I know I said Cameron’s Road would be released in October, but some events have occurred that have pushed the release back.  Comfort Publishing recently became a client of Music, Books and Business (MB&B).  MB&B is a wholesale distributor of music and book products to all major chain stores such as Borders, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and many others.  In short, because of the new distributor, my novel’s release will be pushed back.  However, it will now have a wider release and better exposure now that MB&B is in charge of distribution.  I guess you’re going to have to wait a little longer to read Cameron’s Road.  I will post any new information as I receive it.  I appreciate all those who checked out the possible cover designs and gave some feedback.  It looks like the cover will be the darker one of the two, with the solitary figure walking.  It seems to be the one more people prefer—myself included.   

And as always, thanks for the support. 

 

On Friday, September 11th, at five o’clock in the morning, my oldest brother, John, started the Wasatch 100 mile trail run.  On Saturday, September 12th, nearly 35 hours later, he crossed the finish line.  He completed 100 miles.  100 miles!  Many people believe that the most grueling athletic event one can accomplish in a lifetime is a marathon.  A marathon is 26.2 miles.  John nearly ran 4 marathons straight. 

The course begins in Kaysville, traverses the Wasatch Mountains, and then ends at the Homestead in Midway.  This is not an easy course.  Runners climb to over 10,000 feet only to descend to 5,500.  And then, just to make sure that feat wasn’t a fluke, they do it again.  John’s cousin, Bard, paced John from mile 40 to 53.  I paced John from miles 53 to 75.  We started at 11:30 at night.  When we reached mile 75, it was after 8:00 in the morning.  The 22 miles I was with him was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  I can’t imagine doing it after having just completed 53 miles.  Incredible.  At mile 75, my brother, Brad, took over.  He paced John through the final 25 miles.  Brad said he never seen a person more determined than John.  The fastest 10 miles John ran were the final 10 miles of the course.  That’s the sign of a man who refuses to lose.  Athletes are people that can physically accomplish tasks that an “average” person deems nearly impossible.  A person that can run 100 miles through the Rocky Mountains is more than an athlete, that person is insane.  Congratulations to John and to all runners that, not only finished, but even had the audacity to attempt the Wasatch 100.

Next week President Obama is giving a speech geared specifically to students.  He has even asked principals to allow students to tune in to hear the speech.  Some parents are outraged.  And they have every right to be.  I mean, seriously, why should we let our kids watch this crap when there is a perfectly good episode of "Gossip Girl" on? 

The publising company has sent me two cover designs.  I have posted them under the "Novels" link.  You can look at both cover choices and tell me which cover you think is better.  The more feedback the better.  Check them out and let me know what you think.  Thanks.
