Thomas Aiman: Writer of Dystopia from a Christian perspective.



http://www.amazon.com/American-Apocalypse-First-Attack-Dystopia-ebook/dp/B00OR5RAI4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1415030678&sr=8-2&keywords=American+Apocalypse

Thomas Aiman is an acquaintance I recently made who beat me to the punch in writing the granddaddy of all end of the world Doomsday/Dystopian short story's. Coming from a Christian perspective, American Apocalypse is the introduction his Days of Dystopia series.
     In eight pages he blows up 6 major cites, kills off 20 percent of the American Population, shares the testimony of how a Muslim converted to Christianity and became a pastor who lost his family to a violet act of terrorism.
     He goes on to draw a picture of how the world is caught in a vacuum when America goes down. He delves into the Mark of The Beast with an interesting twist on the mystery of  666.
     In case you haven't figured it out, I am stoked about the up and coming series and this is a personal invitation to readers, friends and family to give the intro  a look. I was left hanging and hoping for more.
     As promised a few days ago, I will be interviewing Thomas soon and posting it on the Blog.

Amazon's New Fire

I recently made a decision to upgrade my phone, and justified the purchase by telling myself it was more of a need than a want.
     I was persuaded by the psychology which was reinforced by the fact of my old 3g iPhone being on the brink of extinction. Then AT&T made it easy with their Next Plan.
     Then once I made the decision to buy, I had to decide which phone to purchase. I had heard the buzz ab out Apple's new i6 pulse coming out and thought I wanted one.
     Untile Amazon introduced the Fire Phone and threw in a free year of prime to boot. This complimented matters a bit because I am an Amazon freak, or something like that.
     You who follow me on the blog and Facebook already know I publish with Amazon on their Kindle platform and read a tremendus amount on my Kindle app.
     I wanted a phone that integrated my reading  App and KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) material as seamless as possible. So, with that I squeezed the trigger and walked away from a long and loyal relationship with Apple.
     Once the purchase was made and I walked out the door, I began to second guess myself. It was not buyers remorse, but more like, "Dang, hope I made the right choice."
      Two and a half months after the fact I must say.."THIS PHONE IS AWESOME! " It intergrates everything I do with Amazon wonderfully and  the year of prime membership gives me a million songs, tons of books, at no cost and free shipping.
     Now that Apple has responded by not allowing people to browse the Kindle store from the Kindle app thats downloaded to the iPad and iPhones leaves me really happy with the decision I made.
     The Amazon Fire Phone has a larger screen that makes for easy reading and...blogging.
     Yes, this is written and posted from my phone.  And there you have it.... Apple's Iphone, or Amazon's Fire? For me... it's the Fire hands down. No regrets and never looking back.

 Until we meet again,
