Book excerpt: At forty-two years old, former World Champion Bull Rider, Richard 'Stick' Slaton, is ready to climb back in the saddle. Driven by his own discontentment and desperation, Stick reenters the PRCA bull riding competition after twenty years. This isn't his first rodeo, but here the stakes are higher-the winnings are his only means to provide a lifesaving operation for his nephew, Bobby. In a race against time, he hits the road, making the local circuit and straddling one wild bull after another. From the time the gate opens, the only thing between life and death is the way he rides. In a bloody battle of brawn against bravery, he'll hold on...or die trying. With his back to a wall, the odds stacked against him, and Bobby's life hanging in the balance, Stick encounters the physical and mental anguish of heart-wrenching defeat, as well as the fame and glory of triumphant success. But neither measure up to the euphoric impact of love upon his life. Bruised but not yet beaten, Stick must make it to the national finals and Amarillo By Morning, where the fate of all will be decided.

Book excerpt: Jerry Hodge has two passions in life: baseball and pharmacy. It didn’t take long before he realized he wasn’t going to have a career as Major League Baseball player, so he focused his efforts on pharmacy by working in local drug stores in high school and college. After graduating college and becoming a pharmacist in 1965, Jerry cobbled together $20,000 in loans to purchase Maxor, an Amarillo, Texas, drug store and become a business owner at the age of 23. But soon after he made the deal, he lost 95 percent of his prescription business when three local physicians either died, retired or moved their office. At the same time, he and his wife were expecting their first child and he was summoned to appear before the draft board for possible deployment to Vietnam. Let Me Tell Ya chronicles how Hodge recovered from business and personal setbacks to become a successful business and family man who turned Maxor into a multi-million dollar national business. Jerry also chronicles how he dealt with personal challenges including two divorces, a diagnosis of terminal cancer and the death of a grandson. He may be the only person to go toe-to-toe with Oprah Winfrey and Boone Pickens ... and survive. Let Me Tell Ya shares the life and business lessons Jerry’s learned along the way in what has been an incredible life.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning radio and TV personality and beloved two-time New York Times bestselling author Bobby Bones, Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School is a hilarious and heartfelt new picture book about a bulldog pup named Stanley and his adventures on the first day of school. Today is Stanley’s first day of school—and he really doesn’t want to go. Stanley would rather dawdle in bed and dither over which collar to wear than get on the school bus. With his stomach turning into tighter knots by the minute, Stanley’s worried whether a bulldog like him will ever fit in with the other pups at school. For one thing, Stanley doesn’t know any of the school rules. He rolls when he’s supposed to sit. Barks when he’s supposed to stay. And worst of all, he doesn’t know how to make friends. But when disaster strikes, maybe all Stanley needs to do is be himself in order save the day? Illustrated with hilariously loving detail by Stephanie Laberis and inspired by Bobby Bones’s own real-life bulldog puppy, Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School will remind every reader about the challenges of trying new things and the value of staying true to yourself.

J. Box Special Agent Garrett Kohl has just taken down a dangerous and deadly cartel boss when he finds trouble brewing back on his family’s homestead. A powerful energy consortium, Talon Corporation, has started an aggressive mining operation that threatens to destroy Garrett’s land, his family’s way of life, and everything they hold dear. To achieve its goals, Talon is flouting the law, bribing public officials, and meeting anyone who challenges it with physical violence. When the Kohls themselves are attacked by Talon guards, Garrett goes on the offensive, embarking on an investigation that he hopes will rid the Texas High Plains of the intruders once and for all. Garrett soon discovers that the company has origins in the dark hinterlands of countries across the globe. Using coercion and assassination levied by men from former Russian special operations forces, Talon is working on a highly secretive scheme to commandeer precious U.S. resources. The tit-for-tat exchange between Talon and the Kohls erupts into a full-scale war when Russian spy Alexi Orlov kidnaps Garrett’s friend and ally CIA operative Kim Manning. While Talon may be accustomed to getting its way in many places around the world, it has yet to encounter this rare breed of warrior down in Texas—a man who will fight to the death to protect those he loves.
