Product Description Infidelity with heart & fidelity! "Harry & Ivory" is the unique story of an enthusiastic, white, family man and well-paid boat mechanic who becomes obsessed with black girls while never faltering in the love for his wife and children. Harry Schaffner's extra-marital desires come to a boil, however, when he becomes besotted with a young woman who would be considered strange for any race. About the Author John Aalborg, aka "Mo'hammer" -- no TV interviews, no book signings, no letters and pleas to book publishers. His book-length work, however, is anything but neutral or fugitive, and, like Elmore Leonard, "I leave out the parts readers would skip." A no-nonsense, truck-driving, diploma-free, card-carrying member of the working class, Aalborg's novels are hard-boiled page-turners. His girlfriend, Cheater, calls his ever-present notebooks "splurt books", but after the notes are pounded into the keyboard you can taste them. Aalborg has spent his life working jobs rich in personal experience. Three years living off the German black market (culminating in his being deported back to the USA); five years as a licensed locksmith in the City of Miami, where many of his less ethical assignments were for law enforcement. Five years as an EMT for a rural Florida hospital and ambulance crew. Many more years driving OTR (interstate) for long-haul trucking companies with winter respites from the road by working the graveyard shift at local fuel-stops on exits off I-10, where he packed a gun and took care of his own law enforcement. Aalborg has been published in NEWSWEEK, COSMOPOLITAN, and numerous trucking magazines. His "Axel McKay" radio plays were sponsored by Ford and Caterpillar, and aired coast-to-coast on the WLAC Nashville Network. In recent years he has been transcribing novels to disc, manuscripts hand-written on the road. The conversions completed so far include four mainstream novels and a collection of short stories. There is also a small book of meditations sure to uplift the depressed and piss off the proud. An on-going column -- "Don't Ask Us!" -- is published monthly in Trucker's Connection Magazine.
