Amazing Female #4

Precursor to Amazing Female Marathoners,
FLEET!
*

Since there are precious few pictures from the deep past, I've chosen this one of marathoner Linet 

Masai, 2011 10K champ, to give an idea of amazing female Fleet. She's the star of Book II.

Another model in my mind for Fleet is my grandson Derrick. His persistence and individuality seeped into Fleet in my vision.

Freebie AUDIOBOOK of MIZ, Time Tripping with Amazing Females.

p.s. There are 16 amazing females in the book.

It was the perfect place for using my old Mac Air - way better than my phone for what I do. I always got home before Mom on any afternoon there wasn’t spring training.

Early Adopter Proves the Sale One of my first buyers - and old pal in Dallas - sent me this to "prove" he had actually bought a copy! This guy is an actual electrical engineer (the hero in the book is an e.e.) His name (used with his permission) is in the last 2 chapters. He's a lion of a guy. sd p.s. I've had a drink or two mixed on that very bar.

"Time Tripping with Amazing Females" means?

Why "Time Tripping?" Why "Amazing Females?" I thought "time tripping" would tell a browser (human) that the book is science fiction. It's not all that sci-fi-ish, certainly not when compared to the "hard" sci-fi in Olde Scooter's first, A Reluctant God .                                                                                                       Still, time travel is time travel, no? Then as I was contemplating a title, it occurred to me that most of the leading characters were females, other than the protagonist. I hadn't planned it that way. I decided to write a prehistoric adventure book and all these ladies just showed up. In some ways I think of MIZ as a sort of Connecticut Yankee in King Arther's Court ...
