Mike, what's the status on the D.D. Adams book?

[mookyj]

I had a major snag with Jim M, after he provided source materials. 400+ pics and giving full permission to use, decided this past fall that after I went through 120 manhours making the pics look worthy for the book (major editing to make them presentable) he might give permission, and essentially retracting permissions to use his stuff. He owns the copyright of the notes and pics he took.  Post-editing turned out great, but legally I cannot do anything with them without violating copyright. I have over a hundred pics that I took, and from DD's family, but now,  there are some gaps in the calls I need to recapture, solve logistics, and take pics of them.

It has taken a very long time due to many life changes and the size of the project.  It's been a long road and a bit disconcerting that after being asked to do this by Jim and Roger, Jim yanked the rug out from underneath, and as I understand things, he has changed a great deal. I never had the privilege of meeting DD as he passed a decade before I started turkey hunting. After all that I have learned from the project, I wish that I could have met him. Currently looking at 320-330 pages in 7x10 format once I fill in the gaps. The book was close to 480-500 pages in 7x10 format. All this time since has been trying to edit out Jim's contribution in the interviews as he is no longer a part of the project. This has caused me to delete a lot of transcribed interviews. I am not sure how much I can salvage and have it make sense.

Keep in mind I was asked to do this project, and was not paid anything upfront as a commissioned project. If anything I have a lot of hours, and money tied up in interviews, websites, etc. I damn near walked away from it this fall. Out of respect for Roger and as a major reason for doing it, it is still moving forward. I still need to make another visit to see Roger and we need to retake photos of calls as I cannot use pics I had before Jim decided what he did.

  Is this new Book on Amazon?
   I have a original D.D. ADAMS SUPER SLATE + HICKORY STRIKER. Looks like a Personal sign and not a Stamp on the Striker.
    Fellow Author,I will look for your Book on Amazon.

Yes, it is, next in line is DD Adams, and then Empire Limbhangers. Tales for the Roost is third although it might come out 2nd depending on how wrapping up interviews go for the records book, that is all that is left to do on that one. Random Musings 3 will come out the end of summer or fall.
