HEY MILE MONSTER!!!!!

“shoot me an email.”

“I just saw on your webpage where you wrote several trail guides. I'm assuming those were your books. I never knew. Impressive.”

“Yeah, they're mine. Thanks for noticing. They were good projects.

That web page, grrr. I've been wanting to get my AT pics up on that site but I just can't muster the energy. Maybe I'll just post them to WebShots. I wanted to post alot of supporting info on the hike, though. (hum, haw) I guess I just need to get to work.”

“Cool. I saw the book covers and could just make out your name. It was then that I looked under the cover to see the title and author info. Very nice.

How many have you written. Seems like the dates put them a few years after college?”

“I self publshed two guides and then wrote two more for Falcon Publishing. The work started right after college, the latest published a few years ago.”

“Very nice.

Maybe you could pull a Johnny Malloy and do that full time.

I've always wondered if your hobby becomes your job if it ceases to be your hobby.”

“Only if it's not fun anymore.”

“It's mostly good fun. The problem is that you need alot of titles or some GREAT sellers to bring in any real cash. I'd need to do the Stephen King thing to make it a living. I suppose I could freelance. The Krakaur thing?”

“Tim Cahill?”
