Update: Conservative Writer Roy M Griffis Gets His Thriller "The Big Bang" Published On Amazon

Conservative writer Roy M. Griffis' got another of his books published, and it's going to be available today on Amazon. "The Big Bang" is the first book in Lonesome George Chronicles.

"An alternative history of today’s America shattered by enemies foreign and domestic, this novel packed with action and character was praised by NYT best-selling author Ben Shapiro as "Clever, witty, tense, and a thoroughly enjoyable read!" Rich Lowry at the National Review raved “A wild romp through a post-apocalyptic America unimaginably awful but also highly contemporary. Buckle your seat belts--and prepare to resist!” Published by Liberty Island Media, the home of the new conservative counter-culture, The Big Bang might just blow you away."

It's available on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle, and Audible, Inc, is planning on releasing an audiobook version later this Spring.

Amazon's description:

In this page-turning post-apocalyptic thriller, Roy M. Griffis explores an alternate timeline in which America falls victim to a coordinated attack by Islamic jihadists and Chinese Communists. It's 2008 and George W. Bush is still president. Three years later, the man called "Lonesome George" is in hiding, leading the resistance from a secret location. Multiple plot lines skillfully braid the tales of resistance fighters in various parts of the country. Whistler is the hard-bitten commander of a military unit in Texas. Karen, a former congressional aide, stumbles through the radioactive rubble of Washington DC. Griffis also entertainingly works in real-life liberal celebrities and pundits whose eyes are finally opened to threats they once discounted as obsessions of the right. "Molly," a left-wing columnist in San Francisco, finally puts her talents to good use on the underground radio as the voice of the resistance. "Alec," a famous actor and liberal gadfly, loses his wife and daughter in the nuclear attack on Los Angeles and becomes a legendary fighter, inventing the gun that bears his name. A vivid imagining of an America gone horribly wrong, written in gripping detail.

It's only $12.59 for paperback and $7.19 for Kindle. A bargain for a good historical thriller, and more importantly- supporting one of our own.

You can purchase his book here.

I introduced you to Griff back in 2011 after he had published his novel "By The Hands Of Men- Book One The Old World" on Amazon.

Maybe some conservative film producers will option the book.

Liberty Island Magazine- Looking For Conservative and Libertarian Writers

For all you conservative, libertarian writers out there, there's a new kid on the block.  Liberty Island has just launched its website and is looking for collaborators of the right-ilk. Their mission statement tells it best.

Once upon a time the mainstream culture was conservative and the so-called counterculture was left wing. Today the situation is reversed and a new counterculture has arisen, one that boldly challenges the cynicism, nihilism, and stifling political correctness of popular culture today.

Our mission is to support this raw and untamed counterculture by gathering its creators in one place and providing the tools and resources they need to succeed. Here they can present their latest works, interact with colleagues, and connect with a likeminded audience. At Liberty Island, readers of a conservative or libertarian bent can find fiction, music, video and graphics that reflect their social values and political beliefs -- and readers of all persuasions can find new voices and undiscovered talent. Writers and creators you've never heard of, and won't find anywhere else, because their views have been excluded from the mainstream popular culture.

Think of Liberty Island as a rallying point for a revolt against conformity and groupthink. We aim to be the missing link in a cultural feeder system that has systematically marginalized those who did not go to the right schools, attend the proper writing programs, or toe the correct ideological line. At Liberty Island, good still triumphs over evil, hope still overcomes despair, and America is still a noble experiment and a beacon to the rest of the world.

What is Liberty Island? An imaginative colony. A playground for the mind. A place where your right brain is allowed to run free. Join us! Like Plymouth, Jamestown, or Ellis Island in its heyday, Liberty Island is open for business.

A press release further explains why the need for a non-mainstream publishing site.

Adam Bernstein and David Bellow are the founders, and all writers are welcome.

One writer who has found a home there is Roy "Griff" Griffis. He found me through my blog many moons ago, and has kept in touch. Here is his latest short story posted on Liberty Magazine.

Remember, support conservative artists.

Support A Republican Singer and A Novelist

It takes a lot of courage for people in the arts (be they actors, writers, musicians, singers or artists) to speak openly about their non-liberal politics, since it can often adversely affect their livelihood. So when someone does, we should do what we can to support them.  And, since the holidays are the time for giving (be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa), I thought I would share with you a few opportunities to support two of those brave souls, especially since I know them.

Jeff Gurner, of the comedy singing duo Joberg & Gurner, also happens to be a great actor that I have worked with. Their lyrics are irreverent and often racy, but very funny. Comedy Central just released their album "MANHOOD", of which the following 'family friendly' video is one of the tracks included.  You can download the CD from i-Tunes and CDBaby. 




Roy M Griffis is a long-time reader who just shared with me that he finally published his novel, which is now available in paperback and on Amazon Kindle.  I haven't read the book yet, but the synopsis sounds wonderful.

A single spontaneous act of charity on the battlefields of France during WWI will change the life of English Lieutenant Robert Fitzgerald forever. Scourged by the war's brutality, his faith in God and man nearly gone, Fitzgerald follows a soldier out into no-man's land on a mission of charity to euthanize two maimed donkeys. Under fire by the enemy, shamed by the suffering of the only innocent creatures on the field, Fitzgerald unsuccessfully risks his life to aid the poor animals, becoming wounded in the process.


A young nurse, Charlotte Braninov, encounters Robert, first at a front line Casualty Aid station, where he helps her save a dying man, and then at the main hospital, where he is ignobly consigned to Supply Officer, blackballed by the Army for his "lunacy" over the stricken animals. At the hospital, the Russian nurse and English officer slowly find in one another peace from the suffering they have seen, healing, and a meaning to their lives; each act of service or sacrifice building a foundation of love as they have never known, a love they believe strong enough to withstand the hammer-blows of evil and fate.

So, there you have it. Two Republican in the arts you can support, and get something in return.

And as Joberg & Gurner would say:  Happy Chrismanukkah to one and all!
