    My Son Kyle Tobin has published his first Book!!!

    Hey Guys,

    My son Kyle Tobin, yup the same one that you guys have seen with me shooting photography at many events, has self-published his first book!

    It is an action-adventure thriller with a sci-fi slant and a very good story with good character development. It is currently available as an ebook from both www.smashwords.com and www.amazon.com and the title is Staying Human. It will be available as a printed paperback soon through amazon.com as well. The ebook can be downloaded and read on just about any smartphone, tablet or reader.

    We set up a special coupon code for RDC members for 25% off when buying the ebook from smashwords.com making the book only $2.99 until the end of May. Just enter the coupon code PS73F at checkout for the discount, or you could buy it at full price and give the kid the extra $1. The coupon is only good at smashwords.com not amazon.com, so if you download it from amazon you'll have to pay the full price anyhow.


    The links to his book are shown below:

    Smashwords A book by Kyle Tobin
    Amazon.com: Staying Human eBook: Kyle Tobin: Kindle Store

    He also created the artwork for the cover. Darn kid is talented isn't he?!?!?!

    Of course I am a proud papa, but I really did enjoy reading the book and I think you guys will too. I read it in my phone in just a few days in spare time and it is not too long.

    Take care,
    Chris Tobin

    Re: My Son Kyle Tobin has published his first Book!!!

    Thanks!!! He has been shooting for and with me for close to 10 years now and has written 3 articles that were published in Diesel mags, but this is his first book! In fact he is ahead of me in book publishing 1 to none right now... But I am thinking about writing a diesel performance book combining all the stuff I have done with the magazines over the past few years into a book for diesel enthusiasts...

    Re: My Son Kyle Tobin has published his first Book!!!

    Thanks Dan! He just turned 20 in January, I was just a stereo installer at that age. He's had his photography published MANY times, written three articles in national magazines and now a book!!!! The kid is getting it done!!! He has also written a screenplay, but we don't know who to turn to toward getting it made into a movie... it is even off road related!!! Oh, to make even more of us jealous, he has also ridden with Robby Gordon!!!

    Re: My Son Kyle Tobin has published his first Book!!!

    Hey Guys,

    A quick update: The 138-page paperback copy of Staying Human by Kyle Tobin is now available on amazon.com!!!

    Here is the link...

    http://www.amazon.com/Staying-Human-...6490174&sr=8-2

    It is currently priced at only $7.99 for the paperback and the ebook copy is still only $3.99 on amazon.com or smashwords.com or $2.99 if you buy it at smashwords.com using the coupon code I posted earlier. You can also view/read the first couple chapters as a free preview.

    After you read it let me know what you think. Personally I enjoyed the book, and I'm not just saying that because Kyle is my kid, I really did genuinely enjoy reading the book. I can't wait to get my hands on the paperback copy, I gotta order mine today too!!!

    Thanks a lot guys,
    Chris

    To see/read the preview on amazon.com simply click on the book cover after you search it. Then it will open a window within the window to allow you to view the first few chapters of the book just like reading it on a kindle... Let me know what you guys think after reading it, even just the free part...

    So, have any of you guys had a chance to check out Kyle's book yet? It is getting decent reviews so far. But I want to see what the RDC family thinks. Let me know.

    Thanks,
