Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trying to describe the social changes that have occurred in America in the past forty years is not an easy job. Forty years, gosh, that sounds like a lifetime. Forty years, that’s ancient. At the start of World War II, that would have been equal to before 1900. General Custer fought the Sioux only a few years before. Forty years was a long time ago, but everyone knows about President Kennedy. Have we considered he’s been gone for almost fifty years? What does forty years really mean? Life in Coalville, Montana, a city similar to Billings, Montana, has changed dramatically in the past forty years. More than Los Angeles, more than New York City—yes, even more than Springfield, Missouri, but why? It’s just another place in another “ho-hum area.” Why would its changes be so extreme? Because it was a part of the Old West, and its people liked it a part of the Old West. It was a cow town, and the natives liked it a cow town. Change wasn’t welcome in Coalville, and then the phenomena that blankets the earth happened: discovering that money for its own sake is worthless, the new wealthy of the world begin to fall upon the Last Best Place. This was before earrings hung from longhaired men’s ears—before diamonds protruded from noses and navels, and tattoos showed above and below exposing camisoles. Let’s view the changes through the eyes of Sheriff Wade Hollingsworth, who remembers back, “Back when you and I were young, Maggie.” The lion cub first saw life in the high reaches of the Beartooth Mountains between Yellowstone National Park and Interstate Highway 90, running east and west across Southern Montana. It’s a throwback to lions of its type that lived well before the birth of Christ. As a youngster, it quickly dominates the wild things it encounters. In the remote setting that was its world, it might have never known man had not its mother died savagely at the hands of man and his dogs. Now, “on the fight,” the lion moves into the civilized area north of the mountains. From concealment, on a golf course, newly constructed to serve the booming population of Coalville, the lion takes a dog first and then a small boy. Its next victim is a member of the growing drug community drawn to Coalville by the new growth that accompanies coal development. Coalville, Montana, long known as the methamphetamine capital of the Pacific Northwest, is the business center of a vast, sparsely inhabited area lying between Fargo, North Dakota, and Spokane, Washington. It lends itself to being a jump-off place for drug runners between the United States and Canada. This fact comes to the attention of a more sophisticated drug dealer than Coalville knows, one who notes that wealthy clients are collecting in sought-after areas of Montana—residents for at least a part of the year—needing drugs and high-class prostitutes. In move Cuban peddler Joseph Bustos and his feared enforcer Jesus Porras. Enterprising Bustos sees the need for a band of high-class prostitutes, and he imports just such a selection. Beautiful, beyond most men’s dreams, but expensive beyond most men’s dreams also. Unknown by the everyday workingmen of Montana, imported only to serve newcomers to the state, owners of palatial homes near Big Fork, Whitefish, Big Sky, and in the coliseum openly flaunted “for millionaires only,” the Yellowstone Club. Often escorts only to their wealthy but impotent clients, the girls live a protected life, moving by jet between clients, keeping a share of their fee, unheard-of by earlier sisters—why? Their pimp is more interested in the income from his main service. Drugs. Longtime Sheriff Wade Hollingsworth is aware of the blithe settling on his area, but he has only so many resources, and chasing the lion is spreading him thin. The monster is taking both vagrants and notables, and it leaves no evidence of its gender. Search by dog and helicopter yields nothing, for various reasons. The sheriff thinks the killer is a grizzly. The lion’s activiti

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I begin with a disclaimer. Should you not be up for exploring a coup de litterature, then simply stop right here. If you are curious, enjoy an outrageous story, bizarre characters and tons of giggles, press on. May I introduce myself? I am Lord Reginald Quinton Leary, the author and the one to blame. I was faced with a unique, almost insoluble problem. I had a wonderfully strange and funny little caper peopled with outrageous characters that begged to be shared. My problem was how to get the story on paper. You see I am just short of a hundred and seventy-five years old. That is correct, dear reader; I am a full fledged, card carrying member of the spirit world. Now you understand my problem. How does a spectral presence write a