The revised Runner's Moon is now available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and soon on Kobo too! And, what's more, the revised version is available on Lulu.com and the Spearfish Lake Tales Store, as well as having been posted on the web page. Although the story hasn't changed a great deal, there have been extensive revisions.

Links to all of outside vendors are available on the Spearfish Lake Tales Store Page.

The information on the story goes: Two kids, a dream, and acres of dogs . . . Josh and Tiffany want to become dogsled racers. They just have to grow up first � and learn about what they�re doing along the way.

Runner's Moon is a follow-on to Busted Axle Road, focusing on Josh and Tiffany�s adventures. It's not necessary to have read Busted Axle Road first.

This completes the revisions of the oldest books, a project that's seriously been under way for about three years. These were first posted without outside editing, and you can sure see the difference in the revised versions! The re-edit project will now turn to some newer books. The Homestanders should be along pretty soon, and River Rat after that. Several others are in the works, but since they had outside editing assistance, the changes aren't as extensive.

Hi Wes
Have just been re-reading Busted Axle Road and Runner's Moon, almost enjoyed them more than the first time! One little niggle in the former, that you might like to correct (I know, you've just finished re-edits, so I'm a real PITA.)
Chapter 14: Josh and Amy are doing CPR on Ed, and the crew arrive, and set out to use the defibrillator. I'm hospital trained in CPR, and to the best of my knowledge when applying the shock to re-start the heart (or stop arrhythmia), everyone needs to "stand clear" so Josh should/would not be feeling Ed's body buck under him. See here for reference: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Defibrillator
Not a standard edit problem I guess.

Cheers
Henry

I'm sure you're right on that and other people have drawn it to my attention. The funny thing about it is that when I first wrote that scene -- a long time ago, close to twenty years -- I had a paramedic go over it to check how correct I was. I don't remember him saying anything about standing clear. What can you say but "oh, well . . ."

Thanks for pointing it out!
