							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 McMurtryWestern 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.

 | Places
      like the Bluebird Café are the reason that "Music City, USA"

      which feature little known and amateur singer-songwriters performing seven
      nights a week. Most recognized is the legendary new songwriters showcase
      every Sunday. Kathy Mattea and Garth Brooks both played the Bluebird
      before making it big, but the bar stays true to its down-home musical
      roots, providing a place to dream for the most heartfelt, honest strummers
      in a town full of city-slickers with demo tapes. |

    |  | Robert's
      Western World 416 Broadway, Nashville, TN
 | As
      the “Home of Traditional Country Music” you will not find another like
      Robert’s Western World. Merle Haggard, Tom Petty, Tracy Byrd, Kid Rock,
      Allison Kraus and Rascal Flatts all have one thing in common with the
      folks that sometimes make the dinner bell at the Nashville Rescue Mission.
      They have all bellied up to the bar at Robert’s Western World, ordered a
      PBR and a burger and listened to the best traditional country music
      Nashville has to offer. Robert’s Western World draws everyone from the
      stars to a few homeless fellows who in the glow of the flashing neon
      guitar and the signature Red Cowboy boot reminisce as the haunted sounds
      of Hank Williams pierce the night. |
