Book Description
There are devils walking among us, and you never know who they are. You spend time with them. And even then, you might not know until it's too late. They walk among us, smiling with delight in our discomfort, inflecting pain, but you don't feel it. And when you do, it's too late to undo what's been done. You can only pray and wish it would all go away and that it never happened. Dillon proved himself to be a charmer and a friend to many. His good looks got him what he wanted, and his money brought him who he needed. Skylar was something he wanted, and he took his time to sculpt her to his own likeness. He changed her from "that girl" to become subservient. After all the money and effort you put into changing Skylar, you tried to kill her and no doubt would have succeeded if she were home alone. You would have gotten away, and no one would have been the wiser. Being who you are with the power you thought you had, you schemed and planned, hiding evidence in a place no one thought to look. Oftentimes, I wonder if you're really gone because I still get a chill sometimes. I hear your laughter when I'm alone in the house. But Dillon, this is Fiona's house, and the presence of God is here. Next time you see a good-looking man that seems unreal, maybe he is-unreal. Hey, Dillon, we're still here! And thank you for showing me my strengths.

The Devil's Backbone
Author: Bill Wittliff
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292759959
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
The last the boy Papa saw of his Momma, she was galloping away on her horse Precious in the saddle her father took from a dead Mexican officer after the Battle of San Jacinto, fleeing from his Daddy, Old Karl, a vicious, tight-fisted horse trader. Momma’s flight sets Papa on a relentless quest to find her that thrusts him and his scrappy little dog Fritz into adventures all across the wild and woolly Hill Country of Central Texas, down to Mexico, and even into the realm of the ghostly “Shimmery People.” In The Devil’s Backbone, master storyteller Bill Wittliff takes readers on an exciting journey through a rough 1880s frontier as full of colorful characters and unexpected turns of events as the great American quest novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Wittliff grew up listening to stories and memories like these in his own family, and in this imaginative novel, they come to vivid life, creating an engrossing story of a Texas Huck Finn that brims with folk wisdom and sly humor. A rogue’s gallery of characters thwart and aid Papa’s path—Old Karl, hell-bent on bringing the boy back to servitude on his farm, and Herman, Papa’s brother who’s got Old Karl’s horse-trading instincts and greed; Calley Pearsall, an enigmatic cowboy with “other Fish to Fry” who might be an outlaw or a trustworthy “o’Amigo”; o’Jeffey, a black seer who talks to the spirits but won’t tell Papa what she has divined about his Momma; Mister Pegleg, a three-legged coyote with whom Papa forms a poignant, nearly tragic friendship; the “Mexkins” Pepe and Peto and their father Old Crecencio, whose longing for his lost family is as strong as Papa’s; and blind Bird, a magical “blue baby” who can’t see with his eyes but who helps other people see what they hold in their hearts. Papa’s adventures draw him ever nearer to a mysterious cave that haunts his dreams—an actual cave that he discovers at last in the canyons of the Devil’s Backbone—but will he find Momma before Old Karl finds him?

Book Description
Common sense tells you that you would know if you were evil, but what about the freaking anti-christ? Quite ironically, my name is Faith, and up until a few days ago I was just a normal waitress working a dead end job just to get by. My life was going perfectly crappy just like everyone else, and my dumb ass had to go and screw it up looking for love. When a mysterious dating app installs itself onto my phone I cave and take the bait. Little do I know the four blind dates I'm matched with are actually the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and my life is turned upside down like the crosses they wear around their necks. I barely have enough time to process that angels and demons exist because every angel and their momma is descending from a corrupt heaven to kill me. Backed into a corner I'm left with two choices- try to plead my innocence to God and his army, or become the anti-christ they all think I am and build my own. Are good and evil really as black and white as they're tying to make them out to be?
