ROLLING THUNDER Series Roaring Back by Don Keith
Saturday, July 26, 2014
Rated "G" by the Author.
The highly popular ROLLING THUNDER STOCKCAR RACING SERIES novels are now available in all e-reader formats.
The very popular ROLLING THUNDER STOCKCAR RACING SERIES novels have now been released as e-books for all types of digital devices.Each of the books was well received, both by readers and critics, when originally released in paperback by Tor Books and as audio books by DH Audio.However, until now they have not been available in digital formats.
While written on an adult level, this series of exciting books by award-winning and best-selling author Don Keith and NASCAR expert Kent Wright are perfectly suitable for younger readers. It is not necessary to read the books in any particular order either. Each work stands on its own. The stories are based on real characters and actual events in the history of racing, from the whiskey-hauling days in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina to the slick, new speedways of today. Many of the actual, real-life legends of the sport make "appearances" in the books.
The authors have tried to place readers right there in the cockpit of a 700-horsepower racecar! Peter Golenbock, the co-editor of THE STOCKCAR RACING ENCYCLOPEDIA, says, "The ROLLING THUNDER novels do exactly what they promise to do: put the reader in the pits, behind the scenes, in the cockpit of a racecar, but they also give a compelling look at the personal side of big-time racing. Mostly, though, they are simply great stories about truly interesting people.”
In addition, the books earned high praise from teachers and librarians because they encouraged many younger readers who would not usually be interested in reading to explore these novels.

Ron, thanks for the comments. There are so many sites similar to Authors Den and keeping track of what their nomenclature is can be daunting. I first posted the article in the "Story" section in response to an email from the site. Then I questioned whether that was the right place for it or not and put it into the "News" section.
Also, I did not post an excerpt since Amazon.com has a lengthy sample in their "Look Inside the Book" feature, not only for this first in the eight-book series but for all the rest of the titles as well...each linked from the URL in the article.
I still enjoy following NASCAR, but some of the newer tracks are just boring! I still enjoy Talladega, Daytona, and Bristol. I, too, like Matt Kenseth as well as some of the other younger drivers who exhibit the same tenacity we tried to instill in our main characters in the Rolling Thunder series.
I just opened your story in the Story section. I read as many stories there as I can and comment on them. However, all I found was promotional material for your series. No story. You could have at least provided a chapter so that I could see how you write and see whether or not your book is worth reading. Use the Book section or News section to promote your books.
My brother and I were fortunate to be able to buy a 1935 Ford three window coupe with a Cadillac engine for $100 many years ago. We went to stock car races as a kid, and I have continued to be interested in stock car racing, while my brother has turned touring and sports cars. I am currently watching Matt Kenseth but enjoy all the drivers and their effort to excel at driving.
