Conquer the Bar (The Real Rocky Unplugged) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467959810)

JOHN D. MOTTA originally grew up in the small unknown town of Braidwood, Illinois, until one day the word spread like wildfire (not radiation) that the Nuclear Power Plant was under construction which put the town on the map. John considered himself as just another one of the "boyz from Illinoiz" where he attended Reed-Custer High School lettering in baseball. He never had the option of telling the popular "back in the day" story about having to trudge across the railroad ties for a mile in the dead of winter to get to the one room double-story red schoolhouse...'cause he just had to hop, skip, and jump across the road and baseball diamond from home before the last outdoor rope bell rang its course. John served his country in the Viet Nam War from 1969-1972. He later received a degree from DeVry in electronics. His first published fictional book that was written was entitled: MY MOTHER the GOAT. John now resides in the great tourist town of Lake Geneva, still a minority Chicago Cubs fan sanwiched between all the die hard Brewer fans on the block. John's best gal-friend Trudy Rauch a native of this Wisconsin territory, has her famous cat Gustafer wish him the best of luck with a drum beat over the phone when he gets famished!
