Howdy, Nature Boy...
Good to hear from you. The book is in several stores in Cochise County, Arizona, and in a few stores up here. I fill them in from time to time. I also sell ones and twos from my website:
http://www.snakehuntingbook.com
but I really need to find a place to advertise it. When I put the book in stores, I have to give them a 50% discount. That leaves me with a couple dollar profit on each one. I'll never be able to retire that way.
Meantime, my novel about an enchanted gardener in the 1880s is supposedly next in line at a real publisher, but it's sooooo hard to wait. That's the one I'm most proud of. The movie people have had it for a month now, and I'm waiting for their verdict on it's suitability for film adaptation.
Trudging along at work, and trying my hand at being a gentleman farmer at home with a major backyard and hill slope renovation, including the planting of 2 dozen fruit trees. Major problem with ground squirrels and rabbits though, and I refuse to kill them, but often get tempted.
A friend of mine wrote a wonderful book about the Bracero Program of the 1950s and 60s in Blythe, California, and he just got it on Amazon. I promised to do a review of it, and will do so within a week. If you get a chance to get it, it's called The Mexican Operation, by Lee Silva.
I'm going to Las Vegas for a shoe show Monday thru Wednesday, so need to get off this machine and do some things to get ready.
Glad to see you staying out of trouble. I love the Nature Boy moniker, and I urge you to exploit it to the max.
Warm campfires,
Richard
