We used to work together, that's all I'm going to say about that, however if you have a roll of quarters .... https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130311_172758.jpgKatherine's mother Keeping it all in the family is Katherine's mother taking her turn with my book. I can't say for sure but judging by the items in the foreground ( the double shot cup and the bag clip ) I guess that she likes to read like I do ... with a good drink and a good bag of chips what a way to go! https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130311_172859.jpgGrandfather and Grandson If there is one thing that makes me happier than when a reader sends in a photo of them reading my book that would be when they send a picture of the whole family reading my book. This is Katherine's father as he reads it with his grandson. My only question might be after looking at this photo is who's reading to whom. Makes me wonder if Tobias is reading to grandpa or is grandpa reading to Tobias... either way they both seem to be enjoying it! https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130308_221010.jpgAmir and book Amir is the next one in the Khalifa family to be reading TAV. Looks like the cat wants to have a go at it next. Nothing wrong with a family full of readers! I just wonder if the cat is going to wait until he's finished. Then again maybe he's cutting in on the cats time ... https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130304_201254.jpgTobias and book 1 Here is Katherines' son Tobias taking his turn reading The Traveler's Adventure's in Valdore. By the looks of it he's further along in it than his mommy. There's a chance that he just might finish reading it before she does. Halfway through and goin for another page! Although I was also told that f I don't hurry up he'll be in college before I get book 2 done ... let's hope not for my sake at least. https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130304_200752.jpgKatherine My very good friend Katherine finally finally sent a photo of her reading the book after telling me that she was going to for a loooong time. If she looks familiar it's because that's also her hugging my cousin a few pics up. She also tells me that she isn't finished with it yet ... I guess I can give her a break but I just hope that she finishes it before her son ...

Schmitty. Thanks bud, I hope that it didn't take up too much of your F/X Flight Sim. time. or is that what took you so long to send the picture? ... either way am glad you liked it and are looking forward to the next Adventure in Valdore! https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/truck-fire-024.jpgtruck fire 024Here is another photo from that same undisclosed location. All i can say is ... that right there is a well accessorized weapon if I ever did see one! Perhaps I could talk to the DOD and get them to add that to every weapon in the field ... it would come with TAV as a mandatory equipment update of course.https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/truck-fire-025.jpgtruck fire 025Today in my e-mail I received, from an undisclosed location, a photo of SGT William Bentley holding his copy of the Traveler's Adventures in Valdore and anxiously awaiting more. As of this posting he is stationed with his unit, nicknamed Honey Badgers of the Montana National Guard, in the wilds of Afghanistan. While I can't say for certain that reading the Traveler's Adventure's in Valdore (TAV) made him any better at his job BUT there is a rumor that the SGT is now as fast with his weapon as The Traveler is with his sword. How fast is that you ask ... You'll just have to read it for yourself to find out just how fast he is. Hurry home Sarge, ... can I get an OORAH!for the SGT and his Unit?https://wmstahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/251576_3882097283161_562878023_n.jpg251576_3882097283161_562878023_nA good friend will always share their favorite things.
