    Raanngadd liked an update for The Birds Road

    Hello All,

    Some of you have been asking about the title of my book, so, I’ll tell you of its origin.

    When I was a boy, living in Martinsville, my dad took my brothers and I outside to show us the stars. He pointed to various constellations and independent lights while noting their names. He pointed to Orion and regretted not being able to see the Milky Way, but explained that it was the center of our galaxy and that it rested on Orion’s right shoulder. 
    I still hold that memory quite dearly.

    The Milky Way is generally hidden by light pollution unless you’re in places that are still pure. The first time I saw our galaxy was through night vision goggles at Fort Benning, GA.
     I was struck by seeing what my father had described. Forty some years passed between standing in the yard with my dad to this point. 

    Fragments of science, history, and spiritualism managed to remain in my mind through the decades. Since I’ve settled, I’ve garnered an interest in the original religion, which is astronomy, as well as anthropology, and archaeology. 
    The Milky Way was, and still is, a venerated stellar object in cultures all over the world. It’s been given every name imaginable and is often tied with mythologies concerning the passage of souls to another place.

    The stronger side of my genetic makeup hails from northern Europe. In those old dark forests the Milky way is called The Birds Road.
    Tie my childhood star-gazing memory to the passage of my family, add a bit of mythology and science, and you have the title of my book.

    Food for thought: Physics tells us that we are made of the same material as stars and also, at some point, everything that we are and see we will return to the black hole that stirs at the center of our galaxy.

    I’ve added content to Chapter 1. and have added content to the following chapter.

    If you like my story, please share this link with those that you know.

    Thank you for your support!

      Hello All,

      I would like to thank www.indianapolissignworks.com for rapidly printing and assembling promotional items for me. Also, many thanks to www.missionuprising.com for allowing me to share my story and plug this venture.

      I spent Saturday and Sunday with Mission Uprising at Spring Hill Camp for their annual Father Son Camp. I had the opportunity to promote The Birds Road and also offered a flintlock rifle demonstration. It was great being in the woods again with the people who encouraged me to begin sharing my experiences. 

      As many of you know, I make things. Some of these things are pretty cool. So, in an effort so sell pre-orders, I am starting a contest this week.

      Whoever is connected to the most pre-orders (I can see who you are) over the next four weeks will receive one of my hand-stitched leather bags. These bags generally sell for $400. Examples of these bags can viewed on my website www.sharekgadd.com . So, go take a look at my wares, and get an idea of what type you would like to receive.

      Once again, thank you for your support,
