ATWOOD - "A Toiler's Weird Odyssey of Deliverance" -AVAILABLE NOW FOR KINDLE (INCLUDING KINDLE COMPUTER APPS) FROM AMAZON.COM. Use this link.

CCJ Publisher Rick Alan Rice dissects the building of America in a trilogy of novels collectively calledATWOOD. Book One explores the development of the American West through the lens of public policy, land planning, municipal development, and governance as it played out in one of the new counties of Kansas in the latter half of the 19th Century. The novel focuses on the religious and cultural traditions that imbued the American Midwest with a special character that continues to have a profound effect on American politics to this day. Book One creates an understanding about America's cultural foundations that is further explored in books two and three that further trace the historical-cultural-spiritual development of one isolated county on the Great Plains that stands as an icon in the development of a certain brand of American character. That's the serious stuff viewed from high altitude. The story itself gets down and dirty with the supernatural, which in ATWOOD - A Toiler's Weird Odyssey of Deliveranceis the outfall of misfires in human interactions, from the monumental to the sublime. The book features the epic poem "The Toiler" as well as artwork by New Mexico artist Richard Padilla.

Elmore Leonard Meets Larry McMurtry

Western Crime Novel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am offering another novel through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing service. Cooksin is the story of a criminal syndicate that sets its sights on a ranching/farming community in Weld County, Colorado, 1950. The perpetrators of the criminal enterprise steal farm equipment, slaughter cattle, and rob the personal property of individuals whose assets have been inventoried in advance and distributed through a vast system of illegal commerce.

It is a ripping good yarn, filled with suspense and intrigue. This was designed intentionally to pay homage to the type of creative works being produced in 1950, when the story is set. Richard Padilla has done his usually brilliant work in capturing the look and feel of a certain type of crime fiction being produced in that era. The whole thing has the feel of those black & white films you see on Turner Movie Classics, and the writing will remind you a little of Elmore Leonard, whose earliest works were westerns. Use this link.

 

EXPLORE THE KINDLE BOOK LIBRARY

If you have not explored the books available from Amazon.com's Kindle Publishing division you would do yourself a favor to do so. You will find classic literature there, as well as tons of privately published books of every kind. A lot of it is awful, like a lot of traditionally published books are awful, but some are truly classics. You can get the entire collection of Shakespeare's works for two bucks.

You do not need to buy a Kindle to take advantage of this low-cost library. Use this link to go to an Amazon.com page from which you can download for free a Kindle App for your computer, tablet, or phone.

Amazon is the largest, but far from the only digital publisher. You can find similar treasure troves at NOOK Press (the Barnes & Noble site), Lulu, and others.

Elizabeth Kay

www.pytheaproductions.com
The daughter of two writers (one a long-time professor of literature at the University of South Florida), Elizabeth Kay was raised in an intellectual environment that promoted discernment and a "distanced" perspective on things. (I can say this with authority because I knew her parents and have known Liz since she was a kid.) It shows in her work, which has ranged from paint to lithography to pencil drawings. She seems focused on the inner lives of her subjects, their yearnings and desires, actual motivations. You don't think this way without some early exposure to Socratic dialogue that pushes back and demands strategic views. Most people's songs, for instance, are about their own feelings. Liz, in her art, is more inclined to explore "the other," and she typically does it with humor and whimsy.

Elizabeth wrote a book a few years back that explored the folk traditions of Native American and Spanish Colonial settlers of the Chimayo, New Mexco area. Her paintings, which she does on commission and as part of a folk art series, turn those traditions in on themselves to humorous effect as she mirrors the humanity of her subjects, who in some cases are her clients. Her work is by turns subtle and ornery and funny. It has been showcased at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of
American History and cards of her paintings have been distributed throughout the U.S.

Liz's other passion in life is music. There she tends toward ancient folk and languorous ballads, again the vista being space. That said, she and I used to do a mean version of Delaney and Bonnie's "Never Ending Love For You," so she's not beyond rowdy drinking songs. She plays guitar and piano and writes songs, but she's not typically confessional, more inclined toward arcane folk of another time. She, by the way, is a trained martial artist who has kicked my ass on numerous occasions.
