    It's Official Now...

    Hey all-

    I am now a published author!

    A while back I alluded to the fact that I was writing a novel. Well, it's official now that I have my author's copies of "Destiny's Change" in my hands.



    It' feels good to finally have a book in print, considering how many tech articles I wrote for the various slot car racing magazines back in the day. Now to start the next one...

    BTW, there is something very wrong in this picture. See if you can spot the glaring problem. It has nothing to do with kilts ...

    You only have half a chain lock on the door?

    Congratulations on being published.

    Congratulations and good luck with the next one... or two or more.

    Please let us know where to order a copy when it's available. I'd love to read it. Heck, I'll read about anything... almost . I love novels.
