In 1860, David Lofland and his family, residents of Hickory Flats, Tennessee, will relocate to Arkansas. Before the move to Bluffton, Arkansas, David's love, the beautiful Lillie Mashburn, will be enticed to marry the local parson, Reverend Claxton. The long trip to Arkansas will yield even more disappointments. The depressed nineteen-year-old, finding little joy in life, will ultimately join the Confederate Army, in February 1862. He will be sent to White Sulfur Springs training camp to prepare for the war. During the short training period, David will meet two other young men, Lum and Squirrel, and they will become close friends. The three men and the new 24th Arkansas Regiment will be sent to Fort Hindman at Arkansas Post, Arkansas. The heartache of losing Lillie, along with a series of other disappointments that David will experience, will cause him to seriously question his faith and belief in God. If that is not enough, the 24th Arkansas Regiment will suffer serious losses, as the Confederates face heavy odds in 1863. The young Arkansans, upon being captured at the fall of Fort Hindman, will be sent to Camp Douglas, the notorious Union prisoner-of-war camp near Chicago. How can a man so overwhelmed with such grief, bitterness, and tragedy in his life, continue on with a struggle to live?

Gravelly, Arkansas, was not too different from most small towns in rural Arkansas. For the most part, there was not a great disparity in terms of wealth between the mostly lower middle class and a sizable lower class. Though poor, and largely uneducated, the hardworking Yell County residents were able to scratch out a living in the rocky soil of the Fourche River Valley. Cotton, the cash crop of the South, allowed most families to live reasonably happy, rewarding lives. Though backward by some standards, the people were, for the most part, honest, hardworking, and God fearing. The standard of living was improving for most, and a brighter future lay ahead. Few people ever left Yell County and moved away. Most grew up there, got little education, selected a Yell County mate, bore children, worked hard, died, and were buried in one of the cemeteries. Since the industrious natives seldom had time for visiting and fellowship, they always enjoyed the occasional gatherings, whether church, revival, sale day, or even funerals or wakes. A segregated society existed, yet some knew not why since there were almost no blacks in Yell County. Of course, very few whites could have afforded to own a slave. Beginning on May 6, 1861, life would begin to drastically change for most people in Yell County. Secession from the Union would change everything. Four young men, fast friends, would join the state militia. The four friends, all from slightly different social-economic levels and backgrounds, would become soldiers and prepare for the approaching invasion of Arkansas by Federal troops. From a training base at Van Buren, Arkansas, the Arkansas militia would march north to meet a Federal army moving down from Springfield, Missouri. The battle, on March 6-7, 1862, would be the largest Civil War battle fought west of the Mississippi River. The battle would result in a divided state of Arkansas, with a Federal capital at Little Rock and a Confederate capital at Washington, Arkansas.

WAKE UP BITCH AND FIX ME SOME CHICKEN is a humorous look at the patients and staff at a state-run mental health hospital. Whether divinely driven or by serendipitous happenstance, John R. Booth, after a career in the pharmaceutical business, found himself working as a social worker at the largest mental health facility in his state. In his first book, Booth chronicles stories of some of his most memorable patients. His preconceptions of what the patients would be like began an almost immediate transformation upon his arrival. He had heard all the stories and seen all the movies that depicted these souls as dangerous mental defectives and was sure that his life expectancy would take a turn for the worse with prolonged exposure to the "crazy cooties" he knew they must be infested with. The first day his ideas of mental illness began the transformation from shock and revulsion to seeing humor in the patients' distorted reality and their reactions and adaptation to this reality. Some patients were truly scary and dangerous. Sometimes they would say funny things, and other times they would say things funny. Dan, Poor Pitiful Paul, Doug the Firebug, and all the others are real patients, with real problems, who are really funny, if you just look for it. Whether it is midgets in the walls, misunderstood English, fast-talking Gilbert, or the psychobabble of Nurse Kiki, rest assured, you will not "sleep right through it." This easy read will keep you turning pages, give you a new view of the mentally ill, put a smile on your face, and, in the end, you'll see why John believes that his patients are some of the most precious people on earth.

