Warner Shawn gave 3 stars to Homeland Insecurity (Audible Audio) by Shawn M. Warner
bookshelves: to-read
Homeland Insecurity is the tale of secret agent apsiring teens, Jack, the strategic mastermind, Phil, the tactical expert who can finesse any situation, Peter, the fidgety, athletic and muscular one and the youngest of our heros, Collin, who can intellectually outwit and outmaneuver anyone, and I mean anyone.

One thing Jack can't stand is a bully. There's no bully, big/small, or older/wiser Jack won't stand up against to protect their victims. There's no one Phil, Peter and Collin would rather be with in a battle then Jack.

When Jack finds out his sister's best friend, Kelly, a political refugee, is being targeted for revenge by the man her father sent to prison, Jack and his friends spring into action.

Jack and his friends are prepared to fight a battle against an enemy who will stop at nothing to get the revenge he seeks. For Jack and his friends to survive, he and his friends will have to work as a team where winning has a price.

I write action-adventure stories that inspired me to start writing as a little kid, since my mom read me adventure stories about a boy and his horse when I was six. If an author is allowed to have a favorite, these Langley Irregulars are my favorite so far.

Homeland Insecurity took me over 15 years to write and publish. It was the story I was writing when Leigh Howard and the Ghosts demanded to be written. One viral story and months later sees Homeland Insecurity coming to a bookstore near you on June 4, 2024.

PREORDERS
If you'd like a pre-ordered signed copy of Homeland Insecurity, you can find where to purchase one from my website. If it's still available use the discount code: preorder2024


ARC COPIES
Early reviews are really important for authors and I do appreciate all your help in welcoming Homeland Insecurity into the world. I like to say Jack is hoping Leigh's success helps him and his friends get noticed. If you are genuinely interested to write a review for Homeland Insecurity, I'd love to get you an ARC copy.

I have a limited number of ARC Copies available. If I ever get access to my Author Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ account I'll make them available via give-aways. If not, you can reach out to [email protected] for a copy.

If you've pre-ordered and want an ARC Copy so you can leave a review, you are in luck because we are prioritizing anyone who has already pre-ordered Homeland Insecurity. Send an email to [email protected] and point us to your past review so we can verify that you have written a review. We can't make promises for ARCs. We have few ARCs and we want to ensure they get into the right hands of folks who'll help us spread the Homeland Insecurity word.

BOOKISH MERCH
If you do purchase Homeland Insecurity elsewhere and want bookish merch, SAVE YOUR RECEIPT! Head on over to my website and I'll gladly send you the bookish merch (stickers, bookmark and a signed book plate) in exchange for proof of purchase.


HOMELAND INSECURITY UPDATES
Jack and his friends go by the monicker, The Langley Irregulars. Homeland Insecurity is the First Mission.

Second Mission of the Langley Irregulars is already written. (In 15 years I wrote Jack's first story and the follow up story and have been revising, which is the story of any writer. Books aren't written - they're re-written.) I'll be looking for how to bring Second Mission to a bookstore near you in the near future.

Thanks for reading,

Homeland Insecurity by Shawn M. Warner
"Homeland Insecurity is an intriguing young adult thriller, with a full team of engaging characters -- high school kids you can't help but root for. We've been in their shoes, navigating teenagedom between the treacherous waters of bullies, principal visits, burgeoning independence, who's dating who, and dreams of someday being spies. All that takes a back seat when a terrorist cell threatens to bring deadly political retribution to their hometown. What follows is a fast-paced, action-packed, heartbreaking tale that doesn't let up until the very end!"

Homeland Insecurity by Shawn M. Warner
"Homeland Insecurity is a great read, it was very compelling and it drew me in so effectively. I rarely write reviews but when I read this book, I knew I had to let everyone know. The character development made me truly care about them. I had a hard time putting it down. Shawn's style of writing wonderfully captures the friendship, the tension, the angst, and the details that make it such a tremendous book. I highly reccomend it for all ages from young adults and up."

Steelwing is a fun adventure into the world of video games and into the mind of a thirteen year-old girl. Her frustration over being trapped inside her favorite game, where her mom gets to play the hero and not her, is wonderful. Outside the game, Cammie faces all the usual-suspect pressures of a young teen, along with the added stigma of having a prosthetic arm - as if teens aren't self-conscious enough to begin with! Beautifully written, fast paced, and entertaining. ]]>
