I have another blog called Gone Skateboarding. Anyways, I wrote four instructional books and then I was thinking, "man with all the skateboarders in the world which is close to 20 million, there are no skateboard fiction books." No there is one but it's by some 40 year old dude named Nick Hornby who has never skated in his life.
Anyways that got me to think that I should write a fiction book about a character who skateboards. I thought how I would use skateboard terminology and actual real trick names and locations. Publishers rejected me but finally I got that beast printed and now it's available in stores everywhere. This website is dedicated to promoting it, you can read excerpts and I am going to post the first three chapters on it one day at a time for you to read. Tell your friends about it and go buy the book. Just think that when your language arts teacher tells you to take out your book for silent reading, you can take one out that isn't written about some girl from Manhatten and how she wants to date the boy who is chauffeured in a limo to school. Read a skate book.
