And We're Off!!!

I have never created a blog for a book that I am working on before.  However, I have seen several authors blog their book so I figured I would give it a shot.  I am trying to get some followers that will comment on the tid-bits of information about the book that I post on here.  Feed back is always helpful (even the negative feedback).
   The background image on this blog is a picture of the Washington Monument and surrounding area in flames.  The picture is from a video game called, Modern Warfare 2 and I found it while looking for pictures like it just for this blog.  This picture portrays the tone and some vivid imagery from my book perfectly so I decided to use it.  If anyone finds any other pictures similar to this one, please let me know, for I can use them for future posts.
   The Cure for War is set in the near future in Washington D.C.  For now, I am classifying the book as a dramatic sci-fi thriller, however that classification could change as I write.  For those who have been to D.C. you can appreciate the imagery that will be displayed throughout the book and on this blog as rather frightening.  I feel that this book will hit home with a lot of people, for Americans, save for soldiers who have been to war, don't really know what war is like.  War isn't pretty.  War isn't fair.  War has no sympathy for the innocent bystander pushing their baby across the street in a nice, fancy stroller.  When it happens, it happens and anything or anyone standing in the way will be dealt with accordingly.
   The war in this book, however is not brought on by another country; it is a civil war, brought on by ourselves and our lust for power and our governement's tinkering around with playing God.
   I hope you find this intriguing enough to subscribe to the blog so you can keep up with the book as I write it and provide some good feedback...  Cheers!
