The Adventures of a Helicopter Cowboy

Since the day that the book was published and the shiny maroon cover was opened, Jimmie Tiller has received numerous rave reviews in different magazines and newspapers. Many people are so touched by the book or have enjoyed it so thouroughly that they feel inclined to send Mr. Tiller personal emails saying so. Below are just a few quotes from a variety of write-ups - professional and personal.

"Cowboy adventures take us back to when men were men, nurtured by the land and living off its bounty . . . this story comes from a unique perspective – the helicopter cowboy."
Chuck Owen, Laredo Morning Times

“The importance of this book is that its author is a true pioneer in his profession.”
Ed Harte, Former Caller-Times Publisher
Writing in the Abilene Reporter-News

". . . I would like to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your book "Adventures of a Helicopter Cowboy." I read the book in just two sessions, just couldn't put it down. . . . The insight into how modern day and not so modern day cowboys work the cattle was most interesting. Truly a great book for people who love South Texas, aviation or ranching or better yet, all of the above."
Richard L. Watson, PhD

"What a great treat to get a gift of "Helicopter Cowboy" . . . I stayed up later than usual last night reading the first few episodes. I did not think I could be kept up late by the writings of an old biology teacher. But I was wrong. The book is intersting and hard to put down, and I am certainly not a cowboy."
Tommy George

“. . . extremely interesting and fascinating. Coming from New York City, it adds a certain dimension of excitement and an aura of adventures.
