Lex on his cell he went over to Dallas in his boat
and began towing the raft south to Cold Spring
Yacht Club.
The winds were picking up and the sky was
getting very dark, as Lex came to the Cold
Spring Dock. Just as they arrived and untied
the towline between them, a bolt of lightning
struck a metal pole right near the two boats.
Now the wind and rain came in torrents.
They ran for cover and waited for the storm to
stop. That was a very dramatic end to one of
Dallas’s trips.
Of course Dallas continued to build other rafts
and had all sorts of adventures both in building
the rafts and on the water.
What I never knew until I read his two-volume
book on his adventures was what an expert
writer and storyteller he is.
Trombley uses his seven years of experience
at the New York State Legislature to enrich
his political and historical non-fiction writing.
He draws on his varied experiences when
writing fiction. Trombley has been employed
as a pharmacy technician, a gas-tank repairer,
an insurance clerk, a truck stop bartender, a
substitute teacher, an independent tutor, a
server at a Mexican restaurant, a house painter,
and as the Senior Analyst for the Labor and
Insurance Committees at the New York State
Legislature.
Trombley was featured in The New York
Times and Outside. The most enjoyable part of
publishing a magazine about the Hudson River
is all the wonderful characters that you meet!
This is a two-volume book that can be
purchased on Amazon or for that matter at one
of his autograph signings that will take place
throughout September and October at different
locations up and down the Hudson River.
I will make a prediction that Dallas Trombley’s
writing will explain the ins and outs of the New
York State Legislature to a lot of people. Dallas
was a “fly on the wall” in many of the laws that
were enacted while he worked there. He brings
a tremendous amount of talent to explaining to
the average New York State resident how things
work in Albany!
His public appearances will be noted on
Boating on the Hudson, Facebook and on
DallasTrambley.Com
You can also purchase his two-volume book
set at Amazon.com and bring it to his book
signings for his autograph.
I am convinced that one day his autograph on
these original books of COMING OF AGE ON
THE HUDSON RIVER will be very valuable.
