Hey, I'm famous!

Post by Oregoon »

Hey Slicksters!

Aside from my day (and night) job as a regional trucker here in the Pacific Northwest, I am also somewhat of a freelance writer... Evidently, I don't want to get rich... Anyway, last summer I came extremely close to buying the farm in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. I wrote an essay about the experience and BULL: Men's Fiction published it yesterday.

Click on the link and give it a read? I'm proud of this one! Also, keep an eye on BULL: It's an excellent publication.
