Book excerpt: Digger's Moon is a dramatic, gritty and realistic look at life and death in the Indian Territory. Set in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where Federal Judge Isaac C. Parker and his 200 U.S. Deputy Marshals struggled to bring justice to the chaos of the Western frontier, Digger's Moon recalls life in a place often called "Hell on the Border." It was a place where life was cheap, and living was hard. Violence convulsed everyday life, and revenge was the law of the land.

Painstakingly researched for historical accuracy and masterfully written in the tradition of old-fashioned, campfire story telling, Digger's Moon will sweep you into the adventures of unforgettable characters, page after page. And when you're finished the last page, this story will stay with you from first-light to twilight, through the light of a digger's moon, until you pick it back up and fall once again under its spell.

Download or read book Solo Practice written by Philip Russell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solo Practice is an unsettling book, distinguished but disturbing, a dark novel of possession, obsession and the corruption of love. It considers the limits of friendship and the definitions of family, exploring the porous boundaries that separate parent from child, brother from sister, friend from lover. A finely crafted, compelling study of the nature of twinship, it celebrates the commonality of soul, while also mining the depths of the unspeakable heart. That is to say, this novel examines the nature of love. In luminous prose these stories follow the lives of four young people, flawed and damaged from the start, chronicling their efforts to help themselves and each other achieve the passage to adulthood. Not all survive the journey, and those who do arrive at places their dreams never imagined. Ultimately, Solo Practice is a book about the nature of hope and healing, and the limits of both. Like Raymond Carver, Philip Russell makes us reconsider the meanings of redemption and salvation.

Download or read book Hermit Shack written by T. F. Platt and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epicenter of the story takes place in southern rural Michigan. Some Cub Scouts discovered human bones in a gravel pit. The team of Sheriff Wayne Puller, Deputy Jack Trip and Sergeant Detective Fanny Gillespie is augmented by Kent County Deputy Clydis Groner and Deputies Edith and Harold James along with Platt family children and other family members. Their old dog named Sniffer manages to uncover many of the clues that help resolve the mystery. Although fiction, the story is set into events of actual history including the war in Viet Nam and beginning of foreign oil importing by the United States. One character is Uncle Helio Outhe, an Athabascan Indian truck driver from Alaska who makes a stand favoring the use of our own oil and of the Alaskan pipeline. Helio with his wife Anna Mae [Groner] Outhe participates with others of the family in softening Grandmas pain over the recent loss of Clarence, her beloved husband. The huge white Outhe camper pulled by a Mack truck was designed in part to give Grandma competing thoughts to occupy her mind. The camper hauled the Michigan deputies on an adventure into Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky in quest of clues to resolve not only the murder but also to include historical stops to enjoy Annie Oakley, John Dillinger, and Big Foot. A Big Foot hunt in company with real mountain men provides humor and adventure eventually culminating in Mr. General being handcuffed to his potbelly stove due to his unfortunate grasp of Grandma out in the Big Foot woods. Along the way traveled by the camper or a squad car the deputies discover some history of the Wabash Cannonball and of Amtrak and of a baby carriage dating from 1905. The carriage is restored in time to become a prize possession of an adopted three-year-old maiden with a happy face and a stack of golden curls. In another adventure encountered while on trip carrying the bones previously found by the Cub Scouts in the gravel pit, a group of deputies encounter a lady picking dewberries and she tells them of a mad Yankee, not a Big Foot, that burned their revival tent. Home finally to Leadford, Michigan, granddaughter Hulda Sunshine James in taking her turn caring for Grandma is awakened to find Grandma scalded by coffee in an eerie darkened kitchen with the blue flame of the oil burner ghosting hotly the steam wreathing the prone figure of Grandma on the floor screaming for God to let her see Clarence. Hulda soon found that her Grandmad been awakened before dawn by a hungry Robin. That darned old Robin, Hulda exclaimed. Im going to get up early tomorrow and tend to that bird. Meanwhile back in Manitou Prairie Nathan and Luisa Platt had found their way into the Hermit Shack venue seeking the last clues in resolution of the Hermit Shack mystery. In the distance they hear the siren of Detective Sergeant Fannys ornate police cruiser cracking the evening air on a streak toward the Platt couple standing with pounding hearts out at the Hermit Shack.

Book excerpt: A YALSA 2015 Best Fiction for Young Adults Pick In Kat Spears's hilarious and often poignant debut, high school senior Jesse Alderman, or "Sway," as he's known, could sell hell to a bishop. He also specializes in getting things people want---term papers, a date with the prom queen, fake IDs. He has few close friends and he never EVER lets emotions get in the way. For Jesse, life is simply a series of business transactions. But when Ken Foster, captain of the football team, leading candidate for homecoming king, and all-around jerk, hires Jesse to help him win the heart of the angelic Bridget Smalley, Jesse finds himself feeling all sorts of things. While following Bridget and learning the intimate details of her life, he falls helplessly in love for the very first time. He also finds himself in an accidental friendship with Bridget's belligerent and self-pitying younger brother who has cerebral palsy. Suddenly, Jesse is visiting old folks at a nursing home in order to run into Bridget, and offering his time to help the less fortunate, all the while developing a bond with this young man who idolizes him. Could the tin man really have a heart after all? A Cyrano de Bergerac story with a modern twist, Sway is told from Jesse's point of view with unapologetic truth and biting humor, his observations about the world around him untempered by empathy or compassion---until Bridget's presence in his life forces him to confront his quiet devastation over a life-changing event a year earlier and maybe, just maybe, feel something again.
