A Book for Bill
Nearly ten months ago I sold the first copy of Braving the Storms.
Kyle Pratt and Bill Radtke on March 20, 2015 with a check for the unnamed third book.
That was before the book even had a name. I had gone to deliver copies of Through Many Fires and A Time to Endure to my friend, Bill Radtke. I told him he could have them, but he wanted to buy them. That was back on March 20, 2015. As we talked he asked me about the third book in the series.
I told him most of the book had been plotted and I had written about 15,000 words.
Kyle Pratt and Bill Radtke ten months later with Braving the Storms.
As Bill wrote the check for the first two books he said, “I’m going to add extra for the third book.”
I shook my head. “You don’t have to do that. I’ll make sure you get a copy when it is released.”
He insisted on paying me for the unnamed book right then.
I had the good sense to get a picture of him handing me that check and wrote about it here.
Today, almost ten months later, I’ve completed the 77,000 word, 258 page novel, and delivered his copy of the now named book. Bill, I hope you enjoy your copy of Braving the Storms.
