Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colicky horses, trucks high-centered in pastures, late nights spent in barns birthing calves--the trials and tribulations of farm and ranch life are as central to its experience as amber waves of grain and Sunday dinners at the ranch house. Ankle High and Knee Deep collects together essays about lessons learned by ranch women, cowgirls, and farmers about what they’ve learned while standing in or stepping out of “mud, manure, and other offal” in their day to day lives on the land. This collection of entertaining and inspirational voices offers unique perspectives on relationships, loss, love, marriage, and parenting and other universal issues. These are contemporary accounts of women struggling to keep a lifestyle intact, recollections of childhoods spent in open spaces, and tales of overcoming obstacles--inspirational reading for city dwellers and country folk, alike.

Book excerpt: Young Americans take to the road in droves during the volatile 1960's. Some flee a military draft that demands they kill or be killed in a war halfway around the world. Others search for excitement, a temporary reprieve from the prison of work, school, marriage or family. And one, the Drifter, has a particularly compelling reason to hitchhike the country's highways. He carries a dark secret that, if revealed, could cost his freedom. Or his life. Now, it's late 1965. The Drifter, camped in central Idaho, stumbles across a woman's body. Though his first instinct is self-preservation, he decides to give the corpse a decent burial. Bad idea. Discovered by a search party and wounded by a bullet, the Drifter is chased through Idaho's rugged wilderness. He runs for his life, headlong into a baffling mystery involving UFOs and murder. It will take all the Drifter's cunning - and lots of luck - to survive, as Kissing Asphalt pits him in a harrowing life or death struggle against Nature, against his fellow man, and against himself. The first in an exciting new series.
Download or read book Hollywood North written by Michael Libling and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Libling’s assured, quietly menacing debut [is] based on his World Fantasy Award–nominated novella of the same title. . . . Fans of Stand by Me and the like will find much to enjoy.” —Publishers Weekly It’s the 1960s, and Gus Berry is coming of age in Trenton, a small town on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The place isn’t known for much—unless you count the menacing stray dogs, plant explosions, plane collisions, and regular drownings. The adults seem to take it all in stride, but Gus can’t shake the feeling of impending doom. His friend Annie Barker doesn’t share Gus’s dark thoughts; she believes in things. So Gus goes about his days, surviving school, trying to live up to his widowed mother’s expectations, and growing increasingly obsessed with movies and TV shows. Indeed, he scripts his life to make it way more exciting and adventurous than it actually is. Gus is clearly a boy who wants things, which makes Jack Levin the perfect friend. He’s a local hero famous for finding stuff : a message in a bottle, a meteorite, a long-lost wedding ring. And when Jack makes his most mysterious discovery yet, Gus and Annie are drawn with him into an investigation of Trenton’s past. Guided by their curiosity, they soon uncover a malignant darkness behind the town’s senseless tragedies. In Hollywood North, World Fantasy Award–nominated author Michael Libling “spins a tale of movies and memories, nightmares and nostalgia, with such a frightening secret at its core, that you’ll understand why, even though you can go home again, you might end up wishing you didn’t” (Ian Rogers, author of Every House Is Haunted). “[A] fine first novel . . . Bradbury might have sketched out this mode in the darker parts of Dandelion Wine and the entirety of Something Wicked This Way Comes, but contemporary authors such as Libling are showing us refinements of sensibility and sense of wonder that the old Waukeganian never dreamed of.” —Locus
