Title: HIGHSIDE! ordering info at last!
Post by: K3 Chris Onwiler on September 17, 2005, 01:16:55 PM
My motorcycle roadracing novel, HIGHSIDE! is about to be released.  The official release date is October 31st, but the publisher is taking preorders.  Apparently, the book will normally retail for $21.95. but the preorder price is $18.95.  The books will shipp straight off the press, so for all the people who have been anxiously waiting for a copy, here's your chance to be at the front of the line!

HIGHSIDE! can be ordered online at www.publishamerica.com/books/10805

Thanks!
"K3" Chris Onwiler

Ralph...  What's up with that?!?  

Valentino, Miguel, Sete...  All good... But Ralph?  I'll pick it up, but I'm gonna be pissed if Potsie isn't the pit-b1tch, and the Fonz isn't the team captain..

The novel may be fiction, but Ralph is surely my alter ego.
And Ralph is my middle name.... 8)

That makes sense...

See, if I'd have done that, people would be pointing and lauging at Ortega for the mid-pack finishes...  

(middle name is daniel for those who haven't had coffee yet)

Oh, you will recognize almost every character by their thinnly veiled pseudonyms. I'm surprised the protagonist's name isn't Chip Lowrider.  :o :o :o ;D

Yay!  I just ordered my copy and will submit the order info to our Collection Development Librarian, too.  

Let me just slip something in here...

I'll need to read this in the next 8 months as I won't have much reading time after the baby arrives in May!   :D

Congratulations!

But don't worry, you won't be able to put the book down, so set aside time to read it in one sitting.  ;D

Sweet! Congrats Heather and Stumpy! I guess that numbness didn't really affect that much after all!

God, please let the baby come out like Heather. God knows we don't need a little Stumpy running around!!!

Thanks guys!  

It's pretty weird, this whole pregnancy thing.  Come to find out, I was pregnant while at BHF in August so the baby already has race fuel in it's system.  

Sorry Edgar.  Obviously we don't know yet, but my hunch is boy.  I'm due May 15 so we won't have to miss the AMA round at Road America!!!  Girl or Boy, with our genes, that kid's going to like bikes!!!

And no.  The numbness didn't matter after all!   ;)
