Look what I found!

Wow, look what I found this weekend at the Goodwill in Yuma. It was in an old broken desk in the corner. I bought it for seventy five cents. It is my novel, apparently an old leather bound edition printed in 2128. It took me a few moments to figure out it is from the future. Click on it to get a better look, the little picture doesn't do justice to the old embossed worn leather.

Anyway, this is going to save me a lot of time. I was having to actually make it up before, now I can just transcribe right from the book. Should speed things up considerably.

I took some scans of the title page and saw that it is a direct descendant of one of my characters who printed it. Ain't that crazy? Turns out there was plenty of oil, I was so wrong, but you'll have to wait until I can finish transcribing the book to hear how wrong I was. See there was this white duck who walked up to Ben, Mark and. . . Naw, that would ruin it.

Chapter 4 is now part of the downloadable .pdf file. You will find it in the navigation bar on the right. It is formatted in 12 point Times Roman and wider than the blog. Chapter 5 will not disappoint. Stay tuned.
