Author Interview: Andrew Curtiss author of 1984 Redux

About Your Book: 1984 Redux

July, 2009; Andrew Curtiss received a Chain Mail in his E-Mail box. The Message was sent to him from a former colleague he served with in the US Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg North Carolina. The subject line of the message read "Congratulations you made the terrorist watch list!" The content suggested that the Department of Homeland Security had labeled millions of Americans who are Constitutionalists, Pro Life, of Christian faith, voters for right wing politics, are combat veterans and more; as potential domestic terrorists. After researching the matter Andrew found that the DHS did in fact publish such a report that was meant to be confidential for law enforcement only. The report was published April 7, 2009. It was during Andrew's research into the matter that he realized the "Fundamental Transformation" of America as promised by Barrack Obama was indeed transforming America into something much like Oceania in George Orwell's "1984". 1984 Redux digs deep into the issues facing Americans today as America "Fundamentally Transforms". Curtiss draws the comparison of where Obama and his leftist handlers and drones want to take America as part of this transformation; to the extreme Socialist Oligarchy depicted in Orwell's "1984". Supported by scores of references and facts, one might be surprised to see how close to Orwell's nightmarish depiction America is headed. 1984 Redux is not only a wake up call to America, but the world; as to what could be if the most influential nation in the world and "last hope for freedom" falls to the left.

What do you think readers will find most notable about this book?

Andrew Curtis
I think that the readers will really be taken back by how many references there; are so they can do their own research. I also feel that they may be shocked when they find that my research has uncovered exactly where the Federal Government and Globalists want to take the United States.

Have you acquired any good anecdotes surrounding this book? If so, could you share one?

Andrew Curtis
Yeah, I was doing so much intense late night research and writing for this book, that my wife accused me of having some sort of online affair with "Internet Sluts"! I am a bit of a binge writer and tend to be most creative from 3 PM to about 3AM. Basically the fact that I get creative at late hours and that I don't stop , once I get started was not good for my married life. But all is well now. I guess she just never knew me to get so into my writing. (Big Smile)

Did researching and writing this book teach you anything or influence your thinking in any way?

Andrew Curtis
Yes! I was a convicted conservative Republican before my research. And now I am a Libertarian and my complete view of life as we know it has changed.

What would you most like readers to tell others about this book?

Andrew Curtis
I would like for readers to read the book, do their own research and not take my word for it, use my website, blog, social media and Youtube pages and channels and tell others about how badly "We the People" have been and are still being raped by the Government.

Can you suggest one question readers might find interesting to discuss, concerning you, your writing in general, or this book?

Andrew Curtis
Why? Perhaps they might ask why, a guy in my profession as a consultant for the government with over an 11 year military career who was hard core Republican would flip 180 degrees risk it all and then push so hard against the establishment.
