“I try to be as inconspicuous as possible. The yard does not like its people to stand out,” he explained.
“Oh, John,” she said as she flicked some snow from her wide-brimmed red hat that lay on top of her red cape on the fourth chair, “You know I’m just fooling with you.”
He leaned closer and asked, “So, why America? I dare say, they all seem to be in such a hurry all the time.”
“It’s just for the holidays, John.”
He fidgeted, “They say that Australia is the new place to take holiday.”
She leaned forward, “But they don’t have cowboys in Australia, silly.”
He sat back and shook his head. “It’s that Scottish fellow, isn’t it?”
She rolled her eyes and said, “Scott, Bill Scott and yes, he is a wonderful fellow who treats me like an equal.”

New E-book from Robert P. McAuley: SkyShip
Picture "Die Hard" in a Zeppelin! This high-action adventure takes place on the greatest zeppelin ever created: Sky Ship! This marvel of ultra-modern technology and luxuries has been taken over by terrorists set to unleash a terrible weapon on the U.S. with security man, Dan McKee and his wife the only persons who might stop them. High-action right from the very start!
The 1800 Club
The end is usually very apparent in a story, be it a book or movie. However in this case, though it is the end page-wise, it continues on in the 1800 Club. You see, The 1800 Club does exist in New York City, though, under a different name and address. I, Bill Scott, also exist as President and owner of the club, and the people I wrote of, all exist. Some of their names have been changed, as they do have a life outside of the club and they and the club must be protected.
By now you are thinking, “This is a put-on, there is no club that can travel in time.” But, I ask you to look around. Isn’t history the same as you read it in your history books? Believe me, the club is working to keep it so. You the reader may ask, “Why is he admitting this?” To that I answer, “Why not?” Sometimes the best place to hide something is right out in plain sight. So, while admitting the club exists, the secret is as safe as saying it doesn’t exist.
I intended to continue this narrative and tell you about some of the other missions the club has worked on, however, I have to interrupt this book at this point because I’ve just been alerted that there is a problem going on right now. I do intend to document it, and others as they occur, in the next book, ‘The 1800 Club. Book XI.’
