Surprised

I am a 65 yr old female who spent 28 yrs as a long haul truck driver (my father had 52 yrs before retiring in 97) I just started reading GOING WHERE IT’S DARK and the way you describe Mel (I’m as far as beginning chapter 9) and his experiences amazes me. I’m so used to author’s and Hollywood and shyster lawyer’s depicting our only purpose as being “RAPE, ROB, PILLAGE,MURDER” and it is EXTREMELY refreshing to have someone depict the truth “DO THE WORK WE LOVE AND OUR COUNTRY NEEDS TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILY”. For your kindness and truth about us I say THANK YOU and GOD BLESS

I’m so glad you’re liking the novel.   I’ve always been interested in different occupations–what they involve–the dangers and all the rest.  Mel is one of my favorite characters in the book.  Enjoy!
