UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

[TAB]

yeah, if you print out that PDF file.

Your local libary has a copy.  I can't beleave the prices people are asking for this book.  With that much profit to be made, I have no idea why its not being reprinted.

I found a PDF version, but I'm sure that can't be legal and I would really hate to read an 800 page novel on a computer screen. Is there a paperback?

You did? Where?

TAB, how did you get that pic of my girlfriend's bum for your Avatar? That was supposed to be private...

John Ross was interviewed on a website and this shows how good this book is;
 

What has been your proudest moment as a writer?

There were a number of good memories, such as getting my first four-figure check, seeing the pallets of bound copies of my novel at the publisher's warehouse, doing my first public book signing, and getting asked to address a discussion club for the first time.

However, these all pale compared to what happened when I listened to my voicemail messages one day and heard the following message:

[Agitated woman] "John Ross? Is this thing recording? I just thought you'd like to know that you and your goddamn book have ruined my honeymoon. Probably my marriage, too. I can't believe my-" [muffled sound, a second voice, faint, as if a hand is over the receiver, then the hand being pried off] "Give me that... you bastard, you haven't
even-" [more muffled noises, then a man's voice on the phone:

[Man] "Mr. Ross?"

[The woman, from several feet away] "It's his answering machine."

[Man] "Oh." [relieved] "Uh...Mr. Ross, this is, uh, well, never mind my name, but-"

[Woman in background, yelling] "His name's _________! [name deleted for privacy]

[Man] "Yeah, uh it's_________, that's right. Uh, Mr. Ross, I'm kind of on my honeymoon, and-"

[Woman, screaming now] "KIND OF on your honeymoon?" [muffled sound of hand covering receiver, alternating screaming and soothing tones, but I can't make out the words]

[Man] "Listen, I started reading your book on the plane 'cause it was a four hour flight, you know, and now I just can't put it down. And it's pretty long, you know, so I'm still not finished, and my wife, well, I haven't been paying enough attention to her, and-"

[Woman, screaming loud enough for me to hear even though the man quickly covers the mouthpiece again] "IT'S THE SECOND DAY OF OUR HONEYMOON AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN FUCKED ME YET!"

[Man] Um, I guess you heard that, Mr. Ross. Look, everything's going to be okay, I'm almost finished with it and I can't tell you how much I'm enj- GIVE ME THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!" [Sound of scuffle and phone being hung up].

I got a follow-up call a day later, where the husband assured me that everything was all right and his wife wasn't going to file for an annulment.

Actually John Ross continues his day job as an investment counselor. In addition to the book he wrote, he is an avid gun collector, was instrimental (SP?) in Missouri passing concealed carry, and teaches cc classes frequently (taught my class). His web site (johnross.net) explains why he hasn't written more. His class is very entertaining, and when he produces a S&W .500 revolver from concealment it is down right shocking (Thunderwear, I believe). He even designed a version of the S&W that he sells off of his site.

Excellent book. Made my innards twist a bit when I got the middle, but I still recommend it. Gave it to my father for Christmas last year.

We have read it several times and loved it all.

I am surprised that nobody mentioned all the trouble that JR had after UC was released.  Evidently the ATF/FBI were going around to bookstores and intimidating them into not carrying the book.  There were some other funny things that were going on as well, I just can't remember exactly what.

Even though my copy is worth that, it is going nowhere..

I guess its banned in Canada and will be seized at the border too!
If they can do that then when Tom and TT win in 2012 they should ban Bryant Adam's and Celine Dionne CDs....

I have nothing against Celine Dion's CD's but her PICTURES    EEEK !
She's aged about 100 years since Titanic.
