We had the extreme pleasure of talking to and riding around with local childrens' book author R.C. Bubblegum who is promoting his new book Rocket 69.
Originally written for the authors two children during a tumultuous time in their lives (divorce, new house, etc), the book is a story within a story as a father, bringing up his two children Joey and Luna, uses his bedtime tales to bolster confidence in his kids when they are feeling down. The basic moral of the story is to follow your dreams and to have faith no matter what is going on in the environment around you.
In addition to the book, R.C. Bubblegum has also modified a 1972 Jaguar XJ12 four-door sedan into a door-less Rocket 69, with a state-of-the-art sound system. When coupled with the V12 engine, the sound system creates the illusion of an actual rocket launch. Here are some pics of the awesome machine -
If you are interested in buying a copy of Rocket 69 just shoot us an email, for the time being, and we will get you in touch with the proper people. Thanks a bunch to R.C. Bubblegum for the wonderful chat and awesome ride.
