Hogback is a suspense novel, which explores the age-old dilemma of
good versus evil. As a teenager, Jim Coleman, found himself in
prison for a crime he didn't commit. Upon his release he sets off
on a trail of vengeance that leads him through small Georgia towns
with a mounting body count in his wake. When he arrives in Blue
Ridge, Georgia, an encounter with a red-haired beauty named Peggy
Taylor changes his life and those in the town forever. This is the
first of a series based on several of the characters introduced in
this book.
For me, managing awesome teams was both rewarding and exciting. I
learned early on that great managers take care of their team
members; they do the right things for the right reasons. By helping
team members focus on the same vision, they will begin to feel as
if they're playing a championship game every day. People like to
win and most dream of being on a winning team. The saying Life is a
journey not a destination, is so true. Hopefully this book will
provide you with some of those right things to do, or Silver
Bullets you might say.
TALKING ROCK Legs, a thirty-something single mother, has had enough
of entitled rich men using her for their own purposes. To match her
hot body, she creates a confident, in-charge alter ego determined
to turn the tables and exploit them. She desires a life of wealth
and power and when she meets Charlie Webb, a timid lawyer who is
the nephew of a member of the Georgia State Senate, she realizes
that 'high life' may finally be within her grasp. Her plan is to
use his lack of confidence, his connections, and his ambition to
make him a Senator and then marry him. To accomplish this goal, she
uses her knowledge of a serial killer who operated in Georgia, Jim
Coleman, who killed wealthy fathers and their sons with such skill
that the murders were considered suicides. By targeting a random
family first, to set the scene and to test Charlie's abilities and
commitment, she then moves on to his uncle, the person she needs to
eliminate in order to have Charlie appointed to fill his vacant
Senate seat. Legs tips off Bill Dean, a prominent newspaper
reporter, to ensure all suspicion is placed exactly where she wants
it - on Jim Coleman. While the Georgia Bureau of Investigation
follows the evidence on a wild goose chase, Legs and Charlie are on
the fast track toward making all of their dreams come true.

Two seemingly unrelated events on the same day in different parts
of the world have a life-altering effect years later in a small
town in the North Georgia Mountains. Framed as a teenager for a
crime he didn't commit, Jim Cole arrived in Blue Ridge, Georgia
looking for revenge. His goal was to seek out yet another wealthy
family who used their power and influence to prey on regular people
and to make them pay for their deeds by adding them to his rising
body count. What he didn't count on was a chance meeting with a
local teacher that would alter the course of his life. For the
first time, he finds himself in uncharted territory. The loving
guidance of an elderly couple and the unconditional love of a
beautiful woman make him realize he can have a different life. The
question is, does he have the courage to reach for it?
In route to Vietnam in the summer of 1970, Captain Johnny McKay
kept hearing his father's words in his head, Make them a good
soldier, son. Every soldier onboard that flight had one goal in
common - come back alive. Captain McKay soon finds himself immersed
in a war zone with a few good men and very difficult circumstances.
Maintaining an aviation battalion when you're taking fire daily is
no easy task and many will lose their lives. Together these men
endeavor to do everything possible to look out for each other and
the men on the ground fighting an unpopular war. This is the story
of untested men working together under diverse and difficult
circumstances to be the best that they can be.
SUGAR CREEK Traditions run as deeply in the North Georgia mountains
as the roots of the massive old oaks growing in the area. Families
on Sugar Creek, like the Barkleys, lived and worked together in
order to survive the hardships of the 1930s and 1940s. Amos and
Momma Barkley reared their three children on a rented farm and
instilled in them the values of hard work and family. Their sons,
Michael and Jesse, call upon all they've been taught and take very
different paths in life. Their daughter, Ruth, will experience many
tragedies; however, she never allows her faith to falter. December
7, 1941, will change everything. Michael, now a family man, finds
himself ripped from his family and everything he values. Young
Jesse discovers his calling as a soldier and is forced to quickly
become a man. Through it all is a story of family and honor and how
our faith and roots will guide us through just about anything.
