Thank you gentlemen. I hope my writing lives up to the cover.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Final final on the cover.  I had the artist remove that horizontal bar on the safety loop.  It was that irksome to me I needed it gone.  As I mentioned before, I'll live with the artificial fender flares..

I give myself to the end of the month to have 100 of these books in print.  Many will be going to the gift shop at the Tail of the Dragon in Deals Gap.  I will retain a few to sell locally at gas stations, automotive repair facilities and anywhere else that will accept them for display.  Anyone on saac interested I will reserve a few as well.  I am fronting all the expenses for this project.  It is daunting but at the same time exciting.  And thank you to all who downloaded my ebooks.  In addition to the US and Canada, I was getting downloads from far flung regions of the world like Germany, UK, India.  I was pleasantly surprised.

The cover is finished by the printer and I just sent the approve. "Treadheart" on the back cover is a logo I drew and adopted as my own personal Jolly Roger in life.
Tail of the Dragon store is taking ten copies. It's been a fun project in my life.
Best,

The books just arrived today.  Diggypod did amazing work. I need to build a website. Sending down ten tomorrow to the Tail of the Dragon store as they requested.

Nothing beats a classic!

I'm selling books here. Inventory is moving. A bit taken aback by the response at this bookstore. I'm more accustomed to angry people who come to my office and I sell them legal services. This is a most refreshing change let me tell you.

Best,

Winding down here. Will put up a website soon. People like ebooks because I got a number of requests as such.
