Intriguing! June 26, 2018

This is an interesting read that combines conspiracies of the past with the world today full of its' own lies and cover-ups. The book has a bit of sexual content and is not for young readers, For everyone else it is a tangled, twisted look at Tom and Inez Hooker who are brother and half-sister and their link to the Kennedy assassination and what that means to them now when asked to commit a similar crime. The author takes an...Read More

After some problems in America, Corky Stuart is going to leave the country. Once he heads across the border he finds some things don't change no matter the local.

Life in the past was never easy especially for a half-breed November 2, 2017

This is a good read that is more of a genealogy of a family's past in the old west. It is a look a t prejudice and hatred, something that never seems to go away. Cynthia Ryland's family owns a ranch in Southern Arizona. When Chato, a Chiricahua Apache, saves Cynthia's life, the two end up as a couple and have a son they name Brian Chato Ryland.

Puts you right there with them. May 29, 2017

Both Boomer and Half-breed were superb stories. Fast paced, something new and surprising around each corner. Not enough about the care of the horses, but I'll hope they take care of their only transportation. Great reads, and there are so many similarities of the hearts of humans then as well as of today, just transportation and technology is different. Just good to know the Lord has got this.

This is basically a sales pitch for an ozone generator that the author sells. There is some info on the direct iv method of administering medical ozone and the ways in which the author, friends and acquaintances have benefited from the protocol.

Good story line, action abounds with two protagonists you grow to care for. But why oh why can't these offerings get read before they're published??

Mayhem, Romance and Debauchery in the Tropics March 2, 2015

I enjoyed "The Last Fruit Stand on Guam". Mr Hatting has quite an imagination, and the characters are fleshed out enough give the reader a feel for each individual. I like his short sentences, the way the action moves, the plot twists, and the very unique and interesting cast of characters. On a personal note, I've also spent time on Guam so many of the references were meaningful to me.

I've read another of the author's books, "Expat", and really enjoyed it (I could see it being made into an action/mystery movie.)
I'm now reading "Crystal Cowboy" and it too is a fun read. I'm looking forward to getting back to the book at bedtime when, with my iPad glowing in my darkened bedroom, I'll eagerly pick up where I left off. Thanks, Bob!!!Show Less

Love native American books I always look at the cover the cover of this book is puzzling. I know you can not judge a book by its cover. But it show a native American but the son who is a half breed looks black and is mother is white? Because the mother is white the son should be light .he is darker then his father. I am a logical person and see book covers in a logical way. To me the covers should represent what's in the book....Read More

A PAGE TURNER!!! December 30, 2014

I have read many of the authors books and I must say I enjoy the forth-right manner of his writing. He is real, down-to-earth with his stories and humor. "Tres Piedras" (three stones) will capture your imagination and make you wish you were on the boat and in Panama shaing and being a part of the life created by Robert Hatting.

Robert Hatting Satisfies...Again. December 3, 2014

In this contemporary novel, set in the world of rodeo, Robert Hatting takes the reader right into the stands and bucking chutes, providing a realistic behind the scenes look at the art of rodeo riding, as well as the politics of the sport.
As usual, Mr. Hatting drives the story along with his portrayals of a cast of colorful and somewhat eccentric characters who, in spite of their quirks, adhere to a code of honor and conduct....Read More

Average western September 6, 2014

I obviously didn't see this as others did. The actual story wasn't bad but the writing style made it hard to follow at times. Flipping from first to third person for several of the characters just didn't flow well for me. There was lots of action, some romance, good descriptions and the characters seemed realistic but it was not an exceptional story.

One in a row? Not hardly!

One in a row? Not hardly!
That’s how I am treated by what used to be my exclusive retailer. I have over 25 books listed on their site — all 4.5 stars or above. I get absolutely no support from them. None — zero — zip — Nada! In addition, they advertise other author’s books on my page. How crappy is that? To top it off, Amazon gives my work away for free. Yep. You read that correctly for free. My effort — my expenses to create a product — and they give it away for free.

NEW PLAN TO ELIMINATE THIEVES FROM MY LIFE. In weeks to come look for notices to LEARN ABOUT THE ALTERNATIVES TO amazon.com.

Years ago I began converting my novels to e-books using Amazon. I also used Barnes and Noble but back then one had to have a special device for each. I owned a Kindle so I opted out of B&N. I only had a half a dozen titles but I began making some money. I donated my royalties to an orphanage in David Panama. The monthly contribution kept growing as I added more titles and soon I was able to maintain my donation by halving the royalty deposit and augmenting my retirement income. All was well and good until Amazon got greedy. They forgot that it was their on-line book business that made them successful and decided to shaft the authors that were part of their foundation. Amazon implemented a program that benefited their company and the readership. If we authors would enroll our books in KDP select, we were entitled to huge promises of promotion — the only caveat was Amazon had to be the exclusive retailer. Most of us saw an opportunity and moved in that direction because we could use the extra sales. The problem was — the back side of this formula was the fact that Amazon offered the readers free books. We as authors never got any sales because most of our readers opted for the $10 a month and have hundreds of thousand of titles to choose from at no additional cost. The result was disastrous for authors like myself. Amazon told us we were getting paid by the page read. What a crock of BS that turned out to be. My royalties went to almost zero. The orphanage suffered, my income suffered and nothing was happening except Bozo the clown was getting filthy rich.
Here’s the latest from these clowns (thieves).

