2 Sept 23: My newest novel, Simon Pack: Knight Storm, will appear within a week. I love writing, but do not write for that reason alone. Yes, some books spawned from my interest in smokejumping, for example, and coal mining, and railroading. Chiefly, however, I’ve written because I have something to say about our beloved Republic. This book, probably more than the others, has everything to do with the America we’re living in today. Here’s a sampling of the topics I examine in these pages: religion, false idols, education, politics, the military, and sports. I believe it’s an important commentary on our epoch. If you think I have erred, let me know. My email is available at the end of the book. And, believe me, I’m aware I’ll have detractors ...more

I am stalwart. I can withstand uncomplimentary reviews. The following comments are not a response to a particular review, but do reply to quite valid points of view about which I've thought a good deal.

First, I do not write to mollify holders of any political views. That said, I consider myself competent to discuss any and all major political issues. I know of few who have schooled themselves as t Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by John M. Vermillion  (?)

“A detective in love with a breathtakingly beautiful stripper, who also is a major criminal: “Among her coterie of supplicants was Joe Fucci, a senior detective on the Laughlin force. Joe regarded himself as handsome, and he was. If he went without shaving for three days, a John Deere was required to cut through the growth. No electric razor created by man stood a chance in that tangle of growth.”
John M. Vermillion, Pack's Posse

“The Director of the US Marshals Service, who does not like Pack: “Seems to me Simon Pack’s a grandstander. I remind you I’m a West Pointer myself. I remember his ill-fated year as Superintendent, acting as if he were MacArthur incarnate. The All-America player in a couple sports, the man in the College Football Hall of Fame; the Governor of a small state; the leader of a constitutional convention. And yeah, he was also a hobo, maybe the biggest grandstand move he ever undertook.”
John M. Vermillion, Pack's Posse

“Under fire, trying to get a fugitive out of Honduras: “Their pilot hopped out of the cockpit to allow them entry room. Pack sent Keto [Belgian Malinois K-9] up first. Then he dragged Triandos up. The prisoner’s head pinged off every step on the way up. His head struck the bulkhead as Pack flung his bulk into the cabin. ‘I know there’s a protocol,’ Pack thought, ‘but whoever wrote it was never in this situation.”
