World War 1990: An Assesment

As noted, Polish Storm is out.

This is the fifth installment in a series meant to be a one off novel. We've been at this since 2014. The project has been difficult, it's been a learning experience, sometimes fun, and sometimes excruciating. It has also been a time sink, preventing us from working on projects upon which we'd rather be working. World War: 1990 has been grueling.

Upon finishing Polish Storm we're a much better writer then when we began Arctic Storm.

In our opinion Castro's Folly is the series' best novel. For some reason everything just worked out, especially the Battle of Guanajay Ridge. There's lots of interesting things happening there and we still like our Cubans. You'll be seeing Flavio again and when we eventually do some short story compilations, we'll tell the story of the Contra offensive to liberate Managua.

Sometimes things just work out good.

And sometimes things work out not so good.

We've had magazine articles turnout differently than we hoped, but never a story and that's what Happened with ANZACs. For whatever reason ANZACs just didn't work. The Aussies hate it, by the way. No matter. ANZACs was marketing genius, and gave us a readership down there.

The Final Storm is left to finish. It's at 60,000 words and probably needs to go to 70,000. It's still messy but its coming together. We're thinking January.
