A Book For Truckies Written By A Truckie

OUT OF HOURS BULLY'S TRUCKSTOP BAR (INTERACTIVE)
1

Some of you know Mo’Hammer (John Aalborg) from his posts here and his regular column in trucking magazines. Did you know he also writes novels? He has them available as Kindle eBook downloads and also one of them as a paperback. John started driving trucks in Germany in the late 1950s when he left the US Air Force and lived off the black economy there for a few years till they deported his ■■■ back to the States. He has driven everything with wheels since then and it shows in his writing.

You can read about his truck driving private detective hero, Bull Schaffner in ‘Gulf Coast Stories’ which is a great collection of short stories. Or you can read the epic truck driving, gun fighting, sleep with your hot sister story ‘Lowboy #22’ http://www.amazon.com/Lowboy-22-Murder-Romance-ebook/dp/B003A02NP2/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1328169050&sr=1-1For me though, the best of the lot is the prequel to Lowboy #22,‘Harry And Ivory’ http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Ivory-Love-Story-Beyond/dp/1468188372/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1328168754&sr=8-12. This focuses on Bull’s father, Harry, and his dysfunctional family life and love for a black woman half his age, Ivory. Set in Florida there is a lot in this book that gets the head nodding. Say no more.

I only drove a semi-trailer the once, a Mack low loader tank transporter when I was in the Army and a mate at the School Of Trucks let me have a go one lunch time in the safe driving area. That whetted my appetite but it wasn’t until 30 years later that I read ‘Lowboy #22’ and I really wanted to drive a rig down the interstate, that’s how real the writing is. I doubt anyone who hasn’t driven a lot of miles in real trucks could fake that.

You talkin’ about me? Thanks for the plug, Br’er Bear. My books I wrote mostly on the road. Then I had to friggin TYPE them when i got my first laptop plugged into the cigarette lighter ■■■■■■■■. :stuck_out_tongue:

We have trucker forums in the USA but they are boring (to be kind). This is the only forum I belong to now and I feel ashamed :blush: I don’t participate much. Not witty enough, and I can’t get my stuff about my trucking experiences done while looking through all these great posts by real drivers. Different world, trucking is, where the rest of the English speaking drivers are. Totally more interesting.

PS: I have a DVD sitting here which will play on computers across the pond. “Destination Doha”. Free to whoever asks first. I can afford the postage, too, if I can mail it before the US dollar becomes history.

May Lady Luck (a redhead - I’ve seen her) lay a free tankful of fuel on everyone who reads this.

I copied your address and will send the DVD “post haste”. (I think that expression goes back to horse & buggy days). I’ll LYK you again when it is on the way. The US postal service is on the decline, and methinks we could use some “royal” in our mail over here right now.

Be kind to pretty girls. They will all get old and die eventually. :smiling_imp: Not their fault.
