PAPERBACK WRITER!

The paperback version of "The Laugh & Times of Mushy,"my other book, is up and ready at Lulu.com.

As I've said, it's a compilation of blog post from Mushy's Moochings (Also known as a blook!). This blog was started in early 2006 with the express intention of leaving some documentation of "who and what" I am/was to my children and grandchildren.

I was thrilled to find out that my memoirs were of interest to many other bloggers, and especially to those I have listed in my "blogrolls," which is really a list of all the new friends I made while engaged in this project.

With that said, I want everyone to know that you should feel no obligation to buy the new "self-published" book. After all, you have been privy to the posts as they happened! Therefore, please do not get the impression I am pushing this off on you. (Shhhhh, maybe folks just now arriving will be interested!)

The "proof copy" in hard cover, arrived a few days ago and I was thrilled with everything but the back cover. I have made some revisions, added a few more chapters, and I have admit the two (including Cross+Hairs) look pretty good sitting here on my desk!

Inside the latest, you will find over 113,000 words, 311 pages, made up of over 124 chapters, most of which were posted here.

Anyway, I wanted you all to know!

Thanks for your faithful following here!

Love you all...meant it!

CROSS+HAIRS

Download $3.13 (869 KB) Paperback book $16.80 (869 kb) Description: Henry Maddux fought off his evil thoughts and urges as long as he could. He suffered physical abuse from his step-father, the taunting and teasing of school mates, a broken heart from one he thought understood and cared, the horrors of Vietnam as only a sniper could experience it, and the everyday greed around him. Finally when everyone, everything, and even God seemed against him, he could no longer control the voices. He had to cross out the evil doers and put his mind to rest. He crossed them out with the "X" of his scoped high-powered rifle.

CROSS+HAIRS

CROSS+HAIRS, CROSS-HAIRS, CROSSHAIRS, cross hairs, cross+hairs, cross-hairs, no matter how you spell it...Google should pick it up and offer it to any researcher!


Cross+Hairs is a book, or a blook, written from a real meeting with a sniper at Da Nang, South Vietnam in 1966. Some of the events in the story are based on true occurrences in my life, however, I was never a sniper, a civilian policeman, but I was a Security Policeman in the Air Force, and did work in hardware store as a teenager.


I used to be an avid deer hunter, and spent a lot of time in the woods alone.
