For those who are interested and have followed this five-year long saga. The book will be in trade paperback and Adobe eBook form and be available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BAMM< etc. hopefully sometime in February.

[Jeff Head]

FYI...this book will finally be out in print soon.

[RobFromGa]

Looking forward to getting it and reading it.

[Jeff Head]

There was a lot more emotion in putting it together than I would have thought. Those events are still very close to the surface for me. Tell me what you think of the intro and epilogue in particular if you get a chance to read them.

Can't wait to buy my copy! Congratulations, Jeff. I'm sure it's another winner.

[Doomonyou]

Will Check out!

Looks pretty good to me Jeff, the third paragraph of the Intro would make a better lead, and the first two paragraphs at the end.

INTRO
This is the story of how rural western farmers and their supporters stood up against entrenched environmentalists, liberal politicians, appointed Federal judges, and agencies of the Federal Government…and prevailed.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you my friend...going through putting this book together has been like reliving the whole thing. The feelings are deep seated and poignant.

[RobFromGa]

Jeff,

Did you use the old threads much for recall, or were the details all pretty fresh?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The government can put guards on water that belongs to farmers, but will not protect our borders!

[Jeff Head]

I had it that way to begin with...but all of that, starting from that paragraph that you mention are also on the back cover of the book and I wanted to add a personal precursor on the inside. Should I just do away with that precursor?

[Jeff Head]

I have had a lot of this up on my site for a long time...since it happened. I used most of that to help write the book.

[Jeff Head]

Please do...and let me know what you think.

[Jeff Head]

It was a crazy...and very sobering experience. It could not be allowed to stand there in Klamath...and it didn't.

[Publius6961]

Thank you for sharing.
I suppose even the mods feel a little satisfaction at one of our own publishing something.

Good luck.

[RobFromGa]

Personally I think it weakens the importance of the event and you should just lead into it.

You could include a final paragraph briefly describing your involvement and how it happened, and end with the "The time has come for this author to tell that story. ".

Did you consider a stronger word than "Stand" like "Battle" or "Conflict" or "Struggle" or "Standoff" or "Encounter"?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I called our local Hastings and the book is not in their system yet.
I will call them back next week.

[durasell]

...and for sale at Big R Ranch wholesale.

[Jeff Head]

Good advise on the intro...I will change per your comments.

"Stand" in the title is what I feel good about...I have called it that from the start and there is already a lot of recognition out there to that name.

As always, my friend, thank you for your comments and advise.

[Jeff Head]

It will probably be several weeks. Mid to late February.
