Hi everyone! I have not abandoned my blog. Quite the contrary, I have incorporated some of the entries in my soon-to-be-published book, “The Rogue’s Road To Retirement.” We are now in the final phase of publishing. The release date is 1/6/2015. The edits are complete, and we have received the printed manuscript and cover design.
What a process! Now the fun begins. The audio book folks have been in touch and have chosen a terrific actor to narrate it. I am enclosing a link to Skyhorse Publishing’s book description and a look at the book jacket, as well as a link to where you can buy the book on Amazon.
My daughter Jenny is helping me gear up with my agent and editor for the sales part of the process. Jenny has become quite the “stage daughter,” telling me to slim down and “stay on message.” My son-in-law, who is a great guy, is supporting me at every turn – and building me my own website! If anyone has an idea for readings and signings, please get in touch. Your suggestions will be much appreciated.
I’m working on another book in the meantime. This has been and continues to be a thrill at every turn.
Thanks to all of you for all of your help and support.
Best,
George “The Red Rogue”

Hi Mr. Rider,
Really great story about LCDR Kristensen! Having lived in the Boston area for 47 years I know all about Andover. I know live in Michigan, but my thoughts are ever with the Boston area. You and I stood bridge watches on the USS Abbot (DD629) in 1955 – 1957, I was a third class Ft then. Those were special days for me as I enjoyed my Navy time very much. I even remember the infamous 60 degree roll!
