Biker
Fiction
May 10th 2012
Hello. I would like to talk about two things that
are dear to my heart: reading, and riding motorcycles. In other words, Biker Fiction. Biker fiction is a little known genre where
the story revolves around people, riding motorcycles. It is usually a cross genre, it could be
romance, action adventure, thriller or any number of genres, but the central
theme is motorcycles. The Easy Rider
magazine has published Biker Fiction for years.
Wild Child Publishing publishes Biker Heaven and Black Rose Writing just
released my Biker Fiction novel, Thunder Road.
Thunder
Road is the exciting tale of, Mike McDonald, a Persian Gulf War vet, whom after
waking up from a coma, goes on the warpath against the outlaw motorcycle club
that brutally killed his wife and left him for dead. The final confrontation takes place at a
cabin at the end of a lonely mountain road, known as Thunder Road.
Teachers
often tell new writers to write what they know.
I have mixed feelings about this.
I believe you should write about what ever you want. If you don’t know anything about a subject,
and you want to write about it, there are three things I have to say: research,
research, research. That’s what the
internet is for. It just so happens that
I have a passion for motorcycles. For
the past ten years, I have immersed myself in the biker culture, but I also
like other things. I read science
fiction, action, thrillers, horror, Westerns, you name it. If it’s a good story, I’m going along for the
ride. My writing is a mixture of these
things. My science fiction novel, Tale
Spinner is available on Amazon.com, along with my short story collection,
Monroe’s Paranormal Investigations and my new release, Thunder Road.
In
celebration of Thunder Road, I am giving the first installment of my Cave Man
action adventure series, Biker Heaven away for free. Why would I do this? Because I think that if you read the first
story, you’ll want to read the rest. You can get it at Smashwords.com or Amazon.com. Here's the link to Amazon.
Biker Heaven
I am also offering the latest installment, The Woolly Boys for free at Smashwords.com until June 10th. Just go to Smashwords and enter the following code: RW45Q. Here's the link.

Enough
about books. Let’s get back to
motorcycles. I ride a 2008 Harley
Davidson Road glide and I also have a 2002 Triumph Bonneville America. I love putting my face in the wind with my
bros and rolling down the highway. What
I would like to know is about you. Do
you like to ride motorcycles? If so what
type of bike do you ride, or are you a passenger only? If you don’t like motorcycles, what are you
passionate about? What is the one thing
that makes you happy? Leave a comment
and let me know. If you'd like to contact me directly, shoot me an email. You can contact me at davidhdonaghe@yahoo.com As always, until next
time, I’ll keep reading, writing and riding my motorcycle.
