Story Published
Hey kids I had a story published over at a hitch-hiking website. Do me a favor and give it a read! If you like it please give it a rating! If it does well it might make it into their next book, which would be super rad.

Thanks!

there was a serial killer in Australia who murdered seven backpackers who hitched a ride with him... this went on over a few years when i was growing up, in the state i live in and he was in jail in the town i went to high school in... so yeah I'm pretty much turned off hitch hiking for life! In Europe it took me awhile to understand that in some countries it really is ok to do! Still not for me though...
and Jake I like that story

^Was that the dude the movie 'Wolf Creek' was loosely based on? That movie will make you think twice about hitching through the outback!!
