Rebelfire!


Once upon a time, boys and girls, there was a book. You should read this book. You should have your kids read this book. You should mention me generously in your will for telling you about this book, or just send me money now.

Well, there was hope of a series (hence Rebelfire 1.0) but sales didn't happen so much and so the series didn't happen at all and so we're poorer than we might have been. But I was reminded of it this morning when I came upon a video made by an on-line acquaintance, to the tune of the song that accompanies the book. It's pretty good, too.

Heh, seems all the book reviews were furnished by past and present members of TMM...

Yeah, it's a damned shame too. JPFO went to the trouble of financing the writing and publication, and then did nothing substantial about marketing. I sometimes think of R1.0 as the best freedomista youth book nobody ever heard of.

correction: all the reviews were by members of TCF, the predecessor of TMM.

JPFO has its strengths, but marketing is not one of them. It's too bad; it was a good story, and remains very timely.
