Book Description
From the bestselling masters of the Old West comes the first in a blazing new series about a young deputy sheriff’s coming of age—and trial by gunfire—in a small Texas town. This is the blistering saga of a hero in training, from first blood to final showdown… Flint Moran was fourteen years old when the Civil War ended. He was fifteen when his family bought a plot of land near Tinhorn, Texas. He was barely nineteen when he caught a pair of rustlers stealing cattle—and singlehandedly brought them to justice. How did a teenaged boy track down and capture two hardcase thieves without any help? That’s what Tinhorn sheriff Buck Jackson wants to know. He can’t help but be impressed by Flint’s sharp eye and natural talent with a Henry rifle. So he offers to deputize the boy—tin badge, Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, and all—and Flint happily accepts. But there are things the young deputy doesn’t know. And what he doesn’t know could kill him. . . . There’s a gunman coming to town. A showdown is brewing that could prove to be Flint’s first—and possibly last—test. But either way, there will be blood. . . . Live Free. Read Hard.

Volume 5
Author: Michael DeBenedictis
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1365580199
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Volume 5 is a follow-up, in theme, to all of the four poetry and short story books that came before it. It is a collection of poetry - a blend of beat genre work and epic, longer scale Whitman-esque work, with an undertone of epiphany, insight, and philosophy - and short stories that either carry on the theme or storyline of previous pieces. Deft wordplay, parallelism, and a flow that bounces from rhythmic to run-on are all at work here. This collection is an extension of deeper down the rabbit hole introspective, observational material, as well as material reachable at the surface level, with implications that the roots of the poems' and stories' themes, and true soul, have sprouted much deeper attachments. Volume 5 is another labor of love and personal journal, of sorts, as well as being meant to serve as a catalyst to inspire others to dive further, think deeper, and reach farther.

Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Quentin Kenihan is living proof that superheroes don't need capes, just the right attitude. FOREWORD BY RAY MARTIN When he was a kid, Quentin Kenihan loved Superman. Ironic, really. Quentin didn't need kryptonite to reveal his weakness - born with a rare bone disorder, osteogenesis imperfecta, his bones broke all on their own. When Quentin was seven, Mike Willesee made a documentary about him. Australians fell in love with his wit, and never-say-die attitude. Over the years he grew up before our eyes. But there was a dark side to his life. The true story was never told ... until now. A story of abandonment, drug addiction, dark days and thoughts of suicide. Battling through it all, Quentin's resilience is inspiring. Quentin is now determined to live life the best he can. Just turned 41, he is a filmmaker, stand-up comedian, radio host, actor and film critic; he's hung out with Angelina, accidentally ripped Jennifer Lopez's dress, talked sex with Jean-Claude Van Damme, appeared in MAD MAX and interviewed Julia Gillard, all the while showing that living in a wheelchair doesn't mean staying still. This is an unforgettable, brutally honest, at times heartbreaking memoir. Quentin Kenihan is living proof that superheroes don't need capes, just the right attitude! 'Quentin is a hero of mine. Probably the toughest man I have ever met. Read this book and reconsider how hard you think your life is. It is a liberating experience to face life through his eyes.' - RUSSELL CROWE
