Monday Metal

Tuesday Edition:

A line through the Desert, among other things, is about music.

Sgt. Jake Bloom is into hard rock, classic rock and metal. And he really, really loves Led Zeppelin. Favorite song: Over the Hills and Far Away. In fact OHFA is referenced in the opening paragraph.

Here are some other bands:

Bon Jovi
Jon Bon Jovi (Blaze of Glory)
Cinderella (Yes I know, but that is some good hard rock)
Def Leppard (Pyromania and Hysteria)
Journey (puts it on the tape deck when in the car with Patricia. Heh, tape deck).

73 Easting: A line Through the Desert

One of the gratifying things about our enrollment in the Kindle Unlimited program is the spike in readers of A Line through the Desert. That was our first novel, two years into which we dedicated every fiber of our being.

A Line through the Desert was a brutal flop. Six sales one month, four the next and then eight. Once we sold 23 copies in a month. Whohoo! After a year we sold our hundredth copy.

A Line through the Desert is about Jake Bloom, a trooper in the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. We see his life before enlisting, in Germany, and in Deseret Storm culminating with the Battle of 73 Easting, the last great tank battle of the 20th century.

As it happens today is the 27th anniversary of the Battle of 73 Easting.