book? I made feeble attempt after feeble attempt. I needed help. One of our little gang was Clive Brigham, a very successful English author, intelligent, handsome, witty and terminally horny. Naturally I turned to him for help. Wrong! He was much too concerned with the visions of merkins that danced in his head. The next most obvious choice for assistance in our gang was a very successful Irish publisher, Seamus Cullen. Again, wrong! He was far too busy with his delusions of grandeur and being a professional Irishman. I was ready for a padded room. Then suddenly: a Zen moment. Tradition and redundancy be damned! I will be my own ghost writer. There always has to be a first. So I began with a vengeance my reinvigorated effort. I will do the bloody thing myself. Ghost writer; Hmmm; I like the sound of that. Let’s begin with my favorite subject; me. I was born inEnglandinto the titled Leary family. Some distant relative supposedly fought in the Norman Conquest and was awarded English land for his faithful service. Castle Leary was built and the noble Leary lineage had begun. Generations later when I was a mere puppy in residence, pater was off fighting withWellingtonatWaterloo. He was unfortunately standing too close to his battery of cannon when a volley completely scrambled his marbles. He returned from the wars with an un-diagnosed medical condition: almost continual sexual arousal. He remained, into his dotage, an aberrant, drooling, over sexed war hero with a bulge in his baggy tweeds. About this time, mores be damned, I decided to wear one of Mother’s lovely frocks to a royal ball atBalmoralCastleinScotland. The Empire almost collapsed. I would have been racked in the Tower were it not for mater and pater’s influence in the closet of the House of Lords. Mercifully, I was exiled to GlenLeary inIrelandto watch over the Leary estate. I still think all the fuss was because I was the prettiest one at the ball. One weekend, long after I should have ceased such falderal, I climbed on the back of a great bay brute and rode off to the music of the hounds. At the first fence, the bay and I parted company. Yours truly made a balloon ascension and then attempted to lunch on the stone fence - time for the big dirt nap. When I came around I realized, as Seamus is fond of saying, I had taken up residence among the Banshees. I lingered and became GlenLeary’s famous or infamous, depending on your point of view, spectral resident. GlenLeary lingered as well and it was a race to see which of us could use the most patching plaster. Finally and gratefully, the fourth member of our gang arrived on the scene, a rich American, business woman, Hanna Denning. She suggested to the Georgian Society and the National Trust that a bed and breakfast would help save the grand old place and make it pay. Today we are one ofIreland’s most popular tourist accommodations. The next step was the Georgian Society’s wisdom in sending us the final member of our merry little band, James O’ Brian. He is a handsome young Irish Concierge who, as it turned out is not only a wonderful chef, oenophile and gentleman b

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up until 1980, less than 50 brave souls had managed the monumental open-ocean solo swim from the SoCal coast to Catalina Island. But that's exactly what Cal, a simple burger artist, sets out to do in Chip Rock and the Catalina Kid. In the clammy coastal town of No Palms, Chip Rock and his pals have aged out of the pathetic orphanage known as Boys Hall. 27 miles across the channel, Catalina Island sits in the haze. Catalina Kid tells the saga of Chip's lifelong friend, Cal, an industrious yet unsettled dreamer, looking for a meaningful role in his world. Following a seemingly random remark, Cal shocks the community when he embarks on a daring 27-mile open-water swim to Catalina Island. His daunting attempt will captivate the entire town, including: Haley, the tenacious heart-throb who entangles Cal's swirling emotions; and Sherwin, a 5 year-old pipsqueak and cheerleader. As Haley helps in her mysterious ways, and the waves pound the No Palms cliffs, Cal's harrowing attempt turns perilous, drawing the entire town into the physical and emotional trials of his punishing adventure. The suspense builds from the moment Cal dips his toe in the water. Catalina Kid reveals the unlikely hero in all of us, and how ordinary people react to extraordinary situations. Chip Rock and the Catalina Kid is the nail-biting sequel to Chip Rock and the Fat Old Fart. Michael Daswick's first book, Chip Rock and the Fat Old Fart, is a novel about revelations, underdogs, the fragile threads that hold families together, and fatherhood. This sequel, Chip Rock and The Catalina Kid, explores the strength of dreams and the unexpected pursuits of heroism.
