I recently launched the Recall SUSD site to support the recall of 4 of the 5 board members of the Scottsdale Unified School District. This includes a donation page, news blog, events calendar, action items, talking points, and more.
Brian Ference designed and launched the new AZ LD15 GOP site https://azld15gop.org/ in close coordination with the newly elected board which made national news with the quote “Tuesday night in an amazing show of patriotism, 50 new Precinct Committeemen were sworn in by State Senator Nancy Barto.“ The new board and new website was mentioned in national news which brought a huge increase in traffic saying “LD15 has added all these PC’s and launched an impressive new LD15 website“.
To quote the author Jim Hoft on what he thinks the future holds for the LD: “What an impressive group!“
The site includes donations, a members only PC portal, a shop for online sales, and much more. Check out a few screenshots below:
Immortal Mages. A Pirate Queen. Mutant Sea Monsters. Dragon Wars.
An ambush gone wrong brings the rise of a new Queen that threatens to tear the pirates apart.
Fresh from the loss of his old master, Darek struggles to forge his own path as both Dragon Mage and Dragon Rider. How will he face the new terror rising from the ashes of the past, stirring the waters and the sea serpents into a frenzy?
The dragons are no longer the obedient beasts of old and begin to reject the control of their Dragon Riders. Can Darek learn the many untaught lessons needed to forge new runestones and bring the dragons back from the brink of an uprising?
How can he fight the Pirate Queen once he learns her true identity?
Can anything stop the tides of war and prevent the Islanders from destroying themselves?
Dive into this world of adventure, imagination, splendor, and danger that fans of Dragonriders of Pern, Eragon, Dragonlance, Dragon Blood, Dragonvein, Temeraire, and Dragon School will love. Buy or read free with Kindle Unlimited on Amazon
