Thanks for picking up a copy of my short story “Briery Knob.” This copy is kind of a draft, so you may find some typos and grammatical errors. Feel free to email me and point out what you find.
I owe a special thanks to:
Karen Hill who first turned me to the story. I grew up in Bath County Virginia, about 40 miles from where these events happened, and never heard the tale until Karen pointed it out.
Ned Doyle for helping me catch some typos and other mistakes such as holes in the plot. Ned's a busy guy and the fact he took his time out to help is acknowledged and appreciated.
My wife, Alejandra, or 'Ale'. She put up with me working late at night and early in the morning and she never complained. I'm lucky to have found her so late in my life.
Igor, a friend in Moscow that has been supportive in multiple ways over the years and reached into the depths of his soul to produce a novella, “Decade.” Watching him work on his, gave me the motivation to work on mine.
In a few weeks, this book will be available on Amazon, be ready for a producer and a screenwriter to prepare it for the movies.
Well, the Amazon part is true – the movie deal is a hopeful fantasy still lurking in the mist.
My editor hasn't set a price-point yet for the finished story when it comes out on Amazon, but I'll make a deal with you.
Drop a dollar or so into the 'tip jar' and i'll personally see you get a finished copy when it comes out – at no cost. My small way of saying a huge 'thank you' for being a reader, a fan and a supporter.
Be sure to follow me on Twitter @ Journey_America. I don't know why, but I've collected a million or so followers. I guess I'm living proof that too many people have too much time on their hands.
Email me with questions, concerns, comments and anything else that's on your mind, I'd love to hear from you. If you're ever in Buenos Aires, look me up. I'd like to hang out with you.
