Book Description
A lone wolf biker is faced with an impossible dilemma when he witnesses the murder of a local, prominent political figure by a pair of assassins he knows are bikers. These cold, ruthless, serial killers are bikers that even "one-percenters" shun. John Trotter, aka Wolf, is an experienced, daily rider torn between his love of family, friends, and the freedom of the road. The biker code he lives by is challenged by his conscience to do the right thing. He calls on his biker brothers for assistance as other bikers start to die in mysterious accidents. The intensity is turned up when Wolf is forced on a long ride to hell and back. The characters, scenes, routes, and rallies are based on actual bikers, places, and events that took place when the author rode the story, minus the murders. The story was guided by coincidence, karma, and totems to the scenes described. Biker humor, chases, crashes, and tips are woven into the story. The characters are believable, everyday bikers from all walks of life, unlike the image frequently portrayed to the public. The journey Wolf and his biker brothers take is enriched by rides to rallies and locations across the southeastern U.S. taking routes frequented by bikers. The book can be used as a guide for rides to fully experience the story while exploring the area. Bikers and non-bikers alike will gain understanding of the call of freedom and its relationship to the motorcycle culture.

Book Description
Pastor's wife, Kirstie Donovan, lives life in a fishbowl, so when she hops on the back of a bright pink motorcycle, tongues start to wag at the conservative, century-old First Independent Christian Community Church of Eels Falls. Kirstie loves roaring down a road less traveled by most women over forty, but she's not just riding her bike for the fun of it. Kirstie has a ministry. However, certain church members have secrets to hide, and when God uses Kirstie's ministry to fill the pews with leather-clad, tattooed bikers, those secrets could be exposed... and some will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Join Kirstie and her motorcycle "gang"—two church matrons and a mouthy, gum-smacking non-church member—as they discover that road-toughened bikers are quite capable of ministering to others, and faith is fortified in the most unexpected ways.

Book Description
Inspired by a newspaper article, Marshall Madill had dreamed of riding a motorcycle to Alaska since the days of his youth. However, this dream consisted of a leisurely ride by day, taking in all the sites, and sleeping under the stars by night. In his mind, Marshall had always budgeted an entire month for this trip. And while Marshall and his wife Jan are avid motorcycle enthusiasts, he really never envisioned himself as an "Iron Butt" motorcyclist. An "Iron Butt" in the motorcycle world is someone who rides their motorcycle one thousand miles in a single twenty-four hour period. Marshall and Jan felt they were really being aggressive when they rode four hundred miles in a day. The one time they did seven hundred miles in a day, neither could hardly walk or sit down either one. They were in quite a predicament. Marshall had absolutely no desire nor intent to even attempt to ride his motorcycle one thousand miles in a day. Then one day, he discovered a handful of fellow motorcycle enthusiasts that he knew were avid "Iron Butt" participants. Being competitive by nature, his attitude about "Iron Butt" riding began to temper. Soon he was hearing about an "Iron Butt" event called "48 States Plus Alaska In 10 Days or Less". When Marshall heard it involved Alaska, his interest was immediately peaked. He spent the next fifteen months planning and preparing for this "Iron Butt" ride. He prepared physically. He prepared mentally. He studied and memorized the maps of the route, which would take him to every one of the 48 Contiguous United States of America and then on to Alaska. This route would cover over 8,600 miles in less than 10-days. Marshall would definitely need to be an "Iron Butt" in order to accomplish this goal. This is the story of how Marshall planned and prepared for the ride. It is the story of the life lessons Marshall learned throughout the planning, preparation, the ride itself, and even since the official trip was completed. It is the story of how God invited Himself along for the journey and it's the story of how Marshall was transformed from an "Iron Butt" to a "Melted Heart" by the special individuals that he encountered all along the journey. Come along Marshall relives and shares with you this adventure of a lifetime that changed his life forever.

Book Description
As I traveled across the prairie coming out of Socorro, New Mexico, the morning sun was just beginning to rise in the east. The powerful V-twin and the cool morning air made me feel so alive. It was at this moment that, as the sun lit the mountains with a purple glow to my left and a herd of antelope galloped across the plains to my right, that Ray Charles singing "America" came across my speakers. All I could do was pull over, sit there in quiet solitude, and look around as this song played and

Book Description
This story depicts a biker and his experiences of becoming involved with people in a small Oklahoma community in the mideighties. Set in a time before the custom-bike craze with its TV shows and celebrity riders, this tale tries to present real situations because they are based on things that either happened to me or around me (or I just made up a good lie). This man, injured in the Vietnam War, medically discharged, having to relearn to walk and being labeled an outsider upon his return, becomes involved with a violent streetwise motorcycle gang and their drug- and alcohol-induced law-breaking ways. Becoming unhappy with the hard-core biker lifestyle he is living in California, he is miraculously freed from his club ties and takes on a new identity. With help from other helpful nonpatched bikers, bound only by their love of the freedom of the road, he works his way across the western states, doing heavy equipment work, winding up in the little town of Stigler, Oklahoma. There he meets various characters who make his life interesting. He befriends an old rancher with a secret and eventually goes to a bike rally near Wilburton, Oklahoma, where he meets and falls in love with a redhead who also has a biker-related past. Together, they forge a life involving motorcycles, a local bar and its denizens, fellow construction workers, the local law, run-ins with a former gang member, and help to make an old man’s dreams come true.
