Book Description
A Texas sheriff joins forces with legendary desperado Cullen Baker in a fight against a land-grabbing baron in this historical Western adventure. Lawman Sam Heller is busy enough keeping the peace in Hangtree, Texas. But when he saves the life of a gunslinger on the trail from East Texas, the young man makes an audacious request—that Heller trek with him back across a desert held by brutal outlaws to save one more. Bill made the journey to Hangtree to get help for a friend—quick-draw artist Cullen Baker—who’s fighting to save the Torrent River from a robber baron. Baker’s old pal Johnny Cross has agreed to lend a bullet or two, and with Sam Heller at their side, the odds are even better. When the ammo’s loaded and the triggers are cocked, the Torrent will flow red with blood . . .

Book Description
On April 9th 2003 Major Ramiz Bahia of the Iraqi army is waiting for orders to engage with the American invaders. The camp is in lockdown, the soldiers primed. And yet, on the very next day, Ramiz is out of uniform, on foot and dodging armed farmers and fanatic Baathist militia in an attempt to make it home to his loving family – his heaven. Saddam Hussein is reported missing and the orders from above are to disband. The hell’s road that Ramiz treads, alongside loyal bodyguard Sergeant Ibrahim, leads to the very edge of what a human being can withstand, to witnessing the inhuman consequences of war, and to finding inner belief and physical resources under the most extreme pressure. This is the true story of Major Ramiz. It’s a vivid insight into a 21st-century war zone and a tale of suffering and sacrifice which echoes in the Iraq of today.

Book Description
In his revealing and frank autobiography, David G. Atwood, II takes us into a world of government corruption, back-stabbing politicians and an all too familiar tour of the criminal justice system. Persecuted by a corrupt sheriff's department for exposing a cabal of local corruption that reached into the upper echelon of international politics; prosecuted and sent to federal prison for a crime he didn't commit; and discriminated against for being gay, David leads us on a journey through the life of a prisoner that only an insider could tell and captivates us with a story of courage that will inspire everyone who reads it. Whether revealing the drug connections that for years have padded the pockets of the local cops and exposing how government-sanctioned drug deals in Vicksburg, Mississippi helped illegally fund the Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980's, David leaves no hole's barred as he takes aim at those who would misuse their political power for personal gain.
