Customer Reviews

Thanks, folks

I'm glad you found "Taking Stock" an enjoyable read. It's a great collection, even though very, VERY few people have purchased it as yet - which means that, financially speaking, it was a labor of love for the writers, including yours truly.

Well Done Anthology

A tip of the cap to editor Monte Dutton and the group of writers who put this together.This is a quick easy-read with no "heavy lifting".I especially enjoyed reading about the defunct race tracks (Wilkesboro,Columbia) and what they meant to the drivers,owners,crews and fans.The stories about Adam Petty and Davey Allison are especially poignant.Lots of good stuff here.Well done gentlemen.
