Self-Publishing
As a self-publishing author, David R. Beasley, like many other authors, finds himself in a constant struggle to compete with industry giants that have the funds to market and convince the public that their books are the only ones they should read. One only needs to read a few self-published books to realize there's a ton of extrordinary talent being held back by unfair rules and politics. Follow David in his quest for fairness....

American Invasions of Canada

U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention for the United States to make Canada the 51st U.S. state. Although he said the take-over would be only through economic pressure, his reputation for using force and dissimulation alerted Canadians to the possibility of an armed invasion. Canada has faced several invasions from the United States. I have listed them with brief descriptions chronologically for readers not familiar with Canadian history and those who are new to the country and its background. For the major invasions such as in the War of 1812—14 I have given descriptions of the fighting to illustrate the savagery of war even when the weaponry seems primitive in comparison to today’s killing machines.

American Invasions of Canada is a pamphlet of 25 pages and free to anyone interested in reading it. It can be downloaded as a pdf from the Essays page or the link below.