"An imposing debut novel which zig zags to a scorching finale." - Kirkus. It appears the Gospel Killer has returned from his sabbatical. A year and a half after the last victim was found, the dead bodies and pattern have begun anew. Every twenty-seven days a man is murdered. Each victim shares a Biblical name from the Gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. Additionally, each of the dead men is found nude, each has recently ejaculated, and the killer has used a serrated edged knife each time. The Gospel Killer leaves his calling card, a King James version of the Bible, near each dead body. With Dallas police and the FBI both unable to stop the deaths, a wealthy and seductive widow of one of the Gospel Killer's most recent victims hires private investigator Mark Witt to join in the search for the elusive serial killer. Witt, an ex-cop and former seminary student, knows all too well of the ugliness that can occur in life. He knows the secrets that death can hold and he understands how killers cling to the shadows. What Mark doesn't understand, though, is that the Gospel Killer knows of secrets too. When the Gospel Killer learns about a past mistake long held secret by Mark, it threatens the investigator's entire life. In order to protect his family, and to keep his own secret locked in the shadows, Mark must now provide assistance to the Gospel Killer. This is an untenable situation and one that both sides know will almost surely end in death...but whose?

Driving an old tractor around the fields on the farm wasn't too exciting for Talmage E. "Tom/Tal" Miller until one of the National Guard biplanes had a forced landing nearby. He ran to get a closer look at this big bird - too late. They got it fixed and blew dirt in his face when they took off. That instilled a bug in him to learn to fly, which he did one night at Denver Municipal Airport in 1936. His training was delayed when his father was transferred to Lincoln, Nebraska. WWII came about and he learned to fly in the Enlisted Reserve under the CPT program, where he soloed in 1942. He graduated from the Central Instructors School at Randolph Field and was assigned to Tex Rankin's Primary Flight Training School. The war was winding down and less demand for pilots closed the flight schools. Tex Rankin helped him get into cadet pilot training at Santa Ana, California. He got his wings in Douglas, Arizona, and was assigned to "bombing through overcast" school flying North American B-25s. When the war ended, he returned to the farm, but eventually landed an instructor job at Sky Ranch Airport before being hired by Combs Aircraft, a Beechcraft dealer, to sell airplanes. He flew everything from the Bonanza to the King Air 200 turboprop and won many awards for aircraft sales. He later founded his own airplane sales company with Bill Haines, chief pilot for the Dillon Company. They sold many kinds of airplanes, from DC-3s to North American Sabreliner models 40 and 60 in many parts of the world. He collected many friends and stories along the way. His book describes encounters with Olive Ann Beechcraft, Roscoe Turner, Paul Mantz, Frank Tallman, Elrey Jeppesen and many other well-known names in the aviation industry. This large print version of From the Ground Up: From the Tractor to the Sabre is Black & White on White Paper is 7" x 10", 440 pages. From the Ground Up: From the Tractor to the Sabre is also available in a 6" x 9" Black & White version (398) and as an ebook.

Common Sense for Today's America shows that there are practical ways of solving the ongoing issues Americans face today. The book covers government and politics of course, but also looks at family life, education, church, God, sports, and pretty much anything that makes people feel frustrated and wondering what happened to the American Dream. Often with humor, Common Sense for Today's America turns the most complex problems upside down and looks at them with the perspective of real solutions that do not adhere to any one philosophy or bias. JJ McKeever gives readers a chance to sit back and look at little excerpts of life that are happening in the United States today. A common topic is what goes on in our nation's capital with President Obama and Congress. While conservative in nature, Mr. McKeever is ready to give credit when due to liberals and Democrats and is ready to blast the Republicans when they get in their own way...which happens way too often. One of the biggest themes in Common Sense for Today's America is that it is never all one side or the other that is responsible for the problems, or who has the perfect solution. America was founded on compromise; otherwise they would still be debating the Declaration of Independence! This is an intelligent vision of how to tackle our biggest issues, and you will often be laughing while reading them. This same philosophy permeates all other subjects. While a Christian, JJ McKeever holds other belief systems in total respect while showing how religion can lose sight of both God and people. In a world where education is paramount, the dysfunctional way America sometimes tackles our education issues are brought to light. The importance of family and parents in their kids' lives is also a common theme. This is all addressed with the idea that the United States is a great country and there is no reason why the American Dream cannot be a beacon for everyone to shoot for again. While our problems in America can be complex, the solutions can be relatively simple if people took time to actually listen to each other. Common Sense for Today's America is to be enjoyed...and hopefully to make the reader think. We have a wonderful country...let's keep it going for another few hundred years!
