Ok, this is just a little bit… surreal I think… I’ve been looking at the image of the cover for the book for a while, first in my imagination, then finally as I created it for the book. Then I printed the image out a few times to practice wrapping it around another book, just to see it. Well, as I’m typing this, I look over, and next to my mouse is one of the books. Its real! Its like, OH, My God, its really there, sitting there. Ok, I know, to most of you, that just sounds totally weird, like a big ego trip or something. Get back to me when you write your book, and tell me how it feels ok?

Oh, and by the way, it sounds trite, but its so true. If I can do this, any of you reading this can do it too. I’d love to read your story. If you’d like some info on how to do this, email me or something ok? I have a contact page and form and stuff on my main website, go there and drop me a line ok?

While looking for some photos of H-46 Helos, I found this website. Go take a look.

Especially interesting to me are some of the crash damaged helos, from a purely technical point of view!
