K. L.,

Is the book out already? And is "End of the Line" the title we should look for at the local Barnes and Noble, et al, or is/was that just a working title? And what is the cover price? Thanks.

Dave:

Book released end of November if not a little before. You can pre order at Amazon.com with a price of 14.93. If you click through my website to get to Amazon I get another 4%.

Simon and Schuster is the distributer and they have national reach for Barnes and Noble et al. Problem is that the print run is such that there might only be one or two copies at each Barnes and Noble so your best bet is always Amazon.

Thanks for the interest

You certainly stuck to your guns and believe in what you've done. Doubt that I could make that leap but everyone's situation is different and you must have enough resources to make that leap. Best wishes to you.

Just finished the book.  It's quite good and worthy of a read.  I liken it as a cross between "Da Vinici Code," a "Tom Clancey" novel, and "Silver Streak." 

It's definitely a fun summer read.

I'm not sure.  However, I can't get to his website "www.railtale.com" for some reason.  It seems to have been taken offline?  I sent the author an email inquiring about it.
