Author Frederic Harrop reveals life in the trucking industry
Australia (PRWEB) March 13, 2014 -- Author Frederic Harrop debuts with his publication, “10-4 and I’m Gone.” This book is about his life and the things he has done, seen and been. It is not a book about self-learning or how to become rich or famous, although he considers himself to be very rich in life experiences because of all the wonderful people he met on the way. His story is a legacy that he wishes to leave behind for the generations to come.
The author shares his experiences in the trucking industry, the freedom of going to different places and meeting people along the road. These experiences shaped the person he is now and added more color to the life he lives. It is his belief that when people are born, they do not have any idea what life has in store for them. His own journey took him around the world and pushed him to do things he thought he could not do. He learned to get out of his comfort zone and was prepared to have a change of lifestyle.
For Harrop, “10-4 and I’m Gone” is a book that so many need to write in order to share their life before it is all forgotten, to pass onto their children so the future generation know who they are, and to acknowledge all those people out there who have made their life richer. This is also the kind of book for those whom they love but never told when they should have.
It is not about sex or crime or killing. It is a motivating journey that one can relate to, letting readers experience the highs and lows of life while creating memories that are worth remembering.