We will again award "KDP Select All-Stars" for July to the most-read authors and most-read titles in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. All bonuses will be awarded based on total Kindle Edition Normalized Pages read during the month. We will also award bonuses for illustrated kids’ books – the top 100 most read titles in the U.S. and top 25 in the U.K. will receive such bonuses.
This method is like Socialist hand-outs. Not like — exactly a socialist/communist formula. They choose who gets paid out of this magical fund that no one gets to audit. Typical promise and a prayer BS. Only those that advertise with Amazon get to be on the all-star list. None other.
Now you understand the reasons why my lead-in is so strong. I will do everything in can to help other authors to avoid the traps set my Amazon and their socialistic ways. AUTHORS NEED TO BE PAID or there will never be a balance in society.

It’s time for authors — even the one-in-a-row self publishers to avoid Amazon and look in other directions. Authors, here is the connections to your alternative. Draft to Digital (D2D) is my new choice. https://www.draft2digital.com/book/. Their motto is AUTHOR’S FIRST. Not only do they produce the book, they help distribute it to their retailing partners.
I only have 2 books on their site at this writing but will be uploading my entire title inventory by the end of this year.
In the meantime, go to my new website and order whichever of the 25+ titles you find interesting. https://publishingunbound.wixsite.com/roberthatting/books. You can always contact me directly via email. bobhatting@gmail.com

Alternative to FaceBook -- the Blog

Let's try this instead of FaceBook.

Some people know I write novels.
Here’s a problem I face every day.
One has to place a bit of priority to how you approach your day when keying in thirty or forty thousand words one character at a time. Any distraction will kill the flow of thought, the tempo of the story and if the distraction is strong enough, it will kill the creativity altogether.
Distractions come in many forms; traffic noises, the housekeeper’s kid, the television, or the neighbor’s loud music. Nothing is worse than my own FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!
My biggest distraction used to be my OZONE Business. Dealing with all facets of international laws, regulations, shipping, and actual assembly took copious amount of time. Since closing the business, I have more time and enough discipline to write several thousand words each day. Unfortunately, closing the business eliminated my income. Income that is needed to publish my books. Most don’t understand. It takes about Two-thousand USD to publish a book — not counting the printing costs.
So, I have a backlog of unpublished manuscripts:
COIN OF THE REALM Published last month.
PEPPER PYLE —Period Western
UNBROKEN — Contemporary Western
WILSON’S WAR — Contemporary Western
BROKEN BADGE — Period Western
KID MUSTANG — Period Western
SHANIKO SAM — Period Western
MOSTLY MOABLY — A/A Moably PH #1
SECOND VERSE — A/A Moably PH #2
COUNTERFEIT KATHOLIC — A/A Moably PH #3
WILLFUL IGNORANCE A/A Moably PH #4
RING OF FIRE A/A Moably PH #5
COTUN BAWLS A/A Moably PH #6
MIND YORE MANNERS — A/A Slug Manners # 1
WILDERNESS COWBOY A/A Slug Manners #2 Just finished.(4th rewrite)

Fifteen full novels are ready to enter the publishing process. The only manuscript that is in phase 3 — the editing process is WILSON’S WAR. All others except WILDERNESS COWBOY are residing in my hard drive waiting for funds to initiate the process. Any idea when I can find $30,000 to get these published?

Food from Scratch

DON'T BE LAZY -- PREPARE YOUR OWN!

I’m often asked — ‘why do you not eat in restaurant more often?’

The answer I usually use — it’s a health issue. That’s true but it goes way beyond health. It’s anti-aging. If you can limit the poisons you add to your body by breathing and ingestion, you will live longer. When you recognize the benefits of certain foods and combine them to repair your body’s natural immune system, reverse aging occurs.

So, in my household, we bake our own bread, we juice local tropical fruits, we make tea from ginger, lemon grass, and turmeric we grow in the pyramid herb garden, we roast our coffee, we ozonate our drinking water and we make our own sea salt. The sugar we use is either honey or muscavado (raspadura). We make our own coconut oil. And when we ozonate it — it becomes our miracle cure for most everything (from burns to ulcers).

We recently moved to another house in town and now I have my smoker installed and functioning properly. We are currently experimenting with making our own bacon, ham, and Cdn bacon. It’s turned out quite nicely; not only with taste but also the simplicity of production.

Here’s a synopsis of that process.

Homemade bacon and Cdn Bacon or any of our smoked products begins with the salt.

We make our own salt from seawater. The seawater is purified by ozonating a two gallon glass jar of the raw seawater for five (5) min. This kills all the bad organisms and lowers the radiation. Then water is cooked down to salt — basic clean sea salt.

The curing of bacon and Cdn bacon begins with the brine.(dry or wet) We use only our salt and muscavado (Raspadura in Central America) No chemicals allowed. The spice mix we put in the glaze is all natural as well as the coconut milk and pineapple juice. We juice our pineapple to get the juice — we squeeze the coconut milk from the shredded copra (this is also the way we make coconut oil)

The curing process takes 4-5 days. The smoking process takes 4-6 hours. Then like magic, the bacon and the Cdn bacon are finished.

Fish fillets, beef and chicken jerky take less time in the smoker. They are not cured but they are brined; usually for 24 hours. Smoking is usually on racks rather than on hooks and takes less time. All in all, the preservation aspect is good and the flavors are wonderful.

As an aside: we use a vacuum packer and then put our food products in the freezer or refer. Two things happen — if you lose power —no problem it will maintain its freshness for about 2 weeks. If you defrost and then change your mind, you can refreeze without creating any risk of food poisoning. With a vacuum sealed package it adds four times the ‘goodness’ life to ordinary frozen meats.
