"Bill's passion to save lives comes across in these short stories." "'Drunk Blonde Stalking' is both funny and scary at the same time." "His story about meeting the self-appointed God in his back seat was strangely weird." "The first story, 'Girl on a Rock', sets the tone of his book immediately."Come ride along and enjoy great glimpses into the nighttime in the Valley of the Sun.Bill is working on his second book with even more crazy chronicles of driving drunks safely home.

If you're a fan of Mark Twain's dry wit, oft-hidden humor, and tales of a bygone era on the Mississippi, then you'll love The Desert Rat Scrapbook. Imagine Mark Twain stuck in the desert with no riverboat and a bunch of crusty cowboys instead of river rats.The Desert Rat Scrapbook was first published in 1946 by Harry Oliver, a lifelong desert rat, Oscar nominated artist, and humorist. It's a collection of humor fact, and tall tales collected from the lives of him and others in the southwestern United States. Oliver eventually handed the reigns over to Bill Powers, who published the final issues.In it's hey-day the paper was mailed all over the United States and several foreign countries. Although the volumes have been collected piecemeal in print over the years, they're rare to find. Desert Historian Bill Oakes managed to compile an entire collection and digitize them for posterity. Without his assistance, it's likely many of these issues would have never been seen again.SINGLE ISSUE NOTICE- This is a single issue of The Desert Rat Scrapbook. Others are currently being worked on for publication as well. If you enjoy them, keep your eyes peeled for future ones. Eventually a compendium of all the issues will be made available.Editor Bio- Dr. David Powers is an adventurer, philosopher, and pioneer and lives a life of constant experimentation.
