Mosby 355 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hey fellas, As some of my friends on here know, I've been throwing a couple books together when I have the time away from work or family or what have you. I've kept them close to my chest to ensure no one beat me to the punch with my ideas. Now I feel like they're ready to be heard about. There has been a lot of talk on here wondering why no one has been writing simple, good hunting books about the hunting and little else. I got so tired of the complaining, I thought Id give it a go myself. I think everyone on here will enjoy both books. Though my pride is in the fiction I wrote about a young man and his favorite terrier. The story takes place in the 1960's when terrier work for the most part was allowed to be what it should be. If you like terriers, hounds, boxing and other manly pursuits not well enough enjoyed today, you'll enjoy this one. I'm really excited about this story as I put my soul into it. The other is a book about the dogs and the hunting done in my home turf, Oregon, United States of America. They say to write what you know, so I stuck to that. Though some of the men I have met both abroad and in the states could fill a book of information with their stories, this book sticks to the plain and simple aspects of working mongrel terriers on more types of game than is available almost anywhere else in the world. My only wish is that I could have gotten more first hand stories from fellas who hunt different game than I do. I am at the end of the process and hope to have them published by October. I hope to get some input from people here on cover designs and what not, once I have them. Thought I'd let you all in on the news. Take care 11 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,415 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 You told me about them last year Mosby and as there's a different angle to what's been written before they should go well for you and be hits. Best of luck with them. 1 Quote Link to post

ivebeen 176 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I've heard you were putting something together, and am stoked to hear that it's a reality and you plan on releasing the the public and such? You can count me in for a copy of both books. I wish we could have had more opportunities to work the dogs together. I'm currently in central Washington and sure would like to meet up with ya before I leave at the end of the month and get a little taste of the books and do some hunting together again possibly? I got a terrier, whippet and bulldog here ready to roll. Regardless, happy to hear about this and am excited to read what you've put together. Lord knows there is not enough GOOD dog books out there regarding these types, and even fewer authors. All the best Mosby Edited September 10, 2015 by ivebeen 1 Quote Link to post

Ruby Lakey 18 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Mosby Congratulations. I really mean that. Too often folks put off doing something that they dream(lack of better words) of. I had a friend ask me that just a couple days ago,why werent there more books on these dogs and working them. Im sure they will be great too because it will be from someone who walks the walk and not pretends to.Good luck uru Well said. Quote Link to post
