The Arkansas Lawyer
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99The Arkansas Lawyer is a meticulously detailed account of one family’s long and frustrating sojourn through the loopholes, disappointments and deceits of a labyrinthine legal system, in innocent pursuit of an equitable estate disbursement according to their beloved uncle’s documented financial wishes. Anyone who has ever had to endure the injustice of our current court system, which focuses more on “what is legal” than “what is right,” will draw comfort from this well-written case in point. Beginning with a glimpse into the lives of a family the reader will come to truly care about, and moving on to an unintentional clerical error compounded by a corporation’s unscrupulous moves to cover their ass-ets, a well-intentioned lawyer’s early misunderstanding of a simple situational fix, the lower court judge’s careless findings, state Supreme Court efforts to countermand those rulings, monies unjustly obtained and devoured by greedy in-laws, and ultimately the whisking away of a large portion of an inheritance by an incomprehensibly self-serving attorney, this account is fast-paced and never dull. The story is backed with revealing email chains and court documents that will be of interest to laymen and legal professionals alike. Join The Arkansas Lawyer on a unique roller coaster ride through a prevalent and important aspect of our lives

Almost Heaven
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99Almost Heaven was originally titled Ballengee. I wrote during the early 80s while driving an eighteen-wheeler across the fruited plain of America and Canada. The characters of Almost Heaven are based on my memories of folks I knew while spending time with my summer parents on the farm in Ballengee, West Virginia. My Summer parents were named Lester and Fonda Lively. Ballengee was a farming and dairy country filled with unique folks. I started going there in 1954 and continued each summer until 1965. I always thought fiction was born of truth, and I filled Ballengee with fictitious characters from impressions of the folks I met there. The storyteller of the work never revealed his name, but if he had, it would have been Ragamuffin. It was a name given to me by Lester when asked who the little boy was hanging around him in the summer. Lester said, “Why, he is my Ragamuffin.” Ballengee is a real place, and I turned it into a small town filled with interesting folks who made it Almost Heaven.
