Way to go Jeff, I want to read your book but can't read on the computer, I'll wait for the inevitable print version. Ping me when that happens.

Care to elucidate on how you wrote the book, how long? how much a day? process followed? obviously you have a series well though out-- did you outline all the books? Just curious. Congratulations again,

I can't wait for the final chapter where the evil Klamathian army of beaurocrats get their final reward-- LOL.

Outlined the whole series up front. It was a resurrected idea I had from about 1996 or so when I actually wrote about 50-70 pages of material. That material )appropriately updated) appears near the end of this book. Once you've read it, if you are interested, I'll let you know exactly what and where.

Spent many, many late night hours while working as a consultant then as a manager at a local technology company. Worked about 5 1/2 months in that mode ... the time being significantly interrupted by what I felt was my duty in trying to help the people over in the Klamath Basin.

Enlisted the help of many friends in reviewing/editing things as they came out, several right here on FR.

Got great input and even some short writing on a couple of the character sequences which I then folded into the tale.

Lost my job on September 14th and decided then to invest all of my time and whatever savings it took to finish the book and get it to market. It was a risk, we were worried, we prayed a lot (still doing all of those things) ... but I was and am convinced that it is a worthwhile story that has a message that needs to be told ... particularly now.

So that's where we are.

This thread is good news because the book is getting some exposure and consideration. I am still pretty reserved about it (my parents taught me to never count chickens before they hatch) and intend on continuing with it on my own if I must, but hoping that a good, reputable company picks it up and gets it out there.

BTW, thanks for ordering one ... I saw the notice this morning. I sincerely hope you enjoy it and that it is engrossing. They'll ship probably week after next sometime.

Best regards.
