Happy 120th Anniversary!
May 23, 1903
Sewall Crocker and Dr. Jackson departed San Francisco at 1pm on the first road trip to cross the country.
It started as a bet, became a race, and changed the world.

They Made It!
July 24, 1903 - Happy 120th Anniversary
Sewall, the doctor, Bud the dog, and The Vermont pulled into New York City with a parade of cars and arrived at the Holland House.
They finished the trip, won the race and the bet...

Week 1 (4th-8th) of St. Louis Writers Guild's 4th annual Summer Writers Camp has ended... but so many great writers, the books of the future are going to be good.
Many thanks to the guest authors who made it an informative week.

One Month on the Road!
Sewall, the doctor, and Bud the dog had been driving for a month but only made it to Rawlins, Wyoming.
Only 60 days remained to finish and win the bet, plus the corporate-backed teams were only days behind them.

120 years ago today, June 15, Crocker, Jackson, and Bud drove through one of the coolest parts of their journey, Goodale's Cutoff and Craters of the Moon National Park.
Read more in my latest novel.

I did enjoy writing Sewall, but my favorite character in the novel is this guy - Bud (American Bulldog)
He wore goggles!
I think I wrote the book to write cool dog scenes.

My seventh book...
How cool is that. It just came out, and if you're following along, they're still in California.
Historical Fiction based on a real event.
It started as a bet, became a race, and changed the world.
Happy 120th Anniversary!

Other things from travels...
I'm better at going forward in time than backwards.
The US needs to embrace the two-button toilet.
I wish Netflix was more like Netflix International
I love Azorean cheese and pineapple.
They have other amazing foods but the cheese is so good and the pineapple is the juiciest I've ever had.
Back from the Azores!
Had an amazing time hiking the islands of Sao Miguel and Terceira.
Can't wait to return.
Scared? Hadn't been scared since the fiery liftoff. Out the small porthole, I hurtled through the vast emptiness on ion pulses. Contained in my own little world, my thoughts did not unnerve me, for there is peaceful solitude in the journey. No, I feared... the landing. #SciFanSat

Thanks for all the great characters. From Krull to Potter... and so many more.
