Post by: x2468 on December 01, 2005, 06:47:34 PM
hey, i talked to you on the phone earlier today about buying your book and pay pal. well the pay pal didn't work (said my credit card number was invalid) so i used amazon and it worked. but i got 2 confirmation emails from your site. So i just want to make sure i dont get 3 Highsides in the mail (2 from you and 1 from amazon).

OK, I notified my business manager/wife.  She should be able to find you pretty easily, but one bit of info would help.  What was your name?
Hey, thanks for the sale.  I hope you really enjoy the book!

Hey, there is a picture on the cover. It should be titled "what he does best" since it is of Purk.

Nick, in Japan there are only two words that matter.  If you hear anyone yell "Tsunami" or "Godzilla", RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

First off I LOVED the book!  Matter of fact...

I gave the book to my dad to read and of course he claims he sees a flaw in some facts...I told him it was semi fiction and to not get caught up in specifics but he swears up and down he read in the book that BHFs was built in the early 70's but he remembers racing there in the late 60's  ::)

I thought that too, and that's how I originally wrote the book.  Then I was told that Blackhawk got built in 1971.  Who can say for sure?  The earliest pictures I have of my dad racing there are 1971, and he was racing tracks like Grattan, Meadowdale, and Road America before Blackhawk was built.  Oh well.  I guess I should just pull the book out of print.  When you have a historical innacuracy like that, the entire work is compromised.... ::)
Hey, here's a fun fact!  Cover Design misspelled Chris Jonnum's name on the back cover of the novel.  I just recently straightened that out with them, and got it fixed for future editions.  Since my publisher uses print-on-demand, future copies will have the correct spelling.  That means if you have a copy where it's spelled Johnuum, your book is from the desirable and collectable "First run, Jonnum misprint." ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) ::)
