Until then, Happy Trails! BOOKS ARE GOING FAST AND FARIt's official, RIDERS ON THE

response to the book? Couldn't be better. Those that have read it
agree that it's a funny, emotional, and heartwarming read. It's also an
international hit. We've sold books to Britain, Ireland, Canada, and more!
We thank all that have bought a copy of the book for your generous support and
welcome you to the Eye Reckon family. There are still books left in our
first run of 1000. You can purchase the book in Bandera at The Trading

Freedom Ride has participated in two parades here in Bandera in the last month -
the Veteran's Day Parade on November 12th and the Christmas Parade on December
2nd. Crystal and Reckon proudly wore their Calgary Stampede serapes, as they
always do when we're in parade form. Crystal and Scooter (our friend Bill
Greer's adorable young quarter horse) even wore Christmas bows on their saddles
and in their manes. Surf on over to our PHOTOGRAPHS page to see pictures! TAKING THE SHOW ON THE ROADIt's going to be
a busy few months as we begin the big job of promoting RIDERS ON THE STORM.
We'll be hitting the road - all the way up to Canada with the book, and if you'd
like us to stop in your city for a book signing, please contact us by phone or
e-mail and we'll try to work you into the schedule. RIDERS ON THE STORM RIDES INTO BANDERARIDERS ON THE STORM - The True Story of The Eye Reckon Freedom Ride went
on sale at the Trading Post (303 Main Street, Bandera) on December 2nd.
Hoot and Mary did a book signing and will be doing another at the Frontier
Times Museum in Bandera on December 8, from 4 - 6 p.m. A percentage of
the book will be donated back to the museum and a basket with a book, an
embroidered shirt, T-shirt and other goodies will be auctioned off to
benefit the museum.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWe receive many e-mails every
week asking us questions about the ride. It is impossible to answer every
one of these requests personally. So we've made a website FAQ (Frequently
Asked Questions). Feel free to continue to e-mail us (eyereckonride@aol.com) with new
questions and we will attempt to post them on the site. You'll find all
the answers you seek, right here. NEW PHOTOGRAPHSPhotographs have been a large part of telling the story of the EYE RECKON FREEDOM RIDE. We've displayed many photos on this site on our photographs page. We will continue to add photos to the page, but we've taken some down. You see, the book, RIDERS ON THE STORM, while not a picture book, does contain many photos of the ride. 93 to be exact. We will give samples of some of these photos on the site, but to see them all, you'll need to purchase the book to view them as they were meant to be viewed, with the story of the EYE RECKON FREEDOM RIDE. However, for your viewing pleasure today, we've got the FULL COVER of RIDERS ON THE STORM. The full color promo version that appears on the front of the website is going to be used for ads and post cards which will soon be available for sale on this site. The Blue and Black duotone version is the one that will appear on the cover of the actual book that you can buy, also on this website. Check it out and enjoy RIGHT HERE! 75 KIDS, A MULE AND LOTS OF HEATNow, we all know none of you are "waffling" on your decision to pick up a copy of the book (or perhaps, SEVERAL, copies of the book), but just in case there are a few of you wondering what's in store for you in RIDERS ON THE STORM, here's a sample chapter from the book that shares the laughter, the tears, and the adventure that is RIDERS ON THE STORM. Also, don't' forget our original sample chapter located HERE. RIDERS ON THE STORM!Well folks, the wait is nearly over. Scheduled for print by the end of this month, soon you will be able to own your own copy of Mary Allyce's RIDERS ON THE STORM: THE TRUE STORY OF THE EYE RECKON FREEDOM RIDE. Many many months of hard work by several dedicated individuals have gone into the production of this book. That's not even counting the trials and tribulations of the ride itself! Check back SOON to find out how to purchase the book through this website and own your very own copy of RIDERS ON THE STORM. ERFR UPDATESThe ERFR, under the direction of Hoot Gibson, has stayed busy and visible over the last year and a half since the historic ride to Canada. In addition to our return to Stampede in 2005, Hoot Gibson, Mary Schenk, and others have joined in support of other trail rides and pony express re-enactments, staying visible and active as the book was produced. They also are a highly visible presence in Bandera parades, the most recent of which was the Veteran's Day parade on November 12th, 2005. Their next appearance will be in the Christmas Parade in Bandera in the beginning of December. Check back soon for more about our organization. WELCOME BACK!Ok, so we
haven't updated the site in awhile. But we've got several GREAT excuses
here for you today. First of all, you can read above about the release of
the Eye Reckon book, RIDERS ON THE STORM. And if that's not enough, we've
even got another sample chapter, for FREE! We've added photographs to our
photo page including a full cover version of the book cover (included on the
front page of the site now) as well as the "duotone" blue and black version of
the cover that will be on the actual book. Also, for those of you with
questions about the ride, we've added an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to
help answer everything you want to know. So take a look around the site,
check out all the new things, and get ready for the big announcement coming
soon: the official release date of RIDERS ON THE STORM. With all this new
NEWS, we've created an ARCHIVES section that has
older news stories on it. Please click HERE to
view the archives. And as always, don't forget to sign our guestbook.
We will be sending out updates to our e-mail list of folks who have signed.
These updates will include updates on the site, as well as promotions, coupons,
and contests related to the ERFR and the upcoming RIDERS ON THE STORM. |
