Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
I heard Andy say (Radio) that he may speak a little and read from the book a little at the start. I'll be there at 2:00 pm to catch that.hatchdog wrote:Yea, I thinking that with all this great exposure there may be a good line at tomorrow's book signing.
Also, I hear that there may be a newspaper story coming out very soon. Keep an eye out for that and if so, I'll try to post a link.

Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
My 4 year old son and I went to the book signing, had Mr Brown sign a couple books, my eldest son is Security Forces in the Air Force, who just returned to his home base in Germany after 6 month deployment to a very sandy part of the Middle East. Andy was very gracious and nice guy. I have read almost half the book today and it is a excellent read

Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
Great event and well worth the time spent. The wife & I were there for 1.5 - 2.0 hours. Andy is a great guy and it was very cool to see all the support he had from friends and family alike. If Andy is ever in trouble and needs help of any kind, I for one will stand by his side anywhere, anytime.
Edit: For those that couldn't make the book launch today and would like to buy a copy, please do so from his Facebook page or the web site as the amount Andy gets to keep from the sale is a little more than from Amazon sales. In any case... Buy the book and help support a local man that truly cares about the security of the citizens that he serves and protecting the 2nd amendment. bb

Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
I intended to go out to the signing but have been sick all week and decided to stay home. BUT, I just ordered Andy's book from his website and it is so easy even a delirious fevered hacking "old guy" had no problem getting it done!bladebum wrote:Great event and well worth the time spent.

Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
Thank you to all who were able to make it out to the book signing last Saturday. Sorry I wasn't able to post a reminder, and thank you Bladebum for stepping in for me.
The day was a great success, with several survivors of the hospital shooting in attendance showing their support for the book. Warnings Unheeded is not a memoir of my experience. It is an account of the before, during and after of both tragedies as told by the people who lived and died during the incidents.
If you are interested. Center Target in Post Falls has scheduled me to sign books on 10 DEC 16, beginning at noon. If that changes I will do my best to let you know. Also, if you haven't already done so, you can subscribe to Center Targets email newsletter via their website.
Warnings Unheeded is also available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Warnings-Unheede ... s+unheeded
Thank you again.

"An amazing book. An instant classic. Staff Sergeant Brown is a true guardian who saved countless lives with supernatural marksmanship skill in a moment of great need, but he has also proven himself to be a true warrior-wordsmith who will save even more lives, as the lessons from this book are learned and applied in our current violent times. Absolutely “required reading” for law enforcement and mental health professionals, but also profoundly valuable for anyone who wants to understand violence and mental illness in our society today."

Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
I'm glad to hear that it went so well and regret that I was not able to go to the recent book signing but I am recovering from cataract surgery and cannot see well enough to drive at night, and getting dark early doesn't help. This, along with other conflicting family events taking place over the weekend didn't help either. I hope to be able to attend the signing on 10 Dec.AFCop wrote:Thank you to all who were able to make it out to the book signing last Saturday.

Re: Active Shooting at Fairchild Air Force Base
I finished the book and man, it's very well written. The author takes us through the events leading up to the two tragedies by alternating between the two events while touching briefly on his history.Andy does this with an excellent style that makes you feel like you were present with the characters as he describes their activities and when he takes us through the actual shooting event at the base hospital it is so realistic it gave me the chills. I highly recommend reading this book and if you are like me, mainly a reader of novels, don't hesitate to pick it up, you won't be disappointed!
