Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of the Treb Lincoln Novels by Bob Bitchin. Adventure at every turn! A small gray fishing boat loomed out of the heavy fog that surrounded the yacht, Rogue. The name could barely be read on the stern of the large boat through the fog. She was a William Garden designed ketch, well over 50 feet in length with her main mast sticking over 60 feet into the air and disappearing in the fog. She had graceful lines reminiscent of the sailing ships of old, with her clipper bow and canoe stern. Heavy black accent and boot stripes set off the stark white of her hull, with black sail covers keeping in touch with her pirate ancestry. Her raised poop deck was highly varnished, and she was a stately vessel as she sat calmly on her mooring. A small anchor light was visible at the top of her mast, and she was alone in the bay, looking as if she had sailed in from out of the past. What happens next will alter the lives of Treb Lincoln and his friends more than even he could believe! Content Warning: This book contains situations that readers may find uncomfortable, concerning, or triggering.

Download or read book DORF written by Bob Bitchin and published by FTW Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There never really was a Dorf. Or was there? What happens when a couple of dumb bikers buy an old bus, load it with every drug imaginable and head to South Dakota for the biker event known as Sturgis? The answer lies within. This is either a work of fiction or non-fiction. As this didn’t actually happen, it didn’t actually happen about mid-August, 1973. What I am trying to allude to is it never happened… and when it did, I wasn’t there, because if it were labeled as non-fiction a whole lot of people could be highly embarrassed (or worse!). Well, not a lot, because most of them are dead by now, or in jail, but just in case, and to keep from having what little I have left in life taken away from me by lawyers and other blood-suckers I guess I will just label it as FICTION! There, now no one can sue me for anything. But those of you who were there, you will know. You will also know when I stray from the facts. Ya gotta have a little poetic license, right? I mean, hell, if Tom Clancy can use the Royal Family and sitting Presidents in his “fiction” I guess I can use a bunch of degenerate bikers in mine, right?
