P X Duke

Biography

Aviator. Motorcycle rider. Vagabond. Drifter. Trouble-maker. Jack of all trades and master of none. I've been riding and writing about the places I've been and the people I've seen for a few years now. Some of my writing is factual; some of it isn't. I'll leave it up to you to decide for yourself which lies are the truth.

Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
Jim Nash is off the reservation, in more ways than one. Maddie, his partner, has no idea where he is, and for good reason. If she found out, she’d kill him if she got the chance. He isn’t about to give her that chance—at least, not yet.

Jim's plan was to make a quick trip down the Baja, retrieve something stored away for a future life, and return. To improve his odds, he picked up an armored van and a go-fast panga. An underage teen-age stowaway isn’t improving his outlook. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need. Looking out for her is challenging his patience. He has a plan to bring her into line, though, and it includes a one-way plane ticket.

An uncontrollable teenager, an ex-wife's beautiful sister, a female autodefensa and a go-fast panga all figure in Jim Nash's next adventure, Mexico Time, coming soon.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I published a couple of shorts on my personal web site back in the late '90s. They weren't downloadable. All were text-based, sans covers. Readers had to peruse them live on the web. When self-publishing took off, I rewrote and re-edited several and published them for downloading. The fact that I could get what I thought were great covers from independent artists only enhanced my personal experience in self-publishing.
