<p>We&#8217;ve had a great response to <a href="http://briandavidfloyd.com/its-time-to-visit-the-1980s/">our announcement</a> of the release date and to our <a href="https://youtu.be/guEk84pmOSU">first Behind The Story video.</a></p>



<p>If the data we&#8217;re looking at on Amazon on pre-orders is right, then some people really do have a fever for some 1980s fun &#8212; and our book might be the prescription they need.</p>



<p>Either that or they don&#8217;t want to miss out on the limited time offer of getting <em><a href="http://briandavidfloyd.com/classof87">The Class of &#8217;87</a></em><a href="http://briandavidfloyd.com/classof87"> for only 99 cents</a>.</p>



<p>As I&#8217;ve said before, <em>The Class of &#8217;87</em> is a comical, coming of age story like <em>American Graffiti </em>and <em>Dazed and Confused</em> set in the 1980s, and told with the wit and charm of the late, great John Hughes.</p>



<p><strong>But what&#8217;s a story without characters?  </strong></p>



<p>Well <em>The Class of &#8217;87 </em>has some pretty interesting and unforgettable characters.</p>



<p>In this second Behind The Story video, Robert and I discuss the characters we created for the book.</p>



<p>So allow us to introduce to you the Liberty High School Class of 1987.</p>

<p>Thank you again for all your support of my books and stories.  </p>



<p>The Class of &#8217;87 will be released on Tuesday, January 29th and is available on Kindle, Nook, Apple Books, Kobo, and other ereader devices for a limited time of only 99 cents.</p>



<p><strong>You can get your copy of</strong><em><strong> The Class of &#8217;87</strong></em><strong> by <a href="http://briandavidfloyd.com/classof87">tapping this link.</a></strong></p>



<p>And if you&#8217;re a fan of paperbacks, as I am, a paperback version will also be released on Tuesday exclusively on Amazon.</p>



<p>Robert and I hope you enjoy today&#8217;s Behind The Scenes video and that you enjoy our book, <em>The Class of &#8217;87</em>.<br></p>
