Thank you Par3! check out www.relicsbook.com and scroll down for the second book.  :aok The cover Puma posted is actually the second addition of the first book. I republished with Empire Publishing last October. The title changed slightly to RELICS (The Dark Autumn) The second book you are interested in is RELICS II (The Honobia Remnant) You'll find it as you scroll down. by the way I snuck military flying scenes into both books. Way more in RELICS II than the first book though.

When you move up into the Kiamichi mountains of Oklahoma, you leave a lot of infrastructure behind. Our internet is a joke. The nearest gas pump is 17 miles away along with the nearest post office. The nearest grocery store is over 40 miles away. I did notice a crew burying fiber optic cable about ten miles from here and heading this direction. Who knows maybe by the end of the year I'll have the bandwidth to fly again. I'll be the one the rust clouds fly off of when I get air borne.

Yeah, I saw she’s now a “Bidness” owner.  Good on her.  There’s no doubt she’s doing it right for her customers pups.  Since she’s in charge now, she can give herself time off to play on Monday nights, right?
