Overlanding in the Southeastern US......

Well folks, check this out when you get a chance, was a few months in the making and came through last night. The original subtitle was "It may be bull****, but it's my bull****" got rejected by management.

Very cool Izzy!

 

[weejub]

Awesome, Izzy! I actually bought this one - should I have bought from you direct? :\

Let me know if you ever need a "beta reader" - - Given your breadth of work, I am expecting you to now transition to fiction - maybe post apocalyptic sci fi or romantic high fantasy . . . .

Good job, Izzy! Should I buy from Amazon or directly through you? Which way puts more money in your pocket?

Thank you Dave! Haven't even considered selling them myself, good point... so far it's just Amazon, and because of book being in color I make $2 per copy. So not part of my retirement plan, maybe part of my "snacks for the trail" budget.

I figure Jeff Bezos already has plenty of trail snacks. Just trying to get YOU the most snacks possible. Here's hoping you'll be eating steak and lobster on the trail! Purchased my copy. Will get you to autograph later.

BTW, I just read your thread on rehabbing the a/c idler pulley bearing. Mine is squawking. I decided to order a new bearing but I'll be using your thread as a reference during the swap. Good info!

If you want to being a stack of them to LR we can put them on the tables for you.

Ordered.

 

[forrest5000]

Ordered, now you going to autograph it ?

 

[izzyandsue]

For you, of course! What name you want me to use?

Forgot to tell you, I met your stunt double up in the Northwestern territory

Izzy, I just ordered my copy and yes, I want it autographed at LR. I can't believe you are only getting $2 per copy. Who gets the other $23? Maybe you should consider selling them as an ebook and reap all the proceeds. In any event, congratulations and I'm look forward to reading it. I LOL when I saw the picture of you're big red condo, no RRT yet?

Ummm . . .I have NEVER seen Izzy in a tent that small - I think he Photoshop'd it in.

I can't wait for a copy to arrive. I need to know. Did my sunburnt feet make the final edit?
Maybe in the chapter about disappointing your spouse...

 

[NCFJ]

At least a chapter about Rainbows, Butterflies and Unicorns

A kindle version is in the works. Amazon has a publishing calculator to download, and anyone can get it and play with pages, ink, and price, and you get the royalty. For 173 pages in color, royalty = (price x 0.6) - $12.96. The last number is the cost to print 173 pages. Black and white is a lot less to print. I could raise the price later, or do a black and white version. But color is so much better....

I do plan to be at LR, bring a stack to sell/raffle too!

You are in it, at least your gingerwhite legs under “There can only be one “ truck. And one of your boys was climbing winch hill with me... you can’t see the face, but you’ll know!
