Signalman Publishing Announces Release of “Blinding White Flash” Frightening New Novel of a Chinese Invasion of North America

Posted on January 14, 2012 by admin

Orlando, FL / January 16, 2012 – Signalman Publishing is proud to announce the release in paperback and as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook and the Apple iBookstore, of Blinding White Flash by J. Richard Wakefield of Komoka, Ontario.

The winter of 2016, called Black Winter, triggers the beginning of the end of modern civilization due to natural gas depletion. Millions freeze to death, millions more lose their jobs. Coupled with an oil embargo in the Middle East, and North America is in economic collapse. Riots abound.

China, hungry for oil and raw materials, uses the chaos in the United States to invade Canada to get at the forests, farmlands and above all the Canadian tar sands for the oil. This sparks a world war.

A father and son team, from a small town in southwestern Ontario, join in the fight to repel the invaders. During their year-long journey through the Rockies and into the north lands of Alberta, they discover first-hand the impact and effects of peak oil on the people they meet along the way.

The big dilemma for the defenders is how to stop the invaders from coming through the Rockies. This problem is exacerbated by the limited fuels available for military machinery. High tech military might is useless without the oil that runs it. This means more feet on the ground than technological superiority. Volunteers are needed on a massive scale to help the defenses, but one of the characters just does not believe in playing by the rules and wants to act on his own.

John McClure, president of Signalman Publishing, added, “Blinding White Flash is a fascinating account of what could happen in a future world-wide war over resources. Its relevancy to the events of today will having you thinking…”

Blinding White Flash (ISBN: 978-1-935991-35-9, $16.99, Fiction) from indie book publisher Signalman, is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com, and wherever fine books are sold

Negations
Conditionals
Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive
Biconditionals
Tautologies

He often visited with Nalla, a princess, hoping to find an indication of this, for he knows there to be more to the dragon… Then, during one visit, the dragon speaks to Thareous and Nalla, warning them of an evil horde marching for Galgon. Soon events turn against them, and the dragon, known as Ianvorr, is forced to take them into the forgotten realms of the kingdom, Keiratha. There the exiled order known as the Omnipotent Ones has hidden, but now stir in this time of need. Upon meeting them, Thareous discovers he is the target of a millennia-old prophecy: that he must defeat the gravest threat known to all.

Signalman Publishing Announces Release of “Modern Sacrifices”

Posted on November 9, 2011 by admin

Orlando, FL / November 10, 2011 – Signalman Publishing is proud to announce the paperback release and ebook distribution through Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble nook of “Modern Sacrifices” by Jan Osborne.

The author states, “For many of us, it is hard to relate to Jesus’ life or other stories in the Bible because we live in a different world than they did. This book is a narrative description of Jesus’ life, set in a modern day setting, in attempt to relate to our savior’s life and the huge sacrifice he made for us. This book is not meant to rewrite the Bible, but to retell the biggest event in the history of mankind in order to help people understand the magnitude of it.”

The book begins with the modern day story of Mary and Joseph, who are high school students living their lives in honor of God. However, they are ridiculed for their church-going reputations, while their peers are partying and promoting promiscuous behavior. After two years at a community college, Mary and Joseph embark on a mission trip around the world, rebuilding houses torn down by destruction of war. While there, Mary finds herself sick, and is scared that she might have a disease that is plaguing the area. She has numerous doctors tell her the same thing: she is pregnant.

Confused but willing, Mary and Joseph nourish the baby inside of Mary for the next nine months. They post their news on their social networking website accounts, only to be harshly criticized by all. Their families stop talking to them, and they have no support other than themselves and God. One night, bombs and explosives plague the area where Mary and Joseph are staying. That same night, Mary goes into labor. Because of the hundreds of injured people, the hospitals are packed, inside and out. Mary and Joseph desperately seek medical attention, but find none, and are forced to bring their baby into the world at the closest place to them—a neighbor farmer’s barn. After hours of labor, the child is born, and Mary and Joseph vow to raise him as God has planned.

The book goes on to tell the life of Jesus in a very unique and compelling way that will fascinate and inform readers while at the same time bring readers to a better understanding of the life of Jesus and the sacrifice that he made for all.

Modern Sacrifices (ISBN: 978-1-935991-28-1, $13.99, Non-fiction) from indie book publisher Signalman, is distributed through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com, and can be purchased wherever fine books are sold.

Signalman Publishing Announces Release of “Reconciliation: A Son’s Story”

Posted on November 1, 2011 by admin

Orlando, FL / November 4, 2011 – Signalman Publishing is proud to announce the paperback release and ebook distribution through Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble nook and Apple iBookstore, of “Reconciliation: A Son’s Story” by Steve Sparks.

In this new ground breaking memoir, the author reflects back on his father’s World War II experiences, including his father having survived Pearl Harbor, as the context underlying his own family dynamics and abuse. Through the author’s research and study of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), he comes to an understanding of his father’s behavior and how this deeply impacted the family.

