Authors Society discussion

I just released "The Gun Primer" on Amazon and B&N sites for all of $2.99.
This is a NON-PARTISAN look at firearms throughout history and modern times: How they function, what's their advantage, their particular limitation. The intent of this "Guns for Dummies" approach is to help fellow authors work realistic gun uses (and flaws) into their writing.

This is a very useful idea. I tend to skip description of such things because I don't want to go to the trouble of studying the subject when my real concern is the guy using the gun rather than the gun itself. (I see many stories where the text goes off into long descriptions of makes, models, and serial numbers for weapons that are never used, or the type of use is irrelevant to the story.) The most I did was to recently view a youtube video on gun range practices, etiquette, and safety procedures, for a scene that took place in that environment. A quick primer on such things for 'corroborative detail' purposes would be good for me. Thanks.

I hope you find it useful and I did my best to write it as 'non-tedious' as possible. But it WILL keep anyone from making errors that even the TV media makes in almost every newscast these days. I, too, have read my fair share of stories with detectives that put her revolver down after carefully setting the safety, or the semi-automatic weapon that sprayed bullets into the air. This was meant to put us all on the same page.
