I Finally Did It


Recommended Posts


Way to go Doc, getting anything published these days is difficult at best.
Hearty congratulations, I'm sure it's a worthy read.

Don't misunderstand guys.  someone didn't publish this, I did it myself.  I thought if a company like Gold Rush Expeditions thought it was good enough to publish in their Christmas magazine I thought maybe it was time for me to put it in book form for posterity.

Let's face it, it's not some epic novel.  It's just a short feel good Christmas story.

I mean it probably reads at the second grade level. 😄

I've never been much on correct punctuation.

(Actually I did pay to have it professionally proof read and corrected.  Not sure how good a job they did.)

I know most of you have read and enjoyed this story over the years.  It is still up on my website and you can read it for free.

This wasn't a money making project, but as I said many of you have asked if I had it in book form.  It would probably make a good Christmas stocking stuffer for your favorite prospector.

I've never been much on correct punctuation, so you might say this little story is like an old woman that has gone through menopause... no periods; just one run on sentence for 63 pages.  😂

A crude reference to woman.

Got your autographed copy of the book Doc, and many thanks for putting it together. A very engaging tale of a lovely story about chasing the gold as well as the most important values in life. Truly enjoyed the read, and in addition, I came to realize that you're already a published author! Congratulations on that achievement as well.

All the best Doc, and thanks for spinning a yarn I'll always remember,

Lanny
