"The Last Independence Day: Secession" explores secession in the modern era, capturing the tumultuous collapse of the United States political order. The narrative gains an intense turn as domestic terrorists launch a catastrophic attack against the US Capitol, assassinating the nation's leadership. This act of terror exacerbates the political crisis, deepening the divide and chaos. Central to the story is Jon Freeman, an apolitical lawyer who becomes entangled in these extraordinary events. Arkansas, along with other red states, morphs into a stronghold of right-wing extremism following the 2022 midterm elections. Extremist politicians create the Red State Compact, with Arkansas at its forefront, passing the oppressive "New Law" that strips away civil rights, plunging the red states into a dystopian nightmare. Freeman's odyssey is that of an unanticipated hero, propelled into a battle against the "New Law" and the radical political landscape. His adversary is the formidable Arkansas Governor Suzy Brandy 'Buckshot' Landers, the face of the new authoritarian regime. The narrative weaves Freeman's efforts to deal with the secession of several states, fight a growing rebellion, and prevent an impending civil war. His journey is not only a test of his bravery but also a reflection of his deep-seated commitment to his nation and state, now at the brink of fragmentation and conflict.

Educated at the New Mexico Military Institute and the University of New Mexico, his disciplined approach to life infuses his writing with power plays and tactical maneuverings. With a Juris Doctor from the University of Arkansas School of Law, he brings raw authenticity to his work as a practicing lawyer, navigating the corridors of political and legal schemes. Raymond, an astute observer of contemporary socio-political discourse, invites readers to explore thought-provoking "what ifs" in his stories. He resides with his husband, Jesse, in Northwest Arkansas, where they share a love for flying, travel, and adventures with their two dogs.
