After weeks of working to correct spelling, grammar, and formatting errors, I have finally brought my latest novel to publication on Amazon. My new novel, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: The Blue Zoo Boogaloo is now ready for order from Amazon, in all three formats, Kindle, Paperback, and Hardback. You can find it by going to Amazon and searching for L. Logan Sharrar. This book is intended to be a tribute to my two best friends from my early years at the Academy. We were all just kids, and we went through a lot together. I tried to capture the sheer excitement of being a cadet in those dynamic and politically charged years of 1968 through 1972. After talking about how we met and some of the high points of our cadet years, I move into the present and our fictional efforts to save the Academy and our country from an unprecedented attack by a right-wing militia intent on capturing Colorado and making a free state for White Supremacy. We win in the end, but how we get there makes for a real adventure. In my stories the “Good Guys” always win, and they blow up or shoot a lot of bad guys to get there. If you are looking for humor, adventure, and excitement, then this might be the book for you. The book is dedicated to my good friend and buddy for more than 50 years, Lt Col Frank D. Pulis, who tragically died in May of this past year (2022). He was a good and loyal friend, and I will always remember the great times that we had together. The book is also meant to be a tribute to the USAF Academy Class of 1972, which celebrated their 50th Reunion this past September.
I truly enjoyed writing this book, which was a bit more of a challenge than normal, as I wrote it in the first person, which is harder than it sounds. I think that it is a good, fun story that I think most of you will enjoy. I plan to do three more books between now and the end of 2023. The first, will be my fifth Nigel Butler novel, entitled French Fried Butler. If you have enjoyed my other Butler novels, then you should really enjoy this one. Most of the action takes place in France during the course of a river cruise out of Bordeaux, France. Same mysterious bad guys as normal, the French Mafia and lots of bad guys getting their just rewards. Like they say – don’t piss off Nigel!
In addition to the Butler book, I hope to get out two other books – Trail Markers, a book of Quotations, Speeches, and Sayings that I have been collecting for the past 50 years. Little bit different than my normal projects, but I think that many people will enjoy it. My wife, Vicki, will be helping me produce that one. I also enjoyed, writing The Blue Zoo Boogaloo, so much, that I have decided to write a sequel entitled, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: Murder at the Base of the Ramp. This will have many of the same characters as Blue Zoo, but a lot of new ones also. It will also be more of a murder mystery, than just an adventure story.
So, a lot to look forward to, and I am pretty excited about it. Look for French Fried Butler at or about the end of the year. The other two to follow in 2023. If you read, and enjoy The Blue Zoo Boogaloo, then leave a comment on the Amazon page, so others will know that it is a good read. Special thanks to my friend and Academy Classmate, Rob Gocke, for reading an advanced copy of Blue Zoo and leaving some very nice and positive comments on my author’s page.
All for now. Take care. L. Logan Sharrar
