Rewrites, Rewrites, Rewrites!
Now that I've finished the initial draft of Frontiers, the real work has started. I'm working hard to make Frontiers my best work yet. Writing a novel is tough, don't let anyone kid you. But like Michael Crichton said, great novel aren't written, they're rewritten!
Frontiers is the sequel to Cybersp@ce. I'm also planning a third novel to conclude the trilogy, tentatively entitled, New Beginnings.
Stay tuned!!

Sun Tzu Rules!
I'm re-reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu now, but much slower than before. Funny how patience comes slowly with age. I'm fascinated by the many applications this little book of strategy contains. It seems as pertinent to the politician, businessman, and athlete as it does to the generals and presidents!
FRONTIERS Update!
Well, I'm done with the first draft of FRONTIERS, the sequel to CYBERSP@CE. Now comes the hard work, the many rewrites I plan to make, which hopefully will make this my best novel yet.
Happy reading and writing!
Happy reading and writing!

From the press release...
CYBERSP@CE:
A Captivating New Techno-Thriller from author Jeff W. Horton
Cybersp@ce is an intense, captivating, non-stop thrill ride complete with crippling cyber attacks that kill over a hundred thousand people, a former KGB agent bent on the rebirth of the Soviet Empire, and Area 51.
Jeff W. Horton's thrilling saga follows Cyber Command's Nick Reynolds and scientist Kate Summers as they struggle to prevent a massive cyber attack, which they know will trigger a global nuclear war that will devastate the planet.
Nikolai Chervanko is a former KGB officer with a single objective––to create a new, glorious Soviet Empire that far surpasses the original. To achieve his goal, he comes up with a masterful plan; through a series of deadly cyber attacks against the United States, he will create an international standoff between the United States and China. A devastating war between the two nuclear nations will then create a power vacuum that only the Soviet Empire will be able to fill.
After one hundred thousand Americans die in one of the cyber attacks, with evidence pointing towards the Chinese, tensions run high as the two nations stand on the brink of war. Nick Reynolds and Kate Summers race against time to find a means to thwart the next step of Chervanko's plan, a massive, extremely advanced cyber attack against the infrastructure of the United States. They soon discover that in order to save the future, however, they must first look to the past.
Most of Cybersp@ce takes place in Russia, and at the mysterious Area 51, located at Groom Lake in Nevada. Cybersp@ce was released in January, 2013.
Cybersp@ce, is an exciting, action-packed story with plenty of surprises along the way. "I wanted readers to completely immerse themselves in a story they found too compelling to put down," says Horton. "Cybersp@ce will keep readers engaged from beginning to end and then, just when they believe the story has ended, they learn that in reality, it has only begun."
World Castle Publishing is based in Pensacola, FL. Cybersp@ce was released in January, 2013 and is now available worldwide.

I'm nearing the 70,000 word mark in Frontiers, the sequel to my most current release, the techno-thriller Cybersp@ce. I believe people will enjoy Cybersp@ce and Frontiers, as well as the third and final novel in the series, which I expect to have finished by sometime next year.
