor into chronicle style novels. The project; craft three books that are joined together by plot, yet driven by a different first person in each title.

My first book is out on Kindle, thanks to those that provided encouragement along this fun adventure!!!

“As we watched, the regulations imposed by our government, churches, and press; combined to establish our country’s new internal warfare. Fought on the podiums, pulpits, and pages by each in turn to empower themselves, again, while in the corner those that should not have stayed silent, did.”

J.W. Scott Following the Book launch I received positive comments on the story but questionable comments on the editing. Making a very hard decision, I pulled the book down from Amazon and sent it to a third editor.
So Through the Mill A Time for Snow is now back from the third editor. Amazon is now reviewing the edits and will make them available to the readers in approximately four weeks. If they decide it is not drastic changes they will allow those that downloaded the book already to get the updates. If the changes are drastic, Amazon will send an email to those that an update is available. Seems that making the update available now and if its drastic, they could send the email later.

J.W. Scott This Book Launch has been more stressful than I could have imagined watching a free book get downloaded from Amazon. I have to say, props to people that do this for a living. When I saw my first 1 star review get posted an hour after any downloads. I realized it was time to put on my big boy pants.

While I knew a political topic was not for the feint of heart, I honestly (and ignorantly) thought the book would be read before blasting it... Suck it up, write an update and move on :o)

J.W. Scott Currently reading Objectivism The Philosophy of Ayn Rand... So far dry read but shows a clear view of the philosophy she began. While I am a fan I don't know if I will be able focus on this long enough to finish.
