(Tawas City, Michigan) 10/21/2011 –  Science Fiction fans have been readers of Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells, Frank Herbert and Ray Bradbury even up to the current JR Tolkien and Douglas Adams. B.A. Shields returns to the scene with the second book in his Pandemic Dawn Series.

 

Pandemic Dawn Book One took readers on a suspenseful journey of conflict with romance and loyalty. Readers could not put this page-turner down and were eagerly awaiting the second book in this science fiction series. Wait no more; Rise of the State is being released late October, 2011.

 

Rise of The State jumps right in with Taylor continuing to look for his son with the help of Tia, his female companion whom he rescued from the slave trade. After finding a safe-haven for the children who were salves with Tia, they continue their journey to locate Taylor’s son.

 

The only form of government left since the cleansing is at war within its ranks as one general decides to take control of the entire force, activating combat-bots to secure the control of the entire world, while another fights to maintain the traditional roles of the military force as an aid to a government which no longer exists.

 

Rise of the State will keep readers on the edge of their seat. Will Taylor find his son? Will Dr. Torrey find a cure for the virus, which continues to kill millions? Give in to the temptation to get Rise of the State. Grab this novel and prepare to be taken on a journey into the science fiction world that will keep you asking for more. Rise of the State can be purchased from www.riseofthestate.com, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and is also available for Kindle or Nook.

Taylor continues to look for his son with the help of Tia, his female companion whom he rescued from the slave trade.  After finding a safe-haven for the children, they continue their journey to locate Taylor’s son.

The only form of government left since the cleansing is at war within its ranks as one general decides to take control of the entire force, activating combat-bots to secure the control of the entire world, while another fights to maintain the traditional roles of the military force as an aid to a government which no longer exists.

The suburbs, now ruled by Lord Samuel, begin to decay further as he ushers in a new age of warlords, gangs and slavery.  The virus ridden world continues to mutate into a world like no other before, with creatures cursed by an ever spreading virus.

Mostly because I worked my tail off for three months straight trying to get the new house ready for the family to move in. I have the house 90% complete. There are still things which need to be done before winter, and i am slowly getting them finished, but I have not been feeling well for the past month. After a few visits to the doctor, it would appear that I have IBS, more than likely brought on by the stress of moving and completing the house in a timely manner.

It is doing much better now, and I felt great yesterday, so I have plans on getting back to work.

During this down time, I have been looking at my various projects, and realized once again that I need to get them all in one place, which will make them easier to sell. As it is, I have things all over the internet. I have my books, 3DS Objects, schematics, SecondLife Items, eBay items, props and cosplay costumes, as well as other various things. So I am currently working on a website that will display everything I create for sale in one place.

I have obtained another web address, and will build the site there, placing a link on this site to make it easy to find.

It should only take me a few days to build the site.

I will keep everyone posted as it develops.
