This is my 21st book of my writing career which was written during the Covid 19 lock downs. I also have a different style of writing then most famous authors who write "drafts" then have editors-proofreaders correct everything. My style of writing is called "one shot from head to paper with nothing changed". The stories for this book are based on the years 1994 through to 2018. By 2018 I had figured out there was no money in mineral exploration in Northern Manitoba, but I did get a few good stories for my book. I tell in my book how the insider people who own the stocks on the stock market seem to make all the money but never us people who live and work where these mineral claims are located. I lost a lot of money on promises and more promises about being paid for my work or items involved. In 1994 I was young and believed everything and anything about mining in Manitoba that would create jobs for us all. By 2018, I was older and smarter and seen through all the dealings of these companies that just want to spend as little money as they can to increase the stock values. The insider shareholders make all the money and enjoy the good live while us local people get the short end of the stick. Oh well, now I hope that the book sales will cover the money I was never paid. thansk
