Once again, your author takes you under the ink of “Brave Men Run - A Novel of the Sovereign Era” as we explore episode six of the podcast edition!
First, as I did in the podcast itself, I’d like to ask everyone to help promote “Brave Men Run” by visiting the following sites:

Thanks for that. I’ll ask again in a few episodes, just to keep the idea fresh in your mind.
Now…
Chapter Eighteen:
– “We called it Anarchy Burger because of the twenty foot red “A” on the roof.”
This is based on an actual place called A’s Burgers in San Juan Capistrano, California. Imagine my surprise to discover that this little dive has some hits on the Web! Hardcore fans of “Brave Men Run” will want to head over there and re-create this scene. Remember, Nate had a triple cheeseburger!
– “Oh, like, Roger Moore, or Maxwell Smart.” Mel spoke through his nose: “Missed me by that much, Chief.” He popped a French fry in his mouth. “You’d be Maxwell Smart, my friend. It’s the hair.”
Roger Moore is the actor kids like Mel, Nate, and Lina would be most familiar with as James Bond.
Maxwell Smart, the goofball super-agent from Mel Brooks and Buck Henry’s sixties television series “Get Smart,” was played by Don Adams. Mel’s quoting one of the character’s signature lines.
Chapter Nineteen:
– “My mother was at the dining room table, working out of her briefcase.”
Lucille Charters is a realtor.
– “Mom. Why are you lying?”
One of the physiological symptoms of lying is increased perspiration, which Nate can smell.
– “He would spend weeks out at Rachel, in the desert…”
Lucy’s talking about Rachel, Lincoln County, Nevada, USA. Does this mean something?
– “It’s not unheard of for an infant to be born with a little tail, or hair on its body.”
Here’s an example of the tail. I couldn’t find a reference for infants born with a coat of fur… can anyone else help out there?
Chapter Twenty:
No real nifty behind-the-scenes stuff in this chapter… except to say that I’ve been in a fight circle like that, and I didn’t have anything near Nate’s composure!
Ah, sweet memories of youth!
