Our mutual bud Shifty has written a book, RELICS. It’s for order on Amazon in paperback or Kindle. I’ve just finished reading it. It’s a great action/adventure read written with a lot of in-depth knowledge and research on all aspects of the story. This is the best I’ve read in years. It’s hard to put down once started. In my humble opinion, one of the top tier movie directors should put this on the big screen.
Well done Shifty! :salute :aok

WTG! Remember us when the royalties .... eh, just remember us. :) :cheers:

Shifty told me that he’s planning a trilogy. Yeah, it was a captivating story for me. Wanted to jump in there and git some!

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but a few of you may remember CVA64. He flew with the Air Mafia in Air Warriors, and made the switch to Aces High when that closed. He didnt fly long , but many of us stayed in touch with him through the years. He was always big on "his ship" the "Connie". Well it seems he wrote a book about his time aboard. For those interested in the "Last 50-Star Union Jack", check it out!
"Connie" (https://www.amazon.com/Connie-Constellation-Last-50-Star-Union/dp/1555719031/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1527027586&sr=1-3&keywords=connie)

No doubt you’ll enjoy Shifty’s handy work. He’s got some excellent writing talent.

Seriously, though, Kelly says hi. She still remembers that get together fondly.
So I tell her (again) that you're a published author now and she says, "Great!"
Then I get the look.
I say, "Don't say it!"
She says, "I didn't say a thing."
I replied, "You didn't have to."
After a bit, she says it anyway, "You've been telling me since the day we met that you're a writer."
"I know, I know, and now you're gonna use the Shifty thread to beat me upside the head.", says me.
(I should never have pointed out this thread.)
The difference between an author and a writer is that an author has a deadline.

Always glad to help a friend Arlo. :D
Seriously though buddy. If I can write a book anybody can. The last thing I ever thought I'd do would be publish a novel.

Congrats Shifty!
Will try to get a copy of your book soon, to put with my collection of books from AW/AH players...
Dmd Rodan ( Mark Rainey .... Has written multiple books )
The late Dmd KGann ( Mark Andrews )
The late Dmd Niff ( Kelly wrote "Fat Kid's War)
and a couple others I would have to go look up their names..... Dementia is a beoch....
Now I can add you
~S~ and Cheers

ENJOY? UNDERSTATEMENT by FAR :rock I read alot of books in this genre and came to enjoy ALL of David Woods' novels. Few other writers have been able to hook me like he did! You kicked his butt, imo :rock More? :uhoh If you write em, I will read em :cheers:

Thanks buddy there are two more in the series planned. I've started the second one, but my wife and I are in the middle of moving to Honobia Oklahoma, it's about 17 miles from the setting of the story up in the Kiamichi Mountains. As soon as we're settle in I'll be able to get back to the second book.

You won’t regret buying this one. It’s a great read and a lot of fun. Hard to put down once started.

Actually SE Oklahoma is pretty much a hidden gem. Much different from NE Texas where I'm moving from. Check out the Kiamichi Mountains when you have time. I'll be right in the heart of them. Thanks Dico! I hope you enjoy the book old friend. Yes Reschke, for once in my life I finished what I set out to do. :D
-
Very nice area and looks nothing like the Oklahoma I have visited. Looks a lot like the Ozarks. You will love it I think. :cheers:
-
An excellent story, superbly told. As Puma said, one of those hard-to-put-down books.
Who knew that our grouchy Shifty was a gifted artist under his crusty shell? A most pleasant discovery.
Well done, dude. Hope they make it into a Spielberg film.

Can’t wait to read the next one in the trilogy.