John McClure, president of Signalman Publishing, stated, “Every once in a while as a publisher, I come across that rare manuscript that I just think everyone should read. Steve Sparks’ book is one of those. This is an American story about an American father who went to war and came back changed by what he saw and by what he experienced. How this impacted his family was profound, yet unrecognized for what it was back then. Today we know much more about the effects of PTSD on the individual, but what about the family members closest to that person? Steve Sparks explores this in a compelling way that helps all of us to not only better understand this topic, but also appreciate the sacrifices that our war veterans and their families have made for our nation.”

A very timely book, this may help the thousands of families of veterans of our own current generation returning from their war experiences to better understand the effects of PTSD on the entire family.

“Reconciliation: A Son’s Story” (ISBN: 978-1-935991-30-4, $13.99, Non-fiction) from indie book publisher Signalman, is distributed through Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com, and the Apple iBookstore, and can be purchased wherever fine books are sold.

Signalman Publishing Announces Release of Common Sense Solutions to Real Problems

Posted on September 22, 2011 by admin

Orlando, Florida/September 22, 2011 — Signalman Publishing is proud to announce the release in paperback and as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook and the Apple iBookstore, of “Common Sense Solutions to Real Problems” by mathematician and educator Richard Forringer of Durham NC. Based upon the author’s rational and logical problem solving approach that he has learned and taught for forty years, in this book he applies a set of principles against four issues that are vexing the nation today that could lead to a significant advance in the public policy discourse:
1) Education: how can we provide an environment for our kids that is conducive to actually learning?
2) How do we solve our energy problems?
3) What is the “war” on drugs really doing? Has it ever worked, and can we do something better?
4) The recent federal budget and debt ceiling crisis are merely the rumblings of far worse to come.
There are no easy or simple solutions to these major national issues, however, the author brings a fresh, common sense approach that, if implemented, could go a long way to addressing these important challenges.

“Common Sense Solutions to Real Problems” is an important book for those who are tired of the same old solutions to the same problems and are looking for new ideas. This should be required reading not just for everyone involved in making public policy, but for every American who is concerned about our nation and where we are headed.

“Common Sense Solutions to Real Problems” (ISBN: 978-1-935991-16-8, $12.99, Non-fiction/Public Policy) from indie book publisher Signalman, is distributed through Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com, and the Apple iBookstore.

Signalman Publishing Announces Release of “Master Switch” for the Kindle, Nook, and iPad

Posted on June 8, 2011 by admin

Orlando, FL / June 8, 2011 – Set against the first missile-against-missile war in history is a tale of espionage and international intrigue that targets the development of the U.S. PATRIOT missile, the infiltration of which would have devastating consequences to the national security of the United States, Israel, and the outcome of the Gulf War. Master Switch, originally released in 1996, has now been re-released by Signalman Publishing as a Kindle edition, nook edition, as well as an iBook available for the iPad through the Apple iBookstore.

This program, however, is different. There is something wrong here when a test firing fails—and it goes beyond a simple technical failure. A series of investigations are then set in motion and Jeff  Weyland begins a journey that no one could expect.

Master Switch is a fast-paced techno-thriller that weaves in the flawed human motivations and weaknesses that could bring down a war effort.

Signalman Publishing Announces Release of “Searching for America”

Posted on May 25, 2011 by admin

Orlando, FL / May 25, 2011 – Can you imagine living in a United States without a Constitution? The rule of law? Peace, stability and opportunity for all? This is the unsettling and even terrifying world in which we find ourselves in R. Thomas Roe’s third novel, Searching for America. In a frightening look at our possible future, Roe explores what could happen by extending out the current trends of runaway government debt and disregard for the U.S. Constitution.

In Searching for America, we follow civil servant Stuart Martin as he is ripped away from a comfortable society he thought he knew and understood to a land where thugs are the hunters and the every-day citizen becomes the prey. Chaos reigns, forcing small communities to either band together and take matters into their own hands or perish forever. Law and order needs to be established. Actions need be taken to stop the madness and Stuart is the new man for the job in his community. Together with a group of like-minded neighbors, Stuart organizes defense teams, sets up supply and logistics capabilities and even a legal system that serves as the only government possible in a country that has collapsed from its own weight of debt and economic mismanagement.

Searching for America perfectly illustrates the consequences that could result for the United States where everyone seems out to “get theirs” and forget about anyone else. National debt? That is someone else’s problem. In Searching for America, Roe brings to life with an unimaginable horror what could happen if current trends continue.

Searching for America (ISBN: 978-1-935991-07-6, Trade Paper, 472 pages, $17.99, Fiction/Action & Adventure) from indie book publisher Signalman, is distributed through Ingram and available wherever fine books are sold.
