A Sneak Peak at Motorcycle Dream Garages

The people at DreamGarages.com have a short excerpt from the book up on the site. You'll get a sneak peak into John Hateley's garage. Hateley is also the topic of an upcoming feature article in Motorcyclist magazine in which John and some of his stunt man buddies tell stories about their work making feature films.

Publisher's Weekly Listing

As the countdown to the October 15th release date of Motorcycle Dream Garages draws near, the pre-publication activities have begun. Some of the most highly sought-after press coverage is in Publisher's Weekly, the trade magazine of the book industry. The magazine is highly respected, widely-read by booksellers as well as publishers, and costs nearly $200 per year for a subscription. Motorcycle Dream Garages was mentioned in the fall book preview done for the June 29th issue:

"Motorcycle Dream Garages (Oct., $35) by Lee Klancher opens the doors to places where bikes are repaired and friendships are made of beer, b.s. and bruised knuckles."

I believe I owe the book's publicist, Nichole, one of my favorite malt beverages for using the entirely appropriate beer & B.S. line!

Cheers,
Lee

Time to book launch: 96 days, 11 hours, 21 minutes.
