As I wait for book #4 in the Empyrean series to come out, I looked for something else in the fantasy genre. I found a series that I read when I was young (this book was published in 1977) and bought them on eBay. It took a minute to dig in, but once I did, I really enjoyed it.

I Ride For: Connie

II have been riding with Connie’s flag behind me for the better part of 3 months. I usually go for a week or 100 miles and then switch. I don’t really know why I have gone for so long. I think the primary reason was I did not know what to write. It must be a God nudge. He is either telling me Connie needs this flag now so get it done, or there is someone else who needs me to ride for them that I do not know of yet. Whatever the reason, now seems like the right time to finish Connie’s flag.
