HOW THE ROO IS SPENDING HIS SUMMER:

1. Finishing up what I hope to be the final revision of last year's novel (yes, it really DOES take a year). It'll be up on Amazon in a few weeks.
2. Released the second edition of my first book- nuthin' new, just some editing and I pulled "Shooter TWO TWO FIVE" and put other stuff in. Don't run out and buy it
3. Scraping together another book for next year. Maybe the hoity-toity literary agents will wake up and smell the coffee.
4. Revision number NINE of the Rooster Rig (parade flag mount for Heritage). The new system (called a Dragon Flag) is shown in my signature.
5. Getting over last night's kidney stone. Ooooofffh.
6. Wrote about the Dragon Flag on "HDTalking" and got banned for life without parole for spamming. I can't see my keyboard for the tears.
7. Cussin' the fucing eyboard. My damn KKKKKKK is messed up.

OK, you want a story? Ya GOT a story! Stay tuned.

Roo!

Shooter 225 was one of my favorites. Sorry to hear you dropped it.

Thanks, guys. "225" was replaced with more "bike-centric" material, but was pulled so that it could be submitted to short story competitions. It's still free to read on my personal site, along with some other good ones. I can't publish the URL, 'cause the site is semi-commercial, but I will email any of the stories to a forum member for free. If possible, I'll convert 'em into Kindle format. I did that once, I'm sure I can do it again. If I can get the new book off the keyboard, I'll convert it into .PDF and Kindle and any forum member can have an electronic copy free for the asking. It should be ready by mid-July. Warning, it's a ghost story aimed more at women readers, and doesn't mention motorcycles at all. Also, this offer requires the approval of the forum moderators, 'cause the book will be commercially available. (MODERATORS - PLEASE READ THIS POST AND GIVE ME A RULING. If I'm afoul of the rules, please delete this post.)

Roo!

Thanks,, Thumper. There's not been a huge rush of requests from forum members to get a copy of the new book, so I reckon it's not gonna be a big deal to amputate this thread.
